# Stake & Level up

At mint, you will have a choice, either mint or mint & stake. Staking your Deskhead will ensure you access to our Workspace. Our staking mechanism contains a novelty which is; instead of giving you tokens for staking, we are counting the staked time on-chain. This means, your NFT retains its cumulative staking level, even when transferred or unstaked.\
\
Let’s get a bit more technical here. Basically, our contract keeps track of the Cumulative Staking Time. The cumulative staking time stays the same. So, if you stake your NFT for 10 days, then unstake and sell it, when the new buyer stakes it, the cumulative staking time will continue counting from 10 days. This way, your NFT never loses its value.<br>

### Levels

In order to reach you would have to stake for a number of days. Here's the breakdown.

Level 1 - 7d\
Level 2 - 14d\
Level 3 - 28d\
Level 4 - 56d\
Level 5 - 112d\
Level 6 - 200d\
Level 7 - 250d\
Level 8 - 300d\
Level 9 - 365d<br>
