# NETA staking protocol

Holders of $NETA will also be able to stake their tokens for variable APY with the native token as rewards. NETA offers a unique staking proposal which differs from other projects. The staking ecosystem comprises of:

2% Deposit fee which is burnt

15% Early withdrawal fee (5% burnt, 5% redistributed to holders and 5% back to the staking pool)

(Holders will be distributed these reflections once a day)

The principle behind this staking protocol is to ensure that investors who keep their tokens staked will earn additional tokens from the early withdrawals. NETA has also implemented a burn feature to ensure that the total supply is going down and so that it counters token inflation.
