Staking with your Noses should not be seen as earning passive income, but as being **rewarded for your prolonged support** and loyalty to the project and the team. The $SNIFF token is **first and foremost a social/utility token**, and **providing liquidity** to the token is the **last thing on our to-do list**. Any value that comes to the token should come from the organic perception of the token and be determined by the free market, via the Famous Token Market. {% hint style="info" %} **BUIDL:** As much as we'd like to build our own tools, we do not want to reinvent the wheel if we do not need to. For staking, [@\_ilmoi](https://twitter.com/_ilmoi) already did a great job *buidling* [**Gem Farm**](https://github.com/gemworks/gem-farm), which fits our use-case and is completely open-sourced. {% endhint %} ## Sniffing (aka Staking) :cut\_of\_meat: We will be using [**Gem Farm**](https://github.com/gemworks/gem-farm), with a customised self-hosted UI. ![](https://3662045997-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FrzA5LV7VnrKHudzk3m5d%2Fuploads%2F2NO7zTaysQQG56ahVeXb%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=302a2a93-dad6-4eb4-a976-5784c16d67ed) #### Rewarding Conviction and Consistency The longer uninterrupted periods you stake, the more $SNIFF you get. ### Potential features to be built on top: {% hint style="warning" %} **Faction Sniffing Competitions**: The faction with the highest number of Noses staked will win something. {% endhint %}
