# Staking
## What is Staking?
Staking is the process of locking up CHREMA tokens on the platform for a specified period to contribute to the ecosystem and earn rewards in return.
For investors, staking offers an opportunity to generate returns, while for the platform, it serves as a key mechanism to secure liquidity and stability.
