# LRC Staking

LRC staking has been newly released which enables users to lock their $LRC for a time period and gain protocol fees.

Protocol fees are the fees associated with every transaction in the Loopring ecosystem.

LRC Staking is one of the features where users can enjoy a share of these protocol fees!

**Did you know?**

Staking LRC is a <mark style="color:blue;">risk-free</mark> investment! Your locked assets can always be withdrawn at any time.&#x20;

Once the assets are withdrawn, the accrued rewards will be sent back to the protocol fee pool and redistributed to the remaining stakers.
