# Comparison of Vesting/Staking/Locking ADDY

{% hint style="info" %}
Freshly minted ADDY is considered to be [vesting ](/adamant-finance/guides/staking-lp-tokens-to-earn-addy.md#claiming-vested-addy-to-receive-vault-performance-fees)until the 90 day vesting duration expires or it is withdrawn from the fee distribution contract.
{% endhint %}

|                                    | Vesting | Staking | Locking                |
| ---------------------------------- | ------- | ------- | ---------------------- |
| Lock duration                      | 90 days | None    | 91 days - 4 years      |
| Earn performance fees              | Yes     | Yes     | Yes                    |
| Earn early withdrawal penalty fees | No      | No      | Yes                    |
| Early withdrawal penalty           | 50%     | None    | Cannot withdraw at all |

Vesting, Staked, and Locked ADDY all earn the same % of performance fees. 

This means that 1 vesting or staked ADDY will earn the same % of the performance fee as 1 locked ADDY.
