# 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. 

[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 

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:

![The Circular Benefits of MINO Staking](/files/BYVskGWqNVrZp7h8lKef)

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.

## 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://minotaur-money.gitbook.io/minotaur.money/using-minotaur/wsmino-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.
