# Pools

Pools are places for BUTTER holders to stake and earn.

You can earn BUTTER by staking in the first BUTTER pool, but you need to harvest and compound manually.

You can earn BUTTER without worrying about harvesting and compounding in the [Auto BUTTER Pool](/products/pools/auto-butter-pools.md), in which the earning are automagically harvested and restaked.

You can also participate in community [LP Pools](/products/pools/lp-pools.md), where you stake LP tokens to earn various partner tokens.

Additional single token staking pools may also be available, where you can stake one token and earn another token for free.

{% hint style="success" %}
All the pools are lossless staking pools, meaning that everything you staked has no risk of loss and will be returned to you in full when unstaking.
{% endhint %}
