# $MTO Staking

<figure><img src="/files/Zbt2LBUGH5lYM1cLeLjs" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### **Staking**

By staking your $MTO, you can get $GMTO rewards continuously. Rewards accrue on a pro-rata basis at an annual rate of 40 $GMTO for every 1 $MTO staked — calculated and accumulated daily for as long as your tokens remain staked.

### **How it works**

1. **Stake** — Lock your $MTO into the Staking smart contract on Polygon. Your GMTO rewards begin accruing immediately.
2. **Apply Claim** — When you want to collect your accumulated $GMTO rewards, submit an Apply Claim. This records your claimable amount and starts a 7-day lock period.
3. **Claim** — After the 7-day lock period ends, you can claim your rewards. The accumulated $GMTO is sent to your wallet, and your staked $MTO principal is returned at the same time.

### **Using your $GMTO**

The $GMTO you get through staking can be used across the Meteorn Run ecosystem to:

* Repair NFT shoes
* Purchase NFT items

Staking is fully non-custodial and executed on-chain via smart contract. Both your principal $MTO and $GMTO remain verifiable on the Polygon blockchain at all times.
