# Token Benefits

Holding and staking AAA unlocks tangible benefits across the Arcadia protocol. The more you stake, the more you get.

## Staking AAA into stAAA

Most benefits require **stAAA**, the staked version of AAA. Staking is 1:1 — stake AAA to mint stAAA and start unlocking perks immediately. For full details on staking mechanics, see [Tokenomics](https://docs.arcadia.finance/governance/tokenomics).

Visit <https://arcadia.finance/aaa> to start staking.

## Rebalancer Quota

stAAA holders receive additional gas-sponsored rebalances for their concentrated liquidity positions. Every **3,000 stAAA** held grants **+1 extra rebalance per day**, with the weekly limit scaling proportionally.

| stAAA Held | Daily Limit | Weekly Limit |
| :--------: | :---------: | :----------: |
|      0     |      1      |       3      |
|    3,000   |      2      |      10      |
|    6,000   |      3      |      17      |
|    9,000   |      4      |      24      |
|   30,000   |      11     |      73      |

Without stAAA, users are limited to the base quota of 1 rebalance per day and 3 per week. For the full rebalancing logic and bypass conditions, see [Rebalancers](https://docs.arcadia.finance/protocol/asset-managers/rebalancers).

## Pay Gas with AAA

Exceeded your gas-sponsored quota? You can approve AAA tokens to the Gas Relayer to cover rebalancing gas costs directly. This effectively enables unlimited rebalancing for users willing to pay in AAA.

## Rewards

stAAA holders receive AAA emissions as staking rewards. Additional rewards are made available from time to time depending on certain campaigns.

## Governance

stAAA is the governance token of Arcadia. Holders can vote on proposals in the Arcadia DAO, shaping protocol parameters, fee structures, treasury allocations, and the product roadmap.
