# Liquid Staking - stONT * Introduction to Liquid Staking * Overview of stONT * Procedure for Staking ONT * Procedure for Unstaking ONT ## Introduction to Liquid Staking Let's kick off with Liquid staking represents an evolution in the field of staking. Unlike traditional staking mechanisms that require assets to be locked to earn rewards, liquid staking offers financial flexibility by allowing users to remain liquid. This enables token holders to continue transacting, trading, or participating in various DeFi protocols while concurrently earning staking rewards. ## Overview of stONT stONT serves as a gateway to liquid staking within the Ontology Network. What distinguishes stONT from conventional ONT tokens is its unique economic model. Specifically, stONT escalates in value without multiplying in quantity. As the node you have staked with accumulates ONG rewards, the value of stONT increases against the value of ONG. ## Procedure for Staking ONT Staking ONT tokens can be accomplished using ONTO Wallet's mobile and web-based applications.
