# Governance Mining

### Staking your KDX

Staking your KDX on eckoDEX unlocks the DAO participation for the user and is simple to do. In this guide, we will walk you through the process of staking KDX, through which you can accrue voting power based on a function of time and your staked amount to participate in governance.

When you participate in the DAO, 0.05% of the accrued from the protocol swapping fees are distributed evenly across stakers to incentivize participation in governance and to accrue voting power.

Let's begin by navigating to the [`staking`](https://devnet.swap.kaddex.com/stake) section of eckoDEX. Here you will see:

1. Your current position
2. Total rewards, and reward unlock time
3. Analytics covering your % of total staked share, total volume of eckoDEX, and your APR
4. Your position on the voting curve, and the total amount of voting power you have.

You will now see your recently staked KDX added to the interface. This page will regularly update with new data regarding the APR, Volume, Voting Power, and Staked Share.
