# LAYERK Staking ## LAYERK Token LAYERK holders can participate in the Vesting Protocol by locking their LAYERK tokens to receive vLAYERK. Vesting involves temporarily locking a portion of the total token supply out of circulation. vLAYERK is a non-transferable token that grants holders access to various benefits within the ecosystem. This includes earning rewards from the vLAYERK Ecosystem, gaining advantages through the Ranking System, and voting in LAYERK-DAO decisions. For each LAYERK token committed, one vLAYERK is issued to the user's wallet. *** ### Unvesting It will be possible to initiate the unvesting of vLAYERK tokens through the Unvesting page. Upon executing a smart contract, you will receive LFi tokens. According to the unvesting smart contract, LFi tokens will be released gradually over approximately 730 days, on a per-block basis. The release will follow the formula outlined below: $$ LAYERK\ released\ each\ block = \frac{vLAYERK\ committed}{20937860} $$ --- # 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.
