Wagon Network’s staking system allows you to lock up your $WAG tokens and receive $**stkWAG** in return — a representation of your staked position. Holding $stkWAG gives you access to:

* 📈 **Staking Rewards** – Earn $WAG tokens over time from our reward pool and DeFi revenue
* 🗳️ **Governance Power** – Use $stkWAG to vote on loan approvals, protocol parameters, and treasury decisions
* ♻️ **Transferability** – $stkWAG is tradable and transferable, giving you flexibility even while your tokens are staked

### Why Stake?

By staking your $WAG, you:

* Help secure the protocol and lending operations
* Participate in decentralized governance
* Earn consistent passive rewards
* Contribute to the growth of a community-owned financial platform

### Key Features

* **Current APY**: Variable (based on protocol earnings and reward pool)
* **Unstake Period**: 14 days
* **Reward Claim:** Instantly available; no lock or delay.
* **Dashboard**: Easy-to-use interface to stake, claim, or participate in governance

> Note: Rewards and APY are subject to protocol performance and market conditions.
