# Staking & Rewards Flexible & Locked Pools · NFT Boost · Auto-Compound Stake $KITTY to earn passive rewards paid in $KITTY. The staking contract is funded by the game rewards and treasury allocation. You can choose between flexible (unstake anytime) or locked staking (higher APY, fixed duration). ### Staking Pools | Pool | Lock Period | Base APY | NFT Boost | | ------------ | ----------- | -------- | --------- | | Kitten Pool | Flexible | 45% | +25% | | Cat Pool | 30 Days | 85% | +25% | | Big Cat Pool | 90 Days | 150% | +25% | | Diamond Paws | 180 Days | 250% | +25% | | | | | | **Auto-Compound:** The staking contract auto-compounds every 24 hours. You don't need to manually claim — rewards are reinvested automatically unless you opt out. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
