# Bus Staking Pool

## Protocol earned rewards

When people play the game, advance rounds, and take winnings, the protocol treasury generates a percentage of rewards.

These funds are distributed to [*Bus*](/project-tokens/bus.md) holders in various ways: 

* The first of which, and most common, is the *Bus Staking Pool,* only available to bus owners.
  * A *Bus* owner can own and stake multiple *Busses*

{% hint style="warning" %}
Bus Staking Pool will not be deployed until the [Buses are minted](https://docs.ridethebus.xyz/project-tokens/bus#initial-mint).
{% endhint %}
