# Staking

When staking, people are removing FFD tokens from the market and giving them back to the protocol. Unlike bonding, which injects new FFD into the market, users are now removing FFD from circulation and giving it back to Fenture DAO.

Staking in the Fenture DeFi ecosystem tends to offer long-term growth prospects and the chance to earn a passive income.
