# Earning Module ## $STAR Earning In Starminers, users can earn $STAR tokens by staking their Starships. The amount of $STAR earned will depend on the user's specific strategy and the attributes of their staked Starship. There are **three possible actions** in this module, and each has a cost in the form of a fee that represents a tip for the development team. For more details refer to the [**Tokenomic**](/starminers-whitepaper/tokenomic.md) section. **STAKE:** send your Starship to the staking instance. Technically, the 'ship is in a "freeze" state, which prevents any exchange action with other wallets. **CLAIM:** collect the currently available amount of $STAR in the cargo of the targeted Starship. **UNSTAKE**: remove the Starship from the staking instance, remove its "freeze" state to make exchanges and upgrades available again. At the same time, this action also allows you to collect the currently available amount of $STAR in the cargo of the respective NFT. \ In short -------- $STAR earnings depend on 2 main attributes factors : * **Power** - $STAR earnings vary in function of the level your power attribute. * **Speed -** increases STAR earnings per minute. **Refer to the next section for a full breakdown.** {% content-ref url="/pages/BZeYXWn2QafHsQaBX5ry" %} [Earning Mechanics](/starminers-whitepaper/earning-module/earning-mechanics.md) {% endcontent-ref %} --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
