# Stake XEUS (⚡️,⚡️)

Staking allows you to earn **XEUS** passively via auto-compounding. By staking your **XEUS** with **Xeus-Finance**, you receive sXEUS (staked XEUS) in return at a 1:1 ratio. After that, your sXEUS balance will increase automatically on every epoch (**5 hours**) based on the current APY. We are also the only rebase protocol, which **rebase is every 5 hours** and not every 8 hours, giving it an **even bigger compounding effect.**

## Read the Info right

**APY** tells you the annualized rate of return based on the reward yield. It considers the effect of compounding since **sXEUS** rebases exponentially.\\

**TVD** measures the dollar amount of all the staked **XEUS** in Xeus Finance.

**Current Index** allows you to track your gain from staking. The index started from 1 at epoch 0, and increases every epoch. If you staked at genesis (epoch 0) and never unstaked any **XEUS**, your balance today would be X times greater, where X is the current index. You can use the index to track your position by marking down the index number when you stake and unstake. You divide the index number when you unstake by the index number when you stake to get the ratio by which your **sXEUS** balance has increased.

**Your Balance** tells you how many unstaked **XEUS** are in your wallet. This is the maximum amount that you can stake.

**Your Staked Balance** tells you how many staked **XEUS** (sXEUS) are in your wallet. This is the maximum amount that you can unstake.

**Next Reward Amount** tells you how much sXEUS you are getting next rebase,

**Next Reward Yield** tells you how much your **sXEUS** balance will increase when the next epoch begins. For example, if you stake 100 **XEUS** and the upcoming rebase is 0.9139%, your **sXEUS** balance would increase from 100 to 100.9139.

**ROI (5-Day Rate)** estimates how much your **sXEUS** balance will increase after 5 days if the reward yield stays the same during this period. For example, if you stake **100 XEUS** and the rate is 25.5384%, your **sXEUS** balance would increase from 100 to 125.5384 after 5 days.
