# Solo $APE Staking

Following AIP-21, BAYC & MAYC users can commit their NFTs with $APE token and stake them to earn $APE.

This service is offered **free of charge** to all JPEG depositors.

BAYC and MAYC owners can use their NFTs on JPEG'd as collateral AND commit them to the $APE staking program. Bored Ape Yacht Club and Mutant Ape Yacht Club holders can additionally stake with ApeCoin and Bored Ape Kennel Club NFTs to earn more rewards from Yuga Labs.

JPEG'd supports the [BAYC](https://docs.apestake.io/#/?id=the-bayc-pool), [MAYC](https://docs.apestake.io/#/?id=the-mayc-pool) and [Paired BAKC](https://docs.apestake.io/#/?id=the-paired-pool-bakc) Pools

Exact details about the $APE staking program can be found here: <https://docs.apestake.io/#/>

## FAQs

### What happens if the position is liquidated?

In case of liquidation of a BAYC or MAYC while on staking in the APECoin program, the $APE tokens deposited, the rewards and the paired BAKC will get sent automatically back to the depositors. The former owner will stop earning rewards.

### What happens if I close my position before withdrawing?

When withdrawing a BAYC/MAYC from the JPEG'd vaults, after having repaid all debt, the $APE tokens deposited, the rewards and the paired BAKC will get sent automatically back to the depositors. Withdrawing from the vaults will also stops any more rewards from being earned.

### Can I earn both yield from the citadel AND the APECoin staking program?

### Pair and Manage BAKC

It is also possible to pair a BAKC to earn extra yield. BAKC need to be in the JPEG'd vault for this, so it is necessary to open positions with BAKCs before enabling Solo BAKC borrowing.

After opening positions with your BAKC, from the BAKC vault Click "Stake APE"
