Understanding this mechanism is important. First, as far as we know, it is a first. We’re tying together the staking of a cryptocurrency with a value-creating activity in the Snook DApp. Why is that interesting or good? Well, you can think of the amount staked by the owners of the BBT-TR as an Earnest Money deposit that can be redeemed at the will of the user (under the terms of the contract). The BBT-TR requires SNK stake to be kept for the BBT-TR to be available. That means that the staking is not only a vote of confidence in the $SNK as a cryptocurrency at the time of the deposit. It is ongoing. As long as people like to play and are using the BBT-TR, they will not touch that deposit. In fact, every time they decide to keep it and not redeem it, they are doing so by comparing the value that they get out of the game with the potential profit they can realize by redeeming the stake and selling the $SNK. You are starting to see why this simple feature has so much potential? --- # 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://whitepaper.playsnook.com/economy-overview/snk-cash-flow-analysis/snk-inflow/activity-tied-staking.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.
