#### Staking allows BvsB holders to earn passive income by adding their tokens to a Staking pool. Staked tokens count as BULL vote (x1).&#x20;

## **POOL A**

{% hint style="success" %}

* **Lock-up Period:** Seven (7) days.
* **APR:** Fixed 72%
* **Total Capacity**: Unlimited
* **Min Deposit:** 0 $BvsB
* Fees: None (0)
  {% endhint %}

## **POOL B**&#x20;

{% hint style="success" %}

* **Lock-up Period:** One (1) month
* **APR: Variable and equal to Number of Stakers (min 18% and max 500%)**
* **Total Capacity**: Unlimited
* **Min Deposit:** 2,000 BvsB

## Where do Staking rewards come from?

Rewards are minted when a user claims their rewards. It means claiming rewards increase the token's supply. To counteract the inflation of the supply, BvsB games include implementations for burning mechanisms. An additional 5% of rewards is minted and sent to the Gaming Reserves wallet when a user claim their rewards. This extra amount is not taken from the user's rewards, to make sure users pay zero (0) fees when staking their tokens.

## What does it mean *"Variable %APR"* (Pool B only)

Pool B uses an interesting concept that works like this:

* When a new staker deposits BvsB tokens into the pool, the APR is increased by 1% to everyone.
* When an old staker withdraws BvsB tokens from the pool, the APR is decreased by 1% for everyone.

<mark style="color:red;">**The best part is that these changes in the APR affect your pending rewards as well!**</mark>

There is a minimum and a maximum for the APR for Pool B.&#x20;

The minimum means that if the number of stakers is lower than 18, the APR is 18% until there are more than 18 stakers.

The same concept applies to the maximum %APR. If there are more than 500 stakers, the APR is 500% until there are less than 500 stakers. <mark style="color:red;">**Let's get that 500% APR together!**</mark>
