# STAKING $LUKT

## Guide to Initiating Staking $LUKT

#### <mark style="color:purple;">**Step 1: Selecting Your Staking Amount**</mark>

To begin, decide how many $LUKT tokens you wish to stake. You have two options:

* **Max Option:** Use this to stake all available $LUKT tokens in your wallet.
* **Specific Amount:** Enter the exact number of $LUKT tokens you want to stake.

#### <mark style="color:purple;">**Step 2: Approving the Staking Transaction**</mark>

Next, you'll need to approve the staking transaction by clicking "Approve." This action, a blockchain transaction, incurs a gas fee because it authorizes the transfer of your tokens from your wallet to the Luckaton ecosystem.

#### <mark style="color:purple;">**Step 3: Confirming the Staking on the Blockchain**</mark>

Then, confirm your intention to stake by clicking "Stake Now." This on-chain transaction also requires a gas fee, so ensure your wallet has sufficient ETH to cover this cost.

### <mark style="color:purple;">**Reward Claiming Process**</mark>

Once your tokens are staked, you'll start earning rewards. These can be claimed at any time without incurring a network fee, as they are managed within the $LUKT staking dapp's off-chain ecosystem. For more details on this process, refer to the relevant section.

### <mark style="color:purple;">**Commencing the Lock Period**</mark>

After confirming the staking transaction, your tokens (including any newly claimed rewards) will begin accruing APY immediately. Note that all staked tokens enter a **10-day lock period**, during which you cannot unstake them.

This structured approach ensures a seamless and informed staking experience within the Luckaton ecosystem, encouraging participation while highlighting the steps and considerations involved in the staking process.
