# Staking Guide

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Learn basics of Staking

First of all, you can read about staking on our ℹ️ [Blog](https://everstake.one/blog) page.

Also will be useful:

* 📌 [FAQ](/staking-docs/faq.md)
* 📚 [Glossary](/staking-docs/glossary.md)
* Basic knowledge of how blockchain and validator works
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Choose Blockchain

When choosing a blockchain, we recommend paying attention to the inflation rate, APR, popularity of the blockchain, and stability of positions on the PoS market.

You can also see a list of all blockchains that support Everstake - ⚒️ [Protocols](/staking-docs/procotols.md)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Choose wallets that supports staking <mark style="color:$primary;">with Everstake</mark>

Once you have decided on the blockchain where you want to stake your tokens, go to the page of this blockchain in ⚒️ [Protocols](/staking-docs/procotols.md) and check out the section "**Where can I stake?**".&#x20;

There you will find trusted crypto wallets that are also Everstake partners. Create a personal wallet and proceed to the next step.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Decide on the amount of tokens you will stake

For big players, Everstake offers a mutually beneficial partnership. Schedule a meeting with Everstake representatives ([Support](/staking-docs/support.md) -> Institutional Staking)  and get a special rate that differs from the blockchain.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Watch the video about Staking (or read the manual)

Once you have completed all the previous steps and are familiar with all the intricacies of the blockchain you will be staking on, you can easily follow the steps outlined in the video guide or manual on ⚒️ [Protocols](/staking-docs/procotols.md) page

## 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://docs.everstake.one/staking-docs/staking-guide.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.
