# Staking: Merlin’s Seal (Already Concluded)

On February 8, 2024, Merlin Chain announced the launch of the staking rewards event, Merlin's Seal. Users can earn M points by staking assets and receive a series of cumulative rewards.

### **Staking Rewards**

1. **20% of Total MERL Supply:** 20% of the total supply of Merlin Chain's governance token, MERL, is allocated for distribution to early users who participate in Merlin’s Seal asset staking. This is the highest proportion of staking rewards relative to total supply among all Layer2 projects.
2. **ETH Staking Returns:** Users who stake ETH through the StakeStone event can earn native staking returns.
3. **Liquidity Incentives:** Users who stake tokens and provide liquidity for MerlinSwap will receive additional incentives in the form of airdropped MerlinSwap tokens (MP).
4. **DeFi Yields:** M-BTC, exchanged by staking Layer1 assets, can interact with Merlin Eco projects and partners such as Solv Protocol, Avalon Finance, Mage Finance, Babylon, and StakeStone to earn additional staking returns.

## 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://docs.merlinchain.io/merlin-docs/user-quick-start/how-to/staking-and-unstaking/staking-merlins-seal-already-concluded.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.
