# Staking

### Earn Rewards with Monad Punks

\
To strengthen the Monad Punks ecosystem and reward our holders, we are introducing a **staking mechanism**. Staking allows holders to lock up their Monad Punks NFTs for a chosen period, reinforcing long-term commitment while earning rewards from NadSniper and future Monad Punks ecosystem dApps.

**How Staking Works**

* Holders can **stake their NFTs** for flexible durations — from **a day, a week, a month to a year**.
* NFTs can be **unstaked at any time**, giving holders full control over their assets.
* The longer you stake, the greater the rewards you accumulate.

\
When staking your Monad Punks NFTs, you will generate our native ecosystem reward token: **$PUNOG (Punk OGs on Monad)**.

* $PUNOG is earned **daily**, based on how many NFTs you stake and for how long.
* The more days you stake, the more $PUNOG you accumulate.

**Rewards Distribution**

* Rewards will be distributed **monthly**, based on the $PUNOG you have collected.
* Holders can then **redeem their $PUNOG** for rewards.
* This system ensures that rewards are proportional — meaning **the more $PUNOG you hold, the larger your share of the rewards pool**.

In short, staking is not only a way to maximize the value of your Monad Punks NFTs but also a gateway into the broader Monad Punks ecosystem economy. The longer you stake, the more **$PUNOG** you accumulate — and the bigger your slice of the reward pie becomes.
