# Stake to Earn

Staking involves locking up a certain amount of cryptocurrency to support the network's operations and earn rewards in return. With Hopium's staking feature, users can earn $HOPIUM tokens by providing liquidity to the network.

Users can participate in Hopium's staking feature by connecting their cryptocurrency wallet to the network and depositing their desired amount of supported cryptocurrencies.&#x20;

Once a user has staked their cryptocurrency, they will begin earning rewards in the form of $HOPIUM tokens. The rewards are distributed based on the amount of cryptocurrency staked, the duration of the staking period, and the current network utilization. Users can choose to unstake their cryptocurrency at any time, but may incur penalties for early unstaking.

Hopium's staking feature is designed to incentivize users to contribute to the network's liquidity, which helps to maintain its stability and usability. By providing liquidity, users can earn passive income in the form of $HOPIUM tokens while also supporting the growth of the Hopium ecosystem.

Overall, Hopium's staking feature offers a unique opportunity for cryptocurrency holders to earn rewards while supporting the growth of a decentralized finance project.
