Yes, your GMEE is safe while hard staking. The tokens are locked into a smart contract for the chosen duration (30 or 60 days). After the staking period, your GMEE will be returned to you. However, during the staking period, you cannot access or trade your staked tokens. If you choose to withdraw your stake early, a 5% tax will be applied to the staked amount. This mechanism ensures the security of your tokens while incentivizing long-term staking.
