#### How Staking Works * Users **choose how many tokens to stake**, and earnings are based on the amount staked. * Revenue is distributed **pro rata** based on the amount of Gochu tokens staked relative to the total staking pool. * Rewards **accumulate every 7 days** and are added to a claimable wallet. * Users can **claim rewards at any time** from their claimable wallet. * When first staking, users do not earn rewards in the initial period—rewards start accumulating from the second period onward. * **If a user unstakes during a period, they forfeit their rewards for that period.** #### Staking Dashboard The staking dashboard provides key insights, including: * Total number of stakers * Total amount of Gochu tokens staked * Platform revenue (lifetime and current period) * Time remaining until the next reward period * Your % share of the staking pool * Your claimable rewards #### Governance and Voting Stakers also gain governance rights, allowing them to vote on platform decisions such as: * New feature development * Revenue allocation * Infrastructure upgrades * General platform direction Governance proposals can be viewed in the dashboard, and voting power is determined by the amount of Gochu tokens staked. By staking, users **earn passive income and have a say in shaping the future of Gochu.fun**.
