# Staking Guide

Stake your tokens or LP tokens (coming soon) on CC Swap to earn extra rewards! Staking is a great way to boost your DeFi earnings by locking your assets in smart contracts for a set (or flexible) period of time in exchange for incentives.

### <mark style="color:blue;">🪙 What is Staking?</mark>

Staking involves depositing and locking your **tokens** or **LP tokens** into specific pools to earn **CCDN tokens** or other partner project rewards. It's a low-effort, passive strategy to grow your crypto holdings.

#### 🎯 Types of Staking on CCSwap

1. **Single Token Staking**
   * Stake native tokens like **CCDN** or partner tokens.
   * No need to provide liquidity.
2. **LP Token Staking (Farm Pools)** (Coming Soon)
   * Stake LP tokens earned from providing liquidity.
   * Get boosted rewards on top of swap fees.
