# How Does Hipo Work?
1. **Stake GRAM**\
Deposit your GRAM into Hipo to start earning the highest staking rewards in the TON ecosystem.
2. **Get Liquid hGRAM**\
Receive hGRAM, a liquid token that represents your staked GRAM. Its value increases as [staking rewards](https://app.hipo.finance/#/page=reward/) accumulate, and you can use it across [DeFi](https://app.hipo.finance/#/page=defi/).
3. **Unstake Anytime**\
Swap your hGRAM back to GRAM at any time and receive your original stake plus all accumulated rewards.
{% hint style="info" %}
💡 *Your staked GRAM is delegated to validators through the Hipo smart contract to participate in validation rounds and generate staking rewards.*
