# $APE Staking FAQs

#### Are there fees for staking $APE on JPEG'd?

$APE Staking on JPEG'd is free and has 0 fees, both for Solo staking and P2P staking for both NFT and $APE providers

#### Is there a minimum amount of $APE to take part in a pool?

JPEG'd APE Staking allows partial filling in BAYC/MAYC/BAKC pools. This means all users of any size can join any of the pools.

#### Is it possible to compound rewards?

It is possible to manually compound rewards for multiple positions at a time.

#### How much gas does the staking, unstaking, pairing and compounding cost?

The contracts have been optimized to the max, resulting in cheap listing, staking and claiming transactions. Internal tests have shown it to be one of the most efficient APE co-staking platforms out there. Costs of course depend on gas prices.

#### Can I list my BAYC/MAYC/BAKC while using it as collateral to borrow pETH/PUSd?

Yes. This let's you also profit from the JPEG'd citadel and add extra ETH yield on top of the APE Staking, and thus maximizing the value of your NFT.

## 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.jpegd.io/jpegd-dao/cdp-lending-guides/get-yield-on-jpegd/usdapecoin-staking-on-jpegd/usdape-staking-faqs.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.
