# 🏦 Stake Your High-Value NFTs

### Overview

While we encourage you to trade your NFTs (especially arts, collectibles, clothes etc.),  Matterverse rewards **high-value NFTs (land and pioneer passport) owners** who believe in the platform's long-term vision and stay for the long-term through our staking program. Staking your land and passport NFTs would lock up those NFTs (but does not impact how you use or rent them to others) and allow you to earn #MATT tokens. 

This benefits both the NFT owners and the ecosystem as a whole, as it ensures **a more stable market for vital resources, such as important land locations.** Making it easier for content creators & business operators to plan and perform their activities within Matterverse, leading to a better overall experience for Matterverse inhabitants. 

### Staking Mechanism

Returns from staking your land parcels mainly come from the sale of new land parcels released each week and the rents in the <mark style="color:yellow;">**\[̲̅$̲̅(⊗̃ ͜ʖ⊗̃)̲̅$̲̅]Zone**</mark>.&#x20;

Returns for staking your <mark style="color:blue;">**Pioneer Passport**</mark> mainly come from the continuous sale of <mark style="color:blue;">**Voyager**</mark> and <mark style="color:blue;">**Explorer**</mark> Passports.&#x20;

Besides those sources, the platform will also have an Ecosystem Fund to avoid fluctuations in the staking payout.
