# Staking Mechanics

#### How sFF Works

When you stake FF tokens, you receive sFF in return at a 1:1 ratio. Your sFF represents your staked position and accrues value over time through yield distribution.

The staking mechanism operates as follows:

1. **Stake FF**: stake $FF through the protocol via <https://app.falcon.finance/earn/classic>
2. **Receive sFF**: Mint sFF tokens representing your staked position
3. **Accrue Yield**: Earn yield distributed in $FF based on protocol performance
4. **Earn Miles**: Accumulate Falcon Miles with boosted multipliers
5. **Unstake Anytime**: Convert sFF back to FF. Please do note that a 3-day cooldown period applies for users wishing to unstake.

#### Unstaking Process

sFF features **unstaking** with a &#x33;**-day cooldown period**. This means:

* You can initiate the conversion from sFF to FF at any time. Once initiated, your FF becomes claimable after a 3-day cooldown period. During this cooldown, your tokens do not accrue yield.
* Unstaking does not affect any yield you've already earned
* Unstaking is processed immediately upon transaction confirmation

## 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.falcon.finance/~/revisions/zoG40VQk1Wr5zQ5uwjmT/sff-token/staking-mechanics.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.
