FAQ #### **Q1: Can I cancel after staking and get my tokens back?** No. Tokens can only be unlocked after the mandatory 1-year staking period. #### **Q2: Can I transfer tokens while they are staked?** No. Staked tokens cannot be transferred. #### **Q3: Do staked tokens generate yield or rewards?** No. Staked tokens do not provide additional yield. The rewards generated have no lock-up period, and the staker can keep **100% of their mapping rewards**. #### **Q4: Can I stake for multiple devices?** Yes. Each staking action applies to only one unit. You may perform multiple staking operations for additional devices. #### **Q5: Can I change my wallet address after staking?** No. Once staking is completed, the **wallet address is permanently bound** to the device. For fleet users, the fleet owner’s staking wallet must remain the same. Rewards can then be distributed to drivers. #### **Q6: Can I change the wallet connected to my ROVR App after I receive the device?** No. The ROVR App wallet **must match the wallet used for staking**. If the wallet is changed, the device **cannot generate rewards** or receive mined tokens. ### 6.
