Staking on STON.fi

What is staking?
Staking is locking STON in a smart contract for a chosen period to receive protocol rewards. You keep custody; the contract enforces the lock-up.
💡 When you farm, you stake LP tokens to get extra rewards on top of pool fees. Lock-up depends on the farm. When you stake, you stake STON and get protocol-defined rewards. Lock-up is chosen by you. Read more on the difference between liquidity provision, staking, and farming in this guide.
What you get
ARKENSTON (soulbound NFT). Tied to your wallet; not transferable. It’s designed as proof of long-term alignment with the protocol and an access key to governanceIt is your entry pass to the STON.fi DAO and your voting power — the level of influence you have in the DAO. The more STON you stake and the longer you lock it in the protocol, the more voting power you have.
GEMSTON (community token). Issued at stake time per the on-screen calculator. Its utility and distribution rules will be set by the DAO. In practice, that means GEMSTON is the lever the community can use to power programs, incentives, and access mechanics over time — aligning active participants with the protocol’s growth while keeping the rules transparent and on-chain.
