## **Stake Description**

Users can stake original tokens (XZK/vXZK) into the contract to receive corresponding amounts of staking tokens.

## **Important Notes**

* **Minimum Staking Amount**: The minimum staking amount is 100 tokens
* **Non-Transferable Tokens**: The received staking tokens (sXZK-\* or svXZK-\*) cannot be transferred
* **Locking Period**: You cannot unstake your tokens before the locking period ends

## **Stake Steps**
