# Staking and Rewards

Staking is a critical component of iRender’s economic model, allowing users to earn rewards by contributing to the liquidity and security of the network.

* Token Staked Amount: Influences reward levels, incentivizing larger contributions.
* Stake Duration: Rewards are scaled based on the duration tokens are staked.
* GPU Level Multiplier: Reflects the computational value of resources provided, encouraging high-quality GPU contributions.
