# ORX Fee Sharing Pool (ORX Staking)

## ORX Staking

<figure><img src="/files/ohJSyqNxJg2GCeBeVhlQ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

All of the revenue USDx makes is diverted to ORX stakers. By staking ORX you are entitled to a pro-rata share of all fees.  To start staking all you need to do is deposit your ORX tokens to the ORX staking contract. Once done you will start earning a pro-rata share of the borrowing and redemption fees in USDx and all Collateral types supported by the protocol.  Your ORX stake will earn a share of the fees equal to your share of the total ORX staked, at the instant the fee occurred.

### Is there a lock-up period? <a href="#is-there-a-lock-up-period" id="is-there-a-lock-up-period"></a>

No, you can withdraw your staked funds at any time.

### Are staked ORX tokens used for protocol bailouts (like in Maker) or for governance? <a href="#are-staked-lqty-tokens-used-to-backstop-the-system-like-maker-or-for-governance" id="are-staked-lqty-tokens-used-to-backstop-the-system-like-maker-or-for-governance"></a>

No, staked ORX are not used to backstop USDx, and are not used for governance as there is no USDx governance layer **(yet)**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ouroboros.foundation/ouroboros-products/usdx-stablecoin/orx-fee-sharing-pool-orx-staking.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
