# Locked $Daiya

Locked $Daiya are similar to the regular $Daiya token, except for the fact that they cannot be unlocked pre-IDO. What this means is that before $Daiya has launched via IDO, these tokens can be transferred from a user A to user B, but they remain locked and they cannot be unlocked by this user B, making them essentially unusable. Until after the IDO, then these Locked tokens will become regular $Daiya tokens.

You will however still be able to stake Locked $Daiya and earn $Sui when you stake in the [Daiya Vault](/suidaiya/protocol/daiya-vault.md).
