# How to Stake/Withdraw

This guide explains how to stake $SOSO on SoDEX, what you receive after staking, how SSI Points are boosted, and how to unstake and redeem $SOSO.

## One-minute “Flow” (quick understanding)

Deposit → Buy $SOSO (on SoDEX) → Redirect to SSI Earn→ Connect wallet (**Must the same one as SoDEX**) → Stake → Unstake → Cooldown (14 days) → Claim/Redeem → $SOSO credited to EVM-Funding

## Where to Start (on SoDEX)

### Entries

You can access SSI Earn from SoDEX in two ways (both redirect to <https://ssi.sosovalue.com/earn>):

* Option A (Top notification bar on the SOSO Spot page)

On the SOSO Spot trading page, click the top notification bar message:“Stake $SOSO to boost your SSI staking rewards!”

* Option B (“Stake to Earn” in Balance panel)

<figure><img src="https://1007272333-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FMvoaIXBZgH49uWtJ0AQG%2Fuploads%2FQI9hQjtOgFMKKlPbCOuB%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=49399bab-2ef6-4e29-ace2-51e6be943dbd" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

In the Balance section at the bottom-left of the trading page, find your SOSO row and click “Stake to Earn."

### Transfer $SOSO to EVM-Funding

Once you click the button of two options, you will need to transfer your $SOSO from Spot to EVM-Funding account.

### Redirect to SSI (<https://ssi.sosovalue.com/earn>)

Once you finish the Transfer, you can click the button to SSI for staking.

## How to Stake $SOSO (on SSI Earn)

1. On SoDEX, deposit $SOSO into SoDEX or buy $SOSO through Spot Trading.
2. Use one of the entry points above to open SSI Earn: <https://ssi.sosovalue.com/earn>
3. On SSI Earn, locate the $SOSO staking section and click Stake.
4. Enter the amount of $SOSO you want to stake.
5. Confirm the details and sign the on-chain transaction (gas fee will apply).
6. After the transaction succeeds:

* Your $SOSO is deposited into the staking contract
* You receive sSOSO as the receipt token representing your staked position

Where does my $SOSO go? Your $SOSO is locked in the staking contract on SSI Earn, and $sSOSO represents your staked balance.

## SSI Points

* Staking $SOSO does not generate direct token yield payouts.
* It only boosts your SSI Points multiplier.
* SSI Points are distributed automatically every day.
* The $SOSO Airdrop will be distributed after the end of each epoch based on the amount of SSI Points held by users.
* To view your SSI Points and history, visit: <https://ssi.sosovalue.com/reward>

## How to Unstake & Redeem $SOSO (on SSI Earn)

Unstaking is a two-step process: initiate unstake → wait 14-day cooldown → claim.

1. Go to SSI Earn: <https://ssi.sosovalue.com/earn>
2. Open your $SOSO staking position and click Unstake.
3. Confirm and sign the on-chain transaction to start the 14-day cooldown.
4. After the cooldown ends, return to SSI Earn and manually Claim/Redeem.
5. The redeemed $SOSO will be credited to your SoDEX EVM-Funding account.

## Important Notes & Risks

* Receipt token safety: Protect your sSOSO. If sSOSO is transferred or lost, you may lose the ability to redeem the corresponding $SOSO.
* Market risk: $SOSO is a digital asset and may experience significant price volatility.
* On-chain risk: Transactions may fail or be delayed due to network congestion or network conditions.
* Fees: On-chain gas fees apply (typically < 0.001 $SOSO, but may vary).
