# Earning Royalties

The first IP RWA token on Aria Protocol, is the $APL token. To earn royalties, you’ll need to stake your $APL tokens. Staking allows you to receive a portion of royalty distributions generated by the underlying assets. 

Please see the following as an example of the user flow for earning royalties with $APL. 

For example, once you’ve claimed your $APL, you can then stake it by navigating to the Stake tab in the left sidebar of the Aria WebApp

It's as simple as that, your tokens are now earning royalties and you will also earn Aria Points for staking!
