# Staking

GPTX's ecosystem offers multiple staking and farming options for $GPTX token holders, mainly used to access the AI protocol and farming to earn rewards in $GPTX tokens.

#### Staking: What It Is and How It Works

Staking is a mechanism that allows token holders to earn rewards or certain benefits within an ecosystem by locking up their tokens and contributing to the security and stability of the network. In the case of GPTX, staking enables token holders to access the AI Protocol and receive priority access to its services. To participate in staking, a token holder must lock up a certain number of $GPTX tokens for a set period. This period can vary depending on the specific staking program. The tokens are unavailable for use during this time, but the token holder enjoys each staking program's benefits.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://project-gptx.gitbook.io/gptx-whitepaper/token-utility/staking.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
