# PADD Reward

## $PADD Staking

Similar to APE staking, Paddle allows holders of $PADD tokens to actively utilize their idle tokens. By staking them in the $PADD staking pool, holders can earn additional rewards in the form of more $PADD tokens. The rewards are distributed in real time based on the Pool Rewards and Total Pool Size. There are no lock up periods, so you can add and remove $PADD to the pool at any given time.

You can get yourself familiar with the staking mechanism at <https://apestake.io/>.&#x20;

## **Seasonal Reward Distribution**

Paddle rewards users who contribute to liquidity and actively engage with the platform by distributing **$PADD tokens**. This incentivizes continuous loan offerings, maintains sufficient liquidity, and drives product usage.

**Seasonal rewards will be distributed to:**

* Users earning points through **P2P Lending** and **OTC trades**
* **Trade Battle depositors**
* **Trade Battle leaderboard winners**
* **NFT Instant Loan suppliers** who contribute to the cash-side TVL
* **NFT Instant Loan borrowers** who contribute to the NFT-side TVL

Further details will be announced before TGE.
