# Staking ## What is Staking **Stakers can stake their METF tokens on the MM ETF site to earn staking rewards.** The staking rewards come from the **proceed from bond sales**, and can vary based on the number of METF staked in the protocol and the **reward rate** set by monetary policy. **Staking is a passive, long-term strategy.** The increase in your stake of METF translates into a constantly falling cost basis converging on zero. This means even if the market price of METF drops below your initial purchase price, given a long enough staking period, the increase in your staked METF balance should eventually outpace the fall in price. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
