# Staking

## Staking in Clarnium Ecosystem

{% hint style="success" %}
Staking in the Clarnium ecosystem will start only **after the $CLAR token is listed on the open market.**
{% endhint %}

#### We view staking not as a launch gimmick, but as a long-term mechanism to:

* **Incentivize true believers** to hold $CLAR;
* **Lock additional liquidity** when it’s most strategically needed;
* **Support market health** and stability in the early stages of growth.

This phase will be launched when the ecosystem reaches the necessary level of maturity. We’ll provide detailed information about the APY, mechanics, and smart contract audits closer to launch.

Stay tuned! The earlier you stake, the more impact and upside you secure.
