# Staking and Allocating

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Obtain `OOGA`

Through markets or otherwise.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Stake `OOGA`

Stake `OOGA` through the staking page to recieve `sOOGA`.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Allocate `sOOGA`

Allocate `sOOGA` to an allocation module such as the rewards or governance module to start earning that vault's benefits.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

`OOGA` must be staked into `sOOGA` first before being able to do anything with it. After staking into `sOOGA`, an allocation module can be chosen to receive the relevant benefits associated with it.

### `OOGA` to `sOOGA`

`OOGA` can be staked to receive `sOOGA`, and the conversion is 1:1.

{% hint style="info" %}
Staking 1,000 OOGA will return 1,000 sOOGA.
{% endhint %}

### `sOOGA` to `OOGA`

Conversion times represent the period required for `sOOGA` to fully convert into `OOGA`. Redeeming before the full conversion time results in a conversion tax, which decreases linearly as the conversion progresses towards the maximum.

On Berachain bArtio testnet, the minimum and maximum conversion times are set to 3 days and 7 days. 

On Berachain mainnet, the minimum and maximum conversion times will differ significantly. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Selecting the minimum conversion time (3 days on bArtio), and unstaking 1,000 `sOOGA` will return 500 `OOGA` after 3 days.\
\
Selecting the maximum conversion time (7 days on bArtio) and unstaking 1,000 `sOOGA` will return 1,000 `OOGA` after 7 days.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
All `OOGA` collected from the conversion taxes will be burned and permanently removed from circulation.  
{% endhint %}
