# DF Staking

## **DF Staking**

dForce features a hybrid staking model that includes ***Free Staking*** and ***Lock-up Staking*****:**

* ***Free Staking*** allows DF holders to stake and unstake at any time, and earn a passive yield.
* ***Lock-up staking*** requires a lock-up period of DF tokens from one week (minimum) up to 4-year (maximum) - the longer you lock DF tokens, the higher yield and voting power you will earn.

Lock-up staking yield is accrued on top of free staking yield structurally. In addition to that, most of DF purchased in the secondary market will be rewarded to lock-up stakers.
