# How to stake/unstake

Let's remind ourselves how stEVER works. You exchange your EVER tokens for stEVER tokens, which constantly increase in value, providing you with profit.

To start staking, you need to exchange EVER for stEVER, and vice versa for unstaking. All of this can be done on our platform in just a few clicks.

## Stake

1. Connect your Ever Wallet to the platform if you haven't done so already.
2. Go to the `Stake` section.
3. Choose the amount of EVER you want to stake and familiarize yourself with the amount of stEVER you will receive in return.
4. Click on `Stake EVER` and confirm the transaction in the opened EVER Wallet window.

After the transaction is completed, you will see the received stEVER in your wallet ([don't forget to add](https://docs.everwallet.net/manage-assets/how-to-add-tokens-to-your-wallet) stEVER to the list of displayed tokens in your EVER Wallet).

### Unstake

1. Connect your Ever Wallet to the platform if you haven't done so already
2. Go to the `Stake` section
3. Choose `Unstake` and then choose the amount of stEVER you want to spend and familiarize yourself with the amount of EVER you will receive in return
4. Click on `Unstake EVER` and confirm the transaction in the opened EVER Wallet window.

After you unstake your tokens, they will be returned to your wallet at the end of the round in which your stake participated. You can track the status of your unstaking process in the `Stake` section of your wallet interface. Typically, this process takes up to **36 hours**, but it can be faster, especially for small stakes which can be executed immediately.&#x20;
