### Staking

Our staking system allows you to stake NFTs, ICP, ckBTC and ckETH. In essence, our staking allows nominators to support Mushroom Protocol and receive rewards.

### Vaults

Mushroom Protocol will offer Vaults corresponding to each research area (HealthTech, AgroTech, FoodTech, MiningTech, GreenTech), which group the different tokenized startups within each of these industries.

Users can invest their cryptoassets in these indices. By doing so they will receive rewards according to the performance of each industry.

#### **Benefits**

**For users:** Investors can support a research area that affects them directly, such as something related to the environment or a specific disease. Users will also be able to earn "medals" representing their investment history (SoulBound Token), providing further gamification to the system. Factors such as how many tokens are locked, for how long and which ones, there will be different APRs.

**For Researchers:** This staking provides researchers with basic income while they work on their projects, which attracts new scientists to the ecosystem and fosters innovation.

### Metaverse

The Mushroom Protocol Metaverse will allow users to interact in a virtual world, which will offer the community numerous opportunities to grow, interact, innovate and generate additional revenue.

Scientists will also have a space to disseminate their work and the value of their research, as well as interact with people from all over the world, such as science enthusiasts, students, potential users of their solutions and anyone on the Web3.

All this, to further our mission of tokenizing scientific research.
