# Staking SLAY

## Overview

Staking SLAY allows users to contribute directly to the security and stability of the SatLayer ecosystem. By staking your tokens, you help strengthen the protocol’s foundation while earning rewards that reflect both the amount of SLAY staked and the duration of participation.

Staking is designed to be accessible and transparent, ensuring that users are consistently aligned with the long-term health of SatLayer.

## Rewards

Stakers in [The SLAYERS campaign](/slay/staking-slay/current-campaigns/the-slayers.md) is currently active. earn dynamic APR rewards, which scale based on staking activity.

## Liquid Staked SLAY Token (satSLAY)

When users stake SLAY, they receive satSLAY in return. satSLAY serves as a liquid, tokenized representation of the staked position. It is required for withdrawing SLAY back from the vault and provides proof of ownership over the staked assets. satSLAY enables flexibility for participants by making their staked position portable and verifiable across applications that integrate with SatLayer.
