# Staking

Staking will have mechanics similar to Hxro Network’s staking protocol in that loyalty through increasing staking term provides the token holder with greater stake weight (which doubles as voting weight and reward share.)

Staking PEP distributes three types of rewards to stakers:

* USDC revenue share rewards
* Boosted oPEP trading incentives
* Taker fee discounts
* Voting power in governance

Stake PEP to receive vePEP, PepperDEX’s governance token that enables users to participate in PepperDAO’s governance mechanism.
