# Stake Snapshot and Fairness

When balances are read and how we avoid games

Our staking will use end-of-epoch snapshots so rewards are based on what you actually had staked when the period closes. The longer and steadier you keep $**ORG** staked, the stronger your eligible boost becomes but tokens stay withdrawable at any time, so you’re never locked.

**Staking Snapshots**

* Snapshot taken at the end of each epoch
* Unstaking inside the epoch does not remove past boosts
* Moving in and out to game the boost can be slashed by vote
