# Staking and DeFi

In addition to Liquidity options, Staking is allowed since the very early time of EXODE thanks to the introduction of a new concept with **Contract Cards**.\
\
Other very immersive staking options are planned with the option to **Stake Evacuation Fleets** and **alliance staking projects**.\
\
Some investment options include :\
\
\&#xNAN;**- EXOFUEL**, a currency with many uses in the world of EXODE.\
(planned for 2021)\
\
\&#xNAN;**- CONTRACT CARDS**, **an original implementation of staking, available since 2020.** \
\
\&#xNAN;*Current contracts are: Rekatron Weapon Drops, Tom Settler "We Are Premium Buddies", and Syndicate Sponsorship.*\
\
*Contracts drops new cards every week to whoever holds it. Their drops is part of a unique drop table, meaning these cards can't be found aside from this contract.*\
\
*They also can store up to 3 weeks of content, in case of absence!*\
\
\&#xNAN;**- EVACUATION FLEETS**, **a strategic bundle of ships and crew that a player creates and stakes in the world of 2325.** \
\
\&#xNAN;*Evacuation Fleets have a score depending on their profile and the mission you stake them against, and will give you various rewards including cards, currencies and account-wide benefits.*\
(planned for 2021)\
\
\&#xNAN;**- ALLIANCE FLEETS**, which expand the utility of individual fleets to alliance cooperation.\
(planned for 2021)\
\
\&#xNAN;**- STARBASE OWNERSHIP**, where you try to control a percentage of the total starbase, and can use it for governance and minting resources when players play there.\
(planned for 2022)\
