# Staking

APES can be staked to generate a continuous token income.

There are 2 staking options:

1. No lock-up stake - users claim daily reward (0.01%).
2. Lock up stake - users claim rewards after the defined period. The longer APES tokens are locked up, the higher the respective share of the pool and, therefore, the higher rewards.\
   3 months - 0.03%;\
   6 months - 0.04%;\
   9 months - 0.06%;\
   12 months - 0.08%.

The rewards generated during the staking time, are locked for 12 months and the users will not be able to take out the rewarded APES token for this time.
