# wsMINO Staking

![](/files/Y4WIEEPOd2M7j1EgrHfu)

Staking of wsMINO tokens (wrapped sMINO tokens) provides our users with rewards fairly and transparently. sMINO tokens are received immediately when users deposit MINO on Minotaur Money, and wsMINO tokens are obtained by [wrapping](https://minotaur.money/#/wrap) sMINO tokens. With wsMINO token staking, MINO token stakers receive multiple token rewards.&#x20;

[Staking opportunities for wsMINO tokens](https://minotaurmoney.medium.com/mm-finance-to-provide-staking-utility-for-minotaur-money-7514607043d0) are currently provided by Mad Meerkat Finance ([mm.finance](https://mm.finance)). They operate two pools:

**1. Stake wsMINO\* → earn MMF**

**2. Stake MMF → earn MINO**

\* sMINO is staked as wrapped sMINO, wsMINO, to account for rebase rewards while wrapped&#x20;

Therefore, not only do users obtain an additional yield token for staking sMINO, that yield token can also be staked to earn additional MINO tokens. This enables the following cycle:

These reward pools offer a fair, transparent method of managing our user rewards. The amount of DAO resources dedicated to these pools, which amounts to a user giveback, is available to be divided proportionally amongst all sMINO and MMF holders. We prefer this arrangement to alternate methods of managing user rewards, such as random sweepstakes, which some competitors have adopted.

In addition, the mutual nature of the pooling between MINO, sMINO, and MMF tokens provides each product's users with direct exposure to the other protocol, increasing awareness of and participation in both ecosystems.
