# How to Stake in Pools

Staking in Pools lets you earn GENESYS or other tokens while you eat or sleep!

It's simpler than farming, because unlike the Farms, you only need to stake **one token** to start earning: usually GENESYS.

## **Getting started with Pool staking**

1\. Go to the Pools page here.

2\. Connect to your BNB Smart Chain-compatible wallet by clicking the **Connect** button.

3\. Click **Unlock Wallet**.

4\. Choose which Pool you want to stake in.

       **GSYS -** Any GENESYS you earn will need to be harvest and compound your earnings manually.

5\. Once you choose a pool, click the **Enable** button. Your wallet will ask you to confirm the action.

6\. The Enable button should now be replaced with **Stake**. Click the button to bring up the staking menu.

7\. Type in an amount to choose how much GSYS you want to stake.

8\. Click **Confirm**. Your wallet will ask you to confirm the action.

9\. The Confirm button will change to "Confirming", then once the transaction is successful, you’ll see your staked amount change and the button will change again.

10\. You should now be able to see details on your Pool and will show a **Collect** button to claim your staking rewards into your wallet.

11\. If you unstake your tokens out of the locking period for flexible stacking will apply automatically 1% penalty fee.

### **Adding and removing GSYS from a Pool**

You can easily add more GSYS to a Pool, or move some GSYS to a more profitable pool. Here’s how you can move your staked GSYS.

1\. Click the **" - "** to take some GSYS out of a pool, or the **" + "** to add more to the pool.

2\. A window will open. If you clicked the **" + "**, choose the amount you would like to add to the pool. If you clicked the **" - "**, choose the amount to take out of the pool.

3\. Click **Confirm**.

4\. After a little wait, you'll be able to see your new amount of staked tokens.
