# Staking & Governance

### Gochu Token Staking

Gochu token holders can stake their tokens through our dashboard to earn a share of the platform’s revenue and participate in governance decisions.

#### 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**.
