# Staking

Vox Royale offers a robust staking system designed to reward players for holding and staking $VXR tokens. Here’s how our staking system operates:

#### Annual Percentage Yield (APY):

Players earn rewards based on their staked $VXR tokens, with the APY structured as follows:

* Staking 0-1000 $VXR: 5% APY
* Staking 1000-2000 $VXR: 10% APY
* Staking 2000-3000 $VXR: 15% APY
* Staking 3000-4000 $VXR: 20% APY
* Staking 4000-5000 $VXR: 25% APY
* Staking 5000-6000 $VXR: 30% APY
* Staking 6000 $VXR or more: 35% APY

#### APY Increment:

The APY increases by 1% per day starting from the previous APY plus 1% on the day the balance changes, providing incremental rewards for continuous staking.

#### Withdrawal Fees:

When withdrawing in-game balances, players incur the following fees:

* **Withdrawal Fee**: 4% of the withdrawn amount.
* **Gas Fee**: Equivalent to the current cost of gas for the withdrawal transaction, ensuring transparency and efficiency in withdrawals.

Our staking system encourages long-term investment in $VXR tokens by offering competitive APY rates that increase with higher staking amounts. Additionally, withdrawal fees are structured to maintain fairness and sustainability within the ecosystem.
