# Staking $AURK for Rewards

#### Staking AURK Tokens

Aurk AI offers a unique and rewarding staking system designed to incentivize long-term participation and engagement within its ecosystem. By staking AURK tokens, users can earn raffle tickets that provide opportunities to win rewards while maintaining full ownership and control of their tokens. Here’s how it works:

For every **1 AURK token staked**, users receive **1 raffle ticket**, which enters them into a reward pool. The system rewards commitment by increasing the number of tickets by **30% each month** for as long as the tokens remain staked. This means that the longer you stake, the higher your chances of winning. Your odds of winning are calculated by dividing your total tickets by the total number of tickets in the pool. To maximize your chances, you can either **stake more tokens** (1 token = 1 ticket) or **maintain your stake longer** to benefit from the monthly 30% ticket bonus.

Your staked tokens remain **safe and unaffected** regardless of raffle outcomes, and you retain full ownership, allowing you to unstake at any time. If you choose to unstake, only the tickets associated with the unstaked amount are removed, while the remaining staked tokens continue to accumulate the 30% monthly bonus. Importantly, the system prevents ticket recycling—unstaking and re-staking the same tokens does not generate new tickets. This ensures fairness and encourages sustained participation.

Staking AURK tokens is a secure and flexible way to engage with the Aurk AI ecosystem, offering both the potential for rewards and the opportunity to contribute to the platform’s growth. Visit [aurk.org/staking](https://aurk.org/staking) to learn more and start staking today!
