## KRIDA Staking FAQs

**Can I stake new tokens if I have already unstaked tokens earlier?**

Yes, you can stake new tokens.

**What happens if I unstake token before claiming my locked/unlocked staking tokens?**

If you unstake while there are some locked/unlocked tokens left to claim, you'll have to wait 7 days from the present moment to claim your original locked/unlocked tokens and newly unstaked amount combined. We would advise users to claim any locked/unlocked tokens first and then try to unstake.
