# LPs staking

<figure><img src="/files/ge5gv0NHOxx3hTu9loc3" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Convergence allows liquidity providers from various protocols, such as Curve and Balancer, to stake their LP tokens (**`LPs`**), and benefit from boosted earnings.&#x20;

In addition to each protocol native rewards, already boosted by Stake DAO (boosted **`CRV`** rewards for Curve for example), **`LPs`** stakers earn boosted **`SDT`** rewards. **`LPs`** stakers also earn **`CVG`** rewards on top, according to gauge weights.

Certain staking pools may also benefit from additional rewards as a boost, via the treasury's bootstrapping module.

{% hint style="success" %}
To summarize, for each **`LP`**, stakers can claim:

* Underlying protocol boosted rewards (i.e. **`CRV`** for Curve **`LPs`**, **`BAL`** for Balancer **`LPs`** etc);
* Boosted **`SDT`** rewards;
* **`CVG`** rewards according to gauge weights.
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Convergence allows users to deposit native **`LPs`** tokens, or Stake DAO's gauge receipt tokens in its **`LPs`** staking contracts.&#x20;

Users who are already staking on Stake DAO don't need to withdraw to redeposit on Convergence, as they can directly deposit their Stake DAO gauge receipt.
