# Staking
Staking is the gateway to unlocking deeper access and greater rewards in the STR8FIRE ecosystem. By staking [**$STRF**](/str8fire/ecosystem/usdstrf.md), users generate yield, contribute to network strength, and gain the [**STR8 Power**](/str8fire/ecosystem/str8pad/tier-system.md#str8-power) needed to progress through the [**Tier System** ](/str8fire/ecosystem/str8pad/tier-system.md)— the key to larger investment opportunities and exclusive platform benefits.
STR8FIRE offers multiple staking pools with varied lock-up terms and competitive APRs. The longer you commit, the higher the reward — both in direct yield and [**STR8 Power**](/str8fire/ecosystem/str8pad/tier-system.md#str8-power) accumulation.
### OG Pass - STR8FIRE's Genesis NFT
The **OG Pass** is STR8FIRE's **Genesis NFT collection** that offers enhanced staking efficiency. By simply holding the OG Pass in your wallet while staking, you receive a boost that helps you [**climb tiers**](/str8fire/ecosystem/str8pad/tier-system.md) faster. This does not affect APR but enhances [**STR8 Power**](/str8fire/ecosystem/str8pad/tier-system.md#str8-power) accumulation.
