# Opting Staking

![Flowchart](/files/KghugoL9IdsI2kXMj6H0)

The difference between single-asset and LP staking is that the goal of LP Staking is to improve the liquidity of a DeFi protocol, whereas single-asset staking underlines the importance of a blockchain network's security. 

The rewards in single-asset staking is based on Annual Percentage Yield (APY) whereas in LP staking the rewards are calculated in terms of amount of token staked and the liquidity of the pool.

#### Mandatory attricbutes

To get staking for your token, you'll need to give us with a few pieces of information so that our tech team can create a unique smart contract that meets your needs.

1. Single-asset staking: **total APY , rewardToken** (token to be rewarded), **stakeToken** (token to be staked), **contract owner address** (the address of the smart contract owner). 
2. LP staking: **rewardToken** (token to be rewarded), **stakeToken** (token to be staked), **contract owner address** (the smart contract owner's address), **totalReward** (total reward calculated according to the smart contract's formula), **startBlock** (block from which staking begins), **endBlock**  ( block at which the staking ends).

#### Optional attributes
