# Locking $DOB

Locking `$DOB` is the key to making the most profits within the DeOrderBook ecosystem. Users should ensure they regularly claim the `$DOB` rewards earned from making DeOrders while also locking them back in as often as possible.

### What rewards can I earn from locking $DOB?

Locking `$DOB` provides two types of rewards to [NFT holders](/gerege-nft-program/dual-tier-nfts-silver-and-gold.md) on the `$DOB` ecosystem:

* a share of protocol fee revenue, paid out in[ HODL](/hodl/explaining-hodl.md) tokens
* a share of [BULLET ](/sniper-and-bullet/explaining-sniper-and-bullet.md#what-are-bullet-tokens)tokens collected from daily generated DeOrders, exclusively awarded to [Gold Gerege NFT ](/gerege-nft-program/gerege-gold.md)holders

**Protocol Revenue-sharing**

50% of all fees generated by the platform are distributed back to users via a revenue-sharing scheme paid out in HODL tokens. Paying out rewards in HODL, which is directly redeemable for supported cryptocurrencies such as `$USDC` and `$wBTC`, ensures that DeOrderBook remains Ponzinomics-free while its users enjoy earning real yield.

Rewards can be manually claimed on the [Claim & Exercise page](/dob-website/claim-and-exercise.md) .

**BULLET token share**

Whenever a DeOrder is placed using HODL tokens, a matching amount of [SNIPER and BULLET](https://github.com/DeOrderBook/deorderbook-docs/blob/main/usddob/broken-reference/README.md) tokens are generated. While the SNIPER tokens are placed in the DeOrder pool and start earning `$DOB` rewards, the BULLET tokens are sent to the Treasury.

20% of BULLET tokens generated daily are kept by the Treasury as fees, while the remaining 80% are redistributed back to eligible $DOB lockers via a daily [BULLET Raffle](/sniper-and-bullet/bullet-raffle.md).

### How long is my $DOB locked for?

`$DOB` is locked for a 30-day period.
