# Multi-Tier Staking

To reward long-term holders who have shown loyalty and made a significant contribution to the development of the product, the platform has created a special Rewards pool. In order to become a participant in the rewards program, a user must lock CITRO tokens in the specific pool.

Participation in the rewards program offers token holders the following benefits:

* Reward in CITRO Tokens
* Referral Rewards Boosts
* Access to Advanced Features

Staking program rewards are distributed from the Community rewards allocation.
