After confirming the amount, click `STAKE`, which will trigger a pop-up to confirm the staking details, including the start of interest accrual and the time of withdrawal. Click `YES, I’M SURE` to trigger the wallet for gas fee payment. Once paid, the staking is successful. ### Unstake There are two types of unstaking: `UNSTAKE AMOUNT FROM POOL` and `UNSTAKE`, as shown below: ![Unstake](https://3656270133-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fbl2X8fiUjimc1LiVaBXM%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-adae2ac9348a1b36d263d39fe900ab14f2dabc55%2Funstake.png?alt=media) * `UNSTAKE AMOUNT FROM POOL` will allow you to withdraw your principal after the current epoch ends. * `UNSTAKE` will allow you to withdraw pending principal immediately. ### Claim Rewards Interest is generated after each epoch ends. The interest will be settled and added to `MY CLAIMABLE REWARDS`. Users can then `CLAIM REWARDS` to transfer the interest to their wallet, as shown below: ![Claim Rewards](https://3656270133-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fbl2X8fiUjimc1LiVaBXM%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-65e71a37f427d5df40591c6592bd2fa04525180f%2FclaimRewards.png?alt=media) ### Claim Principal If you no longer wish to stake, you can withdraw all your principal by clicking `CLAIM PRINCIPAL AMOUNT`, as shown below: ![Claim Principal](https://3656270133-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fbl2X8fiUjimc1LiVaBXM%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-448035441f23b981a8c2d491df0cbbfe9491d3e4%2FclaimPrincipal.png?alt=media) ### Operation Records Scroll down further to view your activity history in this grid, including actions such as `Staking`, `Unstaking`, `Claim Principal`, and `Claim Rewards`. ![Operation Records](https://3656270133-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fbl2X8fiUjimc1LiVaBXM%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-49c92a3c6e0f124e3c08e46e19453d101b8dcb02%2FoperationRecords.png?alt=media) ## Staking Records Click `VIEW STAKING RECORDS` to enter the Staking Records page, as shown below: ![My Staking Records](https://3656270133-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fbl2X8fiUjimc1LiVaBXM%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-7a714f618eaef473b273e31b42e3c797b4e46013%2FmyStakingOverview.png?alt=media) The page shows an overview of all your staking activity across all grids, including: * `My Stake Grids`: The number of slots you have staked in. * `My Staking Amount in Pool`: The total staked amount earning interest. * `Pending Staking Amount`: The total pending staked amount, which will take effect in the next epoch. * `Claimable Principal Amount`: The total amount of principal available for withdrawal. * `MY CLAIMABLE REWARDS`: The total rewards available for claiming. * `MY ACCUMULATED REWARDS`: The total accumulated rewards. * Scroll down to see the list of all slots you have staked in: ![My Staking](https://3656270133-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fbl2X8fiUjimc1LiVaBXM%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-d4cb9d8fdbde3d2778ea1542ce21972fcbbd4519%2FmyStaking.png?alt=media) Click `MANAGE` to go to the Manage Staking page mentioned earlier. ## Leverage Stake Grids The right frame of the Staking page is for staking grid owners. ![Leverage Stake Grids](https://3656270133-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fbl2X8fiUjimc1LiVaBXM%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-61a619b42fdc645e8cb0dbc85e6f59fc03d6787c%2FleverageGrid.png?alt=media) Click `BID FOR STAKE GRIDS` to go to the Auction page.
