**Does Stader have any experience with staking?** 

We are a battle-tested team and have deployed smart contracts for staking on multiple blockchain platforms. You can read more about us on our website [here](https://staderlabs.com/).

**How does MATIC staking on Stader work?** 

A MATIC token holder connects their wallet on the [Stader Dapp](https://polygon.staderlabs.com/) and deposits tokens with our smart contract. They immediately receive the MATICX tokens representing their staked assets. As rewards for staking are added , the value of MATICX increases w\.r.t MATIC.

## 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://polygon.docs.staderlabs.com/polygon-staking-on-stader/stader-for-polygon.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.
