# Staking in the Insurance Pool

The [Insurance Pool](https://resupply.fi/insurance-pool) allows users to deposit reUSD and contribute to the protocol’s safety by accepting a share of protocol risk. In return, users receive a share of protocol revenue and RSUP rewards as compensation for their participation.

#### Key Features of the Insurance Pool

**Risk & Reward Mechanism:**

* Users stake reUSD to help secure the protocol.
* In exchange, they earn protocol revenue and RSUP tokens.
* Participants accept a portion of the protocol’s risk by providing capital.
* ReUSD may be converted to crvUSD or frxUSD during liquidations.<br>

**vAPR Display:**

* Displays the current reward rate, indicating how much yield stakers can expect.

#### How to Stake reUSD

1. Enter the desired amount of reUSD to stake.
2. Click **"Approve"** to allow the transaction.
3. Once approved, click **"Stake"** to deposit funds into the Insurance Pool.
4. Users can also click **"Max"** to stake the entire available balance.

#### Unstaking & Cooldown Period

* Unstaking is a two-step process:

1. Initiate unstaking triggers a **7-day cooldown.**
2. While in cooldown, you won’t receive RSUP tokens or be able to withdraw. However, you will still receive reUSD rewards.
3. After the cooldown period, users can fully **withdraw their reUSD.**

Users must navigate to the **"Unstake"** tab to complete the process.
