# Staking

***Staking on Hyperpool has a minimum period of 7 days.*** \
\
During this period you will not be able to withdraw your tokens from the contract. After this period has ended, you are free to unstake your tokens at your convenience. 

**How do I stake my tokens?** 

Staking through the app is simple. 

1. Click the 'Approve' button and sign the transaction. 

This gives the contract permission to spend tokens on your behalf (I.E. Stake them in the contract).

When this is complete, the button will change to 'Approved!'

2. Enter the amount of tokens you wish to stake.

When you do so, you will see how many bonus points you will earn, and your available token balance while staked. 

3. Click 'Stake Tokens' and sign the transaction.

Your tokens are now staked, and your points balance will be reflected in the app overview section, as well as your 'currently staked' amount being reflected in the Stake section. 

*Please be aware that your bonus points will only be reflected in your wallet balance while your tokens are staked as this is a bonus for staking through the platform. When you unstake your tokens, you will lose the bonus points you were awarded for staking. Your points balance will return to the original balance.*
