# Staking

After logging in, the left frame is for staking participants. Clicking "STAKE NLK NOW" will return to the "Staking Reward Distribution" page (1 -> 4), where you can select the slot you want to stake in. Click "STAKE" to enter the Manage Staking page.

This page provides access points for two roles: `Stake Participant` and `Grid Manager`. Participation in staking requires users to log in first. Click `Sign In` at the top right, which will prompt the wallet authorization. Here, we will use the Metamask wallet as an example.

This page displays detailed information about your staking in the selected slot, including principal, staking rewards, etc. The key difference between `MY STAKING IN POOL` and `PENDING STAKING AMOUNT` is that `MY STAKING IN POOL` represents the amount that has already taken effect during the current epoch, while `PENDING STAKING AMOUNT` represents the amount staked during the current epoch, which will take effect in the next epoch.

### Stake

Click `STAKE` to stake your NLK, as shown below:

You can manually enter the amount you wish to stake or click `MAX` to input your entire balance. 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 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:
