+
+Staking allows users to stake their HDX tokens and earn rewards which vest over time. This page contains a step-by-step guide on how to stake your HDX. Before proceeding, we urge you to get familiar with [the basics of HDX staking](/staking).
+
+If you don't have any HDX, you can obtain some on our [trade page](https://app.hydradx.io/#/trade) by swapping against a range of assets supported by the Omnipool.

+
+### Step 0: Navigate to HydraDX Staking Page
+
+https://app.hydradx.io/staking.
+
+Connect your wallet to HydraDX by clicking **`Connect Account` (1 in image above).**
+
+### Step 1: Stake Your HDX
+
+- Select the amount of HDX tokens you would like stake **(3)**.
+- Click on **`Stake`** **(4)** to confirm and sign the transaction using your wallet app.

+
+### Step 2: Keep Your HDX Staked
+
+- The amount of rewards you receive is determined by the size of your staked HDX relative to the whole stake pool.
+- As time passes, you unlock a greater portion of your allocated rewards. The rate of unlocking is determined by a rewards bonding curve.
+- Learn more in the Staking product docs.
+
+### Step 3: Boost Your Rewards
+
+- Collect Action Points to boost your rewards and increase the pace at which you unlock rewards.
+- You can collect Action Points by voting on referenda. The more staked HDX you use for the vote and the higher the Conviction Multitplier - the more Action Points you receive.
+- Learn more in the Staking product docs.
+
+### Step 4: Claim Your Rewards
+
+- Review your Staking statistics to observe and plan your own staking strategy **(5)**.
+- Once you are done staking, `Claim` your unlocked rewards **(8)**.
+
+:::caution
+Each time you claim your unlocked staking rewards, you forfeit any locked rewards which are redistributed to all other stakers. Furthermore, your past Action Points will be reset.
+
+For instance, if a staker claims rewards when 75% of the rewards are available, the remaining 25% is forfeited. The staker must then wait for the same duration to claim 75% of the subsequent batch of rewards.
