CHEEZ that is purchased via bonding will vest linearly over a 5 day period. ## Staking CHEEZ can be staked for a variable APY in the form of rebasing. Users exchange CHEEZ for sCHEEZ, which rebases every 8 hours, providing an option to earn yield that automatically compounds at no extra gas cost. ## Staking warmups In order to prevent malicious users from gaming the rebase, we have imposed a two rebase warmup period, wherein your cheez is staked and locked, still earning yield. After this period is over, you can add your warmup to your staked balance. A user can forfeit their rewards to exit the warmup period early, but they will only receive their initial deposit of cheez back. ## How to Buy Cheese Directly CHEEZ can be bought on either the open market through the CHEEZ/DAI liquidity pool on SushiSwap, or by buying CHEEZ directly from the protocol through bonding. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.cheese.game/components/cheez-token.md?ask=&goal= ``` `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.
