# Staking

### Why do we have a staking program?

We want to give back a part of Learnify's revenue and reward active community members

### Where does the APR comes from?

The APR comes from our *Community Incentive* reserve and from  $LEARN collected by the *Revenue wallet* from in-app activity

### Who can stake $LEARN?

Any user can start staking as long as they have a Learnify account, access to staking pools is subject to tiers by levels.

### What are level tiers?

| Tier | Level requirement | Reward split |
| :--: | ----------------- | ------------ |
|   I  | 1 - 9             | 20%          |
|  II  | 10 - 19           | 20%          |
|  III | 20 - 29           | 20%          |
|  IV  | 30 - 39           | 20%          |
|   V  | 40 - 50           | 20%          |

### How to stake?

You can access staking through the app, staking is **permissionned**  and can't be done directly through the contract, however unstaking is **permissionless** and can be done directly through the contract at any time even if Learnify is down.

Note that unstaking is subject to gas fees and an unbonding period of 7 days, while staking gas fees are sponsored by Learnify.
