# Staking

#### 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
* Fees: None (0)
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
💰 When you deposit more tokens, your **pending rewards get automatically claimed**!

👉 Please be aware that **every time you add more stake to the pool the lock-up period is reset.**
{% endhint %}

## 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>

```
GET https://bulls-vs-bears-1.gitbook.io/bvsb/services/staking.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
