# Staking
Since the execution of [proposal #10](https://tornadocash.eth.limo/governance/10), an additional utility was enabled for the asset aside from governance. Through the deployment of the relayer registry, which acts as a official store of active relayers. This is then referenced on the frontend through referencing the registry contract. Relayers pay a percent of withdrawal fees to governance to have an active registration in the registry.
The fee mechanisim functions by relayers locking a listing amount (currently `300 TORN`) and everytime a withdrawal is processed the registry fee (currently `0.3%` of the relayer's arbitary fee) is deducted from their locked balance. This fee is then distributed proportionally to tokenholders locked into the governance contract. Relayers must keep a locked balance greater than the minimum balance (currently `40 TORN`) to be marked as an active relayer and be recommended on the frontend.
The listing amount, registry fee and minimum balance are all configurable by governance.
