# Apply for a Staking Pool

Projects interested in launching a staking program on the NOXCAT Staking System may apply to become an integrated staking partner.

Approved projects receive access to the staking infrastructure while maintaining ownership of their own token economics and governance.

Applications are evaluated based on factors including:

* Project legitimacy and security
* Token utility and economic sustainability
* Community engagement
* Long-term ecosystem alignment
* Smart contract and technical readiness

The goal is to create a diverse network of high-quality ecosystems sharing a common staking infrastructure while preserving the independence of each participating project.
