# Staking

The staking program allows users to stake SLOWLY tokens for a variable amount of time.

There are 2 values associated with a users stake:

* Staked SLOWLY
* xSLOWLY (Staked SLOWLY x duration)

The staked SLOWLY is the amount of tokens that the vault actually holds for the user that can be slashed or unstaked,\
while xSLOWLY is a value indicating a users rank for purposes like giveaways and voting.
