# Flexible Staking

<mark style="background-color:orange;">**Flexible staking**</mark> allows for more flexibility: the **interest period** is fairly **shorter** and there’s an option to **unstake anytime**. The **APR** for the flexible staking plan in Walken is **6%** with the **interest period of 6 weeks***.* This means that *each 6 weeks of the staking period* will earn you a reward. *Please note that you may always check the **currently available staking plans** in the Walken application.*

> By initiating a stake you agree to stake your tokens for a **minimum of 6 weeks**; withdrawing the stake before the end of 6 weeks will incur **10% charge** with no staking reward earned.

Each consecutive interest period earns you an ***interest on the initial stake.***

After the minimum of 6 weeks is completed, you may unstake your principal and reward anytime.

> ***Mind the 6-week interest period though***: you will earn reward only for a **completed** period of 6 weeks.

*Say you decide to unstake after 20 weeks; the reward will be accrued only for 18 weeks — that is for 3 full interest periods.*

The **staking period** for the flexible staking plan is unlimited unless the ***liquidity pool limit is reached.** In this case your stake will be switched to another liquidity pool and you’ll keep getting rewarded for each interest period of full 6 weeks yet mind a possible change in APR.*

The reward for a flexible staking is redeemed together with the initial stake. Please note that the initial stake and reward earned will be credited to your wallet in single transaction. *Please note that APR is subject to change for Flexible Products upon starting a consecutive interest period.*
