# Staking

How does staking works?

By using our platform, you are able to stack your $KNOX and receive $sKnox (stackedKnox) in return. Keep in mind that 1 $KNOX will always be equal to 1  $sKnox, the tokens can be unstaked at any time, there is no lock-up period. 

The incentive to stake your $KNOX tokens is to receive dividends every 8 hours. Very simple and intuitive, it only takes a few clicks to stake your $KNOX and start earning passive income.

It is important to note that staking can be used a passive, long-term strategy. With your $KNOX token stake increasing over time, it basically slowly reduce your purchase price, for instance, if the market price of $KNOX is inferior to the price at which you bought your tokens, by staking your tokens long enough in our protocol, the increase of your $sKnoxbalance will outpace the fall in price at some point.
