# Staking LP tokens into the gauge

To be able to earn weekly VOLT emissions, users will have to stake the LP tokens they received after adding liquidity.

**IMPORTANT – Lockers can attach a veVOLT NFT to gauges to receive a boosted reward rate on deployed liquidity.** 

Attaching a NFT to a gauge will provide a reward boost on deposits in the corresponding liquidity pool. 

The reward boost is subject to a variable rate that depends on several factors including;

* Current price of tokens, 
* Token boosted APR, 
* VOLT locked in your veVOLT, 
* % of TVL using veVOLT, and 
* Total gauge TVL.

When a user stakes LP tokens for the first time, the user has to undergo **2 approvals**; 

1. Approve spend of LP Token by Voltswap smart contract 
2. Stake LP tokens in the gauge to earn weekly VOLT emissions
