# Using Safeboxes

**Setting the Locking Period**\
When creating a Safebox, you set the locking periods incrementally based on your needs. For instance, short periods work for auctions while longer ones is more suited for improving personal liquidity.

**Understanding the Reserve Ratio**\
The staking requirement fluctuates based on the reserve ratio - the number of Vault NFTs divided by total NFTs overseen. High ratios imply robust redemption reserves. Below a threshold, the staking requirement rises to maintain token stability.

**Benefits of Staking Ample $FLC**\
Staking ample $FLC allows reserving lengthier periods. Large holders gain flexibility in renewing keys, avoiding low ratio periods.

**VIP Levels and Safebox Durations**\
Your VIP tier determines the max Safebox duration. The top tier accesses the coveted infinite variant - no expiry, catering to the most loyal collectors.

Lastly, the correlation between the reserve ratio and the required staking amount is depicted below:

| Reserve Ratio | $FLC Staking for Extra Day |
| ------------- | -------------------------- |
| ≥ 60%         | 400                        |
| < 60%         | 440                        |

| < 24%         | 1840                       |
| < 22%         | 2000                       |
| < 20%         | 2320                       |
| < 18%         | 2640                       |

| < 4%          | 57600                      |
| < 2%          | 115200                     |

This table highlights that the staking requirement stays constant at 2000 $FLC until the reserve ratio reaches 60%. From this point onwards, the requirement escalates progressively as the reserve ratio increases.
