# $IFO usage

## Using $IFO to Accelerate the Release of Staked Income

Users can unstake their $TIFO principal at any time, and either sell it or stake it again. The income from staking will be gradually released, with the release speed determined by the user's contribution value of $IFO. If the user wants to increase the release speed, they can destroy a corresponding amount of $IFO, which will be recycled into the DAO contract. The amount of $IFO required for different release speeds is shown in the table below:

| $IFO CONSUMPTION                 | RELEASE SPEED(days) |
| -------------------------------- | ------------------- |
| 0                                | 180                 |
| Staked proceeds worth 5% of IFO  | 150                 |
| Staked proceeds worth 10% of IFO | 120                 |
| Staked proceeds worth 15% of IFO | 90                  |
| Staked proceeds worth 20% of IFO | 60                  |
| Staked proceeds worth 25% of IFO | 45                  |
| Staked proceeds worth 30% of IFO | 30                  |

## Using $IFO to Boost APR of Staking Income

The $IFO token can be used to increase the annualized rate of return on the single currency staking income of TIFO. 

By using $IFO valued at 5% of the staked amount, the yield can be increased to a medium level, while using $IFO valued at 20% of the staked amount can increase the income to the highest rate of return.

Overall, $IFO serves as an important tool for users to customize their staking experience and optimize their returns. By using $IFO to accelerate the release of staked income or boost the APR of staking income, users can tailor their investment strategy to their individual needs and goals.
