# DeFi Staking

We will launch a $DBY liquidity function with tiered token rewards varying by the lock-up periods. Users can participate by depositing $DBY into their respective liquidity mining accounts (within their own user accounts and separate from the accounts of other users). There will be four lock-up periods for selection. Below is an overview of the $DBY liquidity mining mechanism:

More details will be updated upon the launch of the $DBY liquidity mining feature.

| Lock-up period | 30 days / 90 days / 1 year / 2 year                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Token rewards  | $DBY                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| APY (%)        | The yield will be based on the $DBY amount deposited and your lock-up period. The more amount deposited for a longer lock-up period, the more token rewards you receive (independent of amounts and periods of deposits by other users as well as total amount deposited by all users). |
