# Getting Started

- [Introduction to KTON](https://docs.kton.io/getting-started/01-introduction.md): What KTON is: liquid staking for Gram on TON, where KTON grows in value each round, and how the protocol is run.
- [How Staking Works (Deposit)](https://docs.kton.io/getting-started/02-staking-deposit.md): How staking Gram with KTON works: the deposit, the KTON you receive, the exchange rate and when rewards start.
- [How Unstaking Works (Withdrawal)](https://docs.kton.io/getting-started/03-unstaking-withdrawal.md): How unstaking KTON works: the queued withdrawal paid at a rotation, the instant option and its fee, and payout receipts.
- [Yield, Exchange Rate and Auto-Compounding](https://docs.kton.io/getting-started/04-yield-and-exchange-rate.md): How KTON yield works: the exchange rate, auto-compounding, why the rate changes each round and how APY is measured.
- [Fees](https://docs.kton.io/getting-started/05-fees.md): KTON fees: the 16% governance fee on staking rewards, the instant withdrawal fee, and the small flat fees for gas.
- [Security and Audits](https://docs.kton.io/getting-started/06-security-and-audits.md): KTON security: the TonBit audit and which version each pool runs, the 3-of-4 multisig roles, pauses and the risks of staking.
