# \[Archived] $ELM Staking
{% hint style="danger" %}
Single-Sided $ELM Staking feature has been sunset and is no longer active.
{% endhint %}
## Why Stake?
The ELM staking pool exists for several purposes:
1. As a motivator for the re-investment of $ELM through passive rewards.
2. To bring the community together through global incentives and a common goal.
3. To reward in-game players through individual incentives.
The v1 ELM Staking Pool emits 250 $ELM daily. You staked $ELM is also affected by the amount of $ELM staked / the amount of off-chain circulating $ELM, creating a virtuous cycle where users lock $ELM for more rewards rather than selling them off.
| % off-chain $ELM staked | % emissions multiplier |
| ----------------------- | ---------------------- |
| below 30% | 0% |
| up to 40% | 50% |
| up to 50% | 60% |
| up to 60% | 80% |
| above 60% | 100% |
**Your entire deposited balance will be locked for 4 weeks (28 days) upon a new stake.**
You can view all your staked $ELM and their details in our Bank. Upon the end of a staking period, you can choose to re-stake the deposited amount or withdraw it.
{% hint style="info" %}
After 4 weeks, you must re-deposit $ELM (i.e 0.01 $ELM) to re-lock the balance to continue earning emissions and boosts.
{% endhint %}
Emissions can be claimed at any time.
