# Staking & Locking

Staking:

* Stake your $PONCH tokens within the Ponchiqs ecosystem to earn passive rewards.
* The longer you stake, the greater the rewards, encouraging a commitment to the Ponchiqs community.

#### Locking:

* Lock your $PONCH tokens for specific durations to access exclusive benefits and bonuses.
* Enjoy additional perks, such as early access to in-game content, exclusive experiences, or special events.\

  More information about Ponchiqs buyback program will be shared here very soon.
