# $ARBOT Staking (discontinued)

ARBOT staking reward is one of the utilities of ARBOT, holders are able to receive staking rewards originate from taxes and subscription fees. 

***

**Introduction** 

* Staking rewards will be distributed in [$ARBOT](https://twitter.com/search?q=%24ARBOT\&src=cashtag_click), **which will be bought back on the open market and will not charge the 5% tax** 
* No minimum staking amount required, and you can choose to unstake at any time 
* Your rewards depend on the proportion of tokens you stake in relation to the total staking amount. You can claim the rewards at any time without minimum threshold, but please assess the gas fee cost on your own

***

**Distribution method** 

* To ensure a more stable and consistent distribution of rewards, we will operate on a monthly reward cycle, assessing the accumulated reward pool amount and market trading volume to determine the repurchase amount of ARBOT in market and the monthly allocation of rewards. 
* As for the amount of [$ARBOT](https://twitter.com/search?q=%24ARBOT\&src=cashtag_click) rewards in the next cycle, it will vary based on future taxes and subscription fees. we will announce it in advance a few days before the end of this cycle.
* Monthly Distribution:
