# Staking MTA

## Understanding MTA Staking

The primary function of staking MTA is to allow users to participate in mStable's decentralised governance. Users choose to deposit MTA into the staking contract, and in return will receive voting power, MTA rewards, and boosted rewards on deposits in mStable's Save and Feeder Pool Vaults.

Once users deposit funds into the staking contract and start voting on proposals, they become an mStable Governor.

### Benefits of staking MTA

* Participate in decentralized governance with rights to vote
* Apply boosts to yields on mStable app including Save and Pools
* Earn a pro-rata share of monthly staking rewards
* Take part in Quests to multiply MTA rewards and receive other benefits
