#### **Understanding $CBULL Staking** <a href="#understanding-bsx-staking" id="understanding-bsx-staking"></a>

At its core, $CBULL staking represents more than just any sort of yield-generating mechanism – it's a fundamental pillar of the CryptoBull ecosystem. By staking $CBULL, users not only earn and redeem all of our [utility rewards](/whitepaper/usdcbull-utilities.md) but also actively participate in the exchanges governance and future development.

Stake your $CBULL to receive scBULL and unlock rewards while shaping CryptoBull Exchange. Here’s how it works:

* **Staking Yield**: Earn $CBULL every day, Get a 15% APR from emissions. This starts at launch and tapers over time.
* **Governance Power**: Use scBULL to vote on exchanges changes with more voting power. Your staked tokens help decide platform upgrades, fee adjustments, and ecosystem direction.
* **All Main Benefits**:
  * Found in [$CBULL Utilities](/whitepaper/usdcbull-utilities.md)
  * Stake a 200k $CBULL to maximise the potential of all utilities,\
    if you stake less $CBULL you will get rewarded in equal proportion of that amount. \
    Example: \
