# Stake XPR (Flexible)

XPR staking uses a **flexible staking model** designed to help secure the XPR Network.

#### How XPR Staking Works

* XPR can be staked without a fixed end date
* Rewards accrue continuously and are paid in XPR
* Stakers must vote for Block Producers
* Unstaking requires a short 24 hour unlock period

#### Key Features

* **Term:** Flexible
* **APR:** Variable
* **Unstaking:** Available at any time after a 24-hour unlock
* **Block Producers:** Minimum of 4 must be selected

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.metalx.com/staking/staking-on-metal-x/stake-xpr-flexible.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
