# Staking mechanics The staking pools will be selected based on time duration. The longer staked, the higher the multiplier. Stakers will have the option to unstake at a fee. Because the multipliers and rewards are significantly higher at longer duration, the fees will also be higher. This is necessary so that the holders can’t simply stake and absorb larger rewards then leave at will. **Staking durations and common information:** 30 Days – 1x Multiplier, 10% unstake fee. 90 Days – 2x Multiplier, 15% unstake fee. 180 Days – 5x Multiplier, 20% unstake fee. 1 Year – 10x Multiplier, 30% unstake fee. 2 Year – 20x Multiplier, 50% unstake fee. 5 Year – 50x Multiplier, 70% unstake fee. **How to earn monthly wBTC dividends?** Stake in the designated MinePro dApp **How are monthly dividends received?** Claim from dApp. **Are any $MINE tokens paid out as staking rewards?** $MINE is never paid out as a staking reward, the $MINE token is deflationary and staking rewards are paid in **wBTC ONLY.** --- # 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.
