# Staking Schedule

The staking model utilizes a monthly lock up and payout structure. Here is the schedule for the staking model.

<table><thead><tr><th> </th><th> </th><th data-hidden></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Monthly Schedule</td><td>30 day month</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Day 1 - 5</td><td>Staking pool opens</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Day 6</td><td>Staking pool closes</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Day 6 – Day 29</td><td>Month 1 Lock-up</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Day 30</td><td>Month 1 Rewards Payout</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

To ensure fairness and no exploiting, you must opt to stake per the above schedule’s windows, or you will be required to wait until the next month. Staking will be implemented after the full platform launch to give time for users to earn FDXD.
