# Staking

With Staking, players participate in a process that not only earns them an Annual Percentage Yield (APY) but also unlocks exclusive rewards while engaging in gameplay concurrently. Here’s how it works: 

1. $TYT Tokens - Players can stake their $TYT tokens to earn APY and exclusive rewards
2. NFT Staking -  In future, players can also stake NFT for bonus rewards. Additional details to be provided once available. 

\
Essentially, Staking serves as a fundamental process enabling players to grow their wealth while securing the best possible advantage in preparation for the game’s launch. Staking rewards aren’t just prizes; they’re strategic assets, offering players a competitive edge through equipping players with special tools and unique resources to dominate the game from day one.

**Staking Pool Features**

By staking $TYT, players can earn treasure shards, which can be merged into treasure chests, unlocking a treasure trove of unique and valuable in-game assets.

**How does it work?**

There are two methods of Staking available: Team Staking vs Individual Staking. Both approaches offer unique benefits and challenges, and understanding their nuances is crucial for players seeking to maximize their rewards.&#x20;

\
**Individual Staking**

\
Individual Staking represents a key feature of Bounty Temple’s ecosystem as a method for players to earn [Treasure Boxes](/whitepaper-v1/marketplace-and-tokenomics/treasure-boxes.md) and Shards at their own pace, according to their unique preference and playstyle–allowing players to make decisions based on personal priorities.

\
Through this approach, players can take action with full autonomy and flexibility based on their Staking objectives: with the magnitude of the rewards reaped directly correlating to the level of effort exerted.&#x20;

**Team Staking**&#x20;

However, at its core, Staking within Bounty Temple serves as a catalyst for collaboration, bringing together players from around the globe to form alliances and exchange insights–with the added allure of compounded rewards to be achieved through collaborative gameplay.\
\
The end result would ideally be a competitive environment for the gaming community to leverage their combined resources and expertise to amplify the collective rewards. <br>

Possibly the most attractive benefits for team staking is that: When staking targets are hit, leaders get to mint treasure boxes while members enjoy extra APY.&#x20;

Naturally, by forming alliances and pooling resources, players can maximize staking efforts through participating in guild wars and unlock greater rewards collectively.&#x20;

**Achieve Team Staking Targets to Unlock Exclusive Rewards!**
