# Staking Power Staking Power starts to accumulate right in the moment a participant locks up a particular token amount. After a period of seven days, a user can claim it to utilize it when participating in IDO events. An instance of Staking Power is calculated by multiplying the amount staked by boosters earned. {% hint style="info" %} *When a user stakes 100 LIFT tokens and gets 1% booster, they become eligible for 100 \* (100% + 1%) = 101 Staking Power after keeping the tokens staked for **7 days**.* {% endhint %} Staking Power is burned when a person unstakes their stake. An instance of Staking Power amounts to a particular number of lottery tickets, therefore the more Staking Power a participant has — the higher are their chances to get more lottery tickets. Consequently, the more lottery tickets they receive — the greater is the likelihood of them getting the desired IDO’s allocation. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
