# Staking & Renting ### Apartment Staking NFT Staking is a planned feature in the Ethereum Worlds Metaverse. Ethereum Towers Apartment holders may be able to stake their Apartment NFTs via the Metaverse Companion App. This staking mechanic is planned to be handled exclusively via the Ethereum Worlds Metaverse Companion App, in one easy to use dashboard. ### Apartment Renting As part of a future mechanic, Ethereum Towers plans to implement an Apartment rental system that will make it possible for residents to rent out their Apartments, while also providing visitors with an opportunity to be a part of the ecosystem. This rental system will provide a lower barrier to entry for non-residents enabling them to participate in the environment as if they were an Apartment owner. There will be a number of mechanics put in place to ensure that the wider in-world experience is not negatively impacted by this. These mechanics could be, but are not limited to: * Limiting the number of rentable Apartments * Limiting non-resident actions in a rented Apartment (e.g. disabling 'build' mode) * Ensuring Apartments can't be listed or sold while rented out to another user {% hint style="warning" %} **ATTENTION:** Both the NFT staking and renting mechanics will not be accessible during the MVP launch. Instead, these mechanics will undergo exploration, be assessed for potential implementation, and are NOT guaranteed at this stage. {% endhint %} {% hint style="warning" %} **PLEASE READ:** If implemented, both the NFT staking and renting mechanics will only be available to holders in compliance with local regulations and guidelines set forth by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). All holders must adhere to applicable laws and SEC regulations governing NFT staking activities. {% endhint %} --- # 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.
