# Staking, Voting, and Redemption

#### 3.1 Staking for Voting Shares

\
On the Solana network, members log in with their rSPD-holding wallets and stake their rSPD. For every **1 rSPD staked, members receive 1 voting** share to participate in any active DAO proposals.

#### 3.2 rSPD Redemption

\
  After voting on a proposal, community members can **unlock their staked rSPD at any tim**e, with the option to cancel the unlock if desired. Please note that once unlocked, rSPD can only be redeemed to the wallet address after a **7-day** waiting period.
