# VOOI:staking ## VOOI Staking Introduction VOOI Staking is a stand alone on-chain service that allows users to stake their $VOOI tokens, earn continuous rewards, and unlock utility across the VOOI ecosystem. * **Staking Dashboard:** * **What is $VOOI token:** [vooi-tokenoverview](https://docs.vooi.io/vooi-tokenoverview "mention") Staked $VOOI unlocks additional value across the VOOI ecosystem. At launch, staking contracts are deployed exclusively on Ethereum. Multi-chain staking may be introduced later once liquidity conditions and protocol needs evolve. ## Rewards ### Rewards Distribution Rewards are distributed in **$VOOI** and accumulate on **every block**. The reward logic is linear and based on: * The user’s share of the total staking pool, * The time their tokens remain staked, * The current APR parameter (APR is a dynamic parameter that can be adjusted through governance or protocol configuration). ### Rewards Claiming Users can claim their rewards at any time. When a claim is made: * All claimed rewards are **automatically added** to the user’s active stake, * Once added to the stake, rewards can be withdrawn – **partially or in full** – by performing an unstake + withdrawal flow. ## Staking and Unstaking Users can stake or unstake any amount of tokens at any time: * There are **no minimum periods** required to begin earning rewards. * There are **no limits** on how many tokens must be staked, * There are **no staking or unstaking** fees charged by the protocol. **Seven-day unlock period** When a user requests to unstake, a 7-day unlock period begins. During the unlock period: * Tokens in unlock mode stop generating rewards. * These tokens cannot be re-staked until the unlock period is over. * After 7 days, tokens become available for withdrawal. **Important:** This mechanism prevents reward manipulations and protects the integrity of the staking pool. ## Questions?
