Why Do Pluang+ Members Get a Higher Staking APY?
Pluang+ is Pluang's premium membership tier, and one of its key benefits is a higher staking APY across all supported coins. For example, SOL staking APY for Pluang+ is approximately 4.50% versus 2.22% for Regular users. This higher rate is a commercial benefit of the Pluang+ subscription, not a difference in how rewards are calculated.
