What Staking Offers
Each Elata app has a staking vault where you can lock your app tokens. Staking provides:- A way to signal commitment to the app community
- Potential access to gated features (if the builder configures it)
- Reduced circulating supply, which can support token price
- Governance weight in app-level decisions (where applicable)
How To Stake
- Go to the app’s detail page on app.elata.bio
- Navigate to the staking section
- Choose the amount of app tokens to stake
- Confirm the transaction
XP and Protocol Rewards
Beyond app-level staking, you can earn XP through protocol-wide participation:| Activity | What You Earn |
|---|---|
| App token staking | Community standing, feature access |
| ELTA staking (veELTA) | Governance voting power |
| Protocol participation | XP (non-transferable) |
| Tournament participation | Prize pool rewards (in app tokens) |
XP is earned through active participation, not passive holding. See Incentives and Access for details.
Before You Stake
Check these before locking tokens:- Fee routing: understand how the app’s fees are split (see Fee Flow)
- Lock duration: tokens are locked for the chosen period and cannot be withdrawn early
- App health: review holder distribution and trading volume in the app’s analytics
- Staking ratio: a healthy range is 30-50% of circulating supply
ELTA Staking (veELTA)
For protocol-level governance, you can lock ELTA tokens to receive veELTA (voting power). This is separate from app token staking. See veELTA and Governance for details on lock durations and voting mechanics.Next
