# $PSYOPS Staking

$PSYOPS staking powers access and participation within the Agent Arc ecosystem.

By staking, users unlock premium agent features, reduce circulating supply, and earn ARC points that reflect their engagement in the network.

#### **Native PSYOPS Staking**

Native staking on Agent Arc lets users lock PSYOPS for fixed periods to activate access and earn multipliers that boost their participation score.\
This system is designed to reward commitment and reinforce the long-term value of PSYOPS.

**Lock Durations & Multipliers**

| Lock Period | Multiplier |
| ----------- | ---------- |
| 30 days     | 1.08×      |
| 90 days     | 1.25×      |
| 180 days    | 1.5×       |
| 360 days    | 2.0×       |

Longer lock-ups grant higher multipliers and greater weighting in the ecosystem’s reward and access models.

#### **How It Works**

**Step 1 — Stake PSYOPS**\
Connect your wallet and stake any amount of PSYOPS.\
Choose a lock period (30, 90, 180, or 360 days).\
Your stake activates your access tier within the Agent Arc trading suite.

**Step 2 — Earn Participation Points**\
Once staked, your position continuously accrues ARC points that reflect your contribution to the ecosystem.\
These points are influenced by both stake size and lock duration.

**Step 3 — Unlock Ecosystem Benefits**\
Participation points determine access to certain agent features, priority privileges, and future reward opportunities as the ecosystem evolves.\
Additional benefits for stakers will be announced in upcoming releases.

Your dashboard displays a simulated points — a dynamic estimate that reflects your share of the current points pool. The displayed rate helps visualize your relative position and projected performance but is not a guaranteed yield. Values fluctuate based on total staking volume, lock durations, and participation across the network.
