# Staking

Staking in the Unstoppable ecosystem involves locking[ $UND and $eUND tokens](https://docs.unstoppable.ooo/unstoppable/tokenomics/und-and-eund-tokens) to earn rewards. This process is integral for sustaining the protocol's economy and providing value back to its participants.

## **Staking Mechanism**

UND and eUND tokens can be staked for a pro-rata share of protocol revenue. Staked tokens are locked and illiquid, however, a stake can be unstaked at anytime.

This approach ensures a sustainable and authentic 'Real Yield' for stakers, differentiating it from inflationary rewards.

## **Staking Multiplier Points**

The longer a user maintains their stakked position, the higher your staking multiplier points. These points enhance your share of the rewards, incentivizing long-term commitment.

## **Vesting and Staking Rewards**

$eUND tokens can be [vested](https://docs.unstoppable.ooo/unstoppable/und-and-eund-tokens#vesting) into $UND linearly over 12 months. While vesting, tokens are locked, do not earn rewards and not are able to participate in governance.

Once vested into $UND, these tokens gain full utility available to $UND.
