# How to stake FEG

Use this guide to stake FEG on [SmartDeFi.com](https://smartdefi.com).

### Before you start

Make sure you hold **FEG** in the wallet you plan to connect.

Keep some native gas token in that wallet for approvals and staking transactions.

If you still need FEG on **BNB Chain**, follow [Use BNB to buy FEG](/feg-smartdefi-tm/how-to-buy-feg/use-bnb-eth-to-buy-feg.md).

### Connect your wallet

Click **Connect Wallet** in the top-right corner.

Choose your blockchain and your preferred wallet connection method. In this example, the wallet is MetaMask.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Approve and stake FEG

Open the **Staking** tab on the left.

Select **Stake**, then enter the amount of FEG you want to stake.

If the button shows **Approve**, confirm that transaction first. Approval lets the staking contract access your FEG.

After approval confirms, click **Stake** and confirm the second transaction in your wallet.

You may see two wallet prompts in total. Keep enough gas for both.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Verify your staking position

After the transaction confirms, the staking panel shows your staked amount, rewards, and other staking details.

Your wallet also receives **FST** staking shares, which track your position in the pool.

For reward rules, FST details, and sacrifice settings, see [FEG Staking](/feg-smartdefi-tm/feg-staking.md).
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
If the staking button stays unavailable, check the selected network, your FEG balance, and your gas balance. If needed, reconnect your wallet and wait for balances to refresh.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.feg.io/feg-smartdefi-tm/feg-staking/navigate.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
