# Staking and Liquidity Providing Rewards

## Vesting Pool and Staking Pool <a href="#e9cf" id="e9cf"></a>

Liquidity providers receive PRB rewards that vest for 3 months. Rewards can be claimed before the end of the vesting period but are subject to a 50% early exit penalty.

PRB from the early exit penalty is distributed to the users with locked PRBs in the staking pool. The most loyal PRB holders will stand to gain the maximum benefit upon conclusion of the selected locking period.

The users with locked PRBs in the staking pool receives trading fees as well as the PRB penalty revenue from people who exit the vesting PRB pool early (before the end of the 3 month vesting). The users with staked PRBs in the staking pool receives trading fees only, but it has no mandatory lock-up.

## 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://parabolafi.gitbook.io/parabola/introduction/staking-and-liquidity-providing-rewards.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.
