# Staking Gauges The Staking Gauge aims to incentivize users to hold Carbon on-chain rather than off chain. By rewarding governance to early adopters and hold carbon, we create stickiness and a lindy effect. This adds an additional use-case to carbon tokens, and provides a supply sink for people to place their holdings without adding additional volatility onto the carbon asset. The following carbon tokens will be incentivized when the C3 Staking Gauge is live: * **UBO** * **NBO** * **wsKLIMA** Future carbon tokens, C3 or non-C3 carbon tokens, can be incentivized in the future. For carbon tokens that do not originate from C3, they will have to go through a governance proposal in order to be added to the gauge. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
