# Staking your $MK

## <mark style="color:orange;">**Initiating Staking**</mark>

#### <mark style="color:blue;">Determine the quantity of $MK tokens you intend to stake. You can opt to:</mark>

* Use the "Max" option to stake all the $MK tokens in your wallet, or
* Enter a specific amount of $MK tokens for staking.

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

First, approve the staking transaction by clicking "Approve", this is a blockchain transaction, incurring a gas fee. This is because the tokens currently exist in your wallet and you are attempting to approve a transfer of them to the Meme Kombat ecosystem.

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

Proceed to confirm the staking on the blockchain by once again clicking "Stake Now". This is also an on-chain confirmation, which is a transaction that will require a gas fee. Make sure to ensure your wallet has enough ETH to cover the gas fee.

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

While your tokens are staked in Meme Kombat you will begin to earn rewards. As they accumulate you can claim them at any time without paying a network fee since tokens inside the $MK staking dapp are managed in our off chain ecosystem. See [#reward-claiming](#reward-claiming "mention") for more information on this.

#### <mark style="color:blue;">**Commencement of the Lock Period**</mark>

With the staking transaction confirmed, your tokens (including newly claimed rewards) will now start immediately accruing APY. All staked tokens will be locked for a 10-day period, during which time you cannot un-stake them.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://memekombattoken.gitbook.io/meme-kombat-whitepaper/introduction-to-staking/staking-your-usdmk.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
