*CrocBot is a protocol allowing farming popular airdrops backed by a team of sybil experts. We’re offering “Swarms”, a powerful tool to deploy thousands of addresses to farm according to your own strategy. If you want to know more about CROC staking, read this article:* <https://medium.com/@CrocBot/announcing-xcroc-crocbot-revenue-sharing-specs-f18d5fe1215e>

The first thing to know is that 10k $CROC “unlocks” the right to obtain a farming address for airdrops. Swarms are still in development but are set to go live in the coming weeks!

⚠️ CROC rewards are based on fees earned with protocol taxes, rewards distribution occurs when the redistribution contract reaches 1 ETH (therefore, the timing of the rewards can't be anticipated). The APY displayed is calculated based on 90 rolling days of volume.

## Step 1: How to buy $CROC? <a href="#id-200f" id="id-200f"></a>

It’s quite simple. Just go to <https://app.uniswap.org/> and swap a few ETH for $CROC.\
With the example below, we’re going to get 24 farming addresses available.

## Step 2: How to stake my $CROC ? <a href="#id-800e" id="id-800e"></a>

Staking is the step that officially entitles you to farm these 24 farming addresses. It’s a mandatory step. Simply holding $CROC is not enough to be eligible. *Unstaking is instantaneous and there is no locking period.*

Simply go to the CrocBot dashboard and follow these steps: <https://dashboard.crocbot.farm/>

## Step 3: What about LP? <a href="#e4a6" id="e4a6"></a>

If you want to go with LP staking, you can also LP your CROC with ETH to stake the LP and earn from the LP staking APY.

go to <https://app.uniswap.org/> and **Click** on *Pools*

You can stake your LP the same way that you stake the CROC to start earning rewards. You can stake LP on the CrocBot dashboard and redeem your rewards there as well.\ <br>
