**How Staking Works:**

* You can stake using **TON or WTON tokens** you own
* When **TON is selected**, the Balance shows your available TON amount
* When **WTON is selected**, the Balance shows your available WTON amount
* Click the **Max button** to input the maximum amount you can stake (e.g., 121,955.25 TON as shown in the image)

**Confirming Your Stake:**

* After entering the amount, if everything is correct, the button changes to **"Stake"**
* Click the **Stake button** to execute the staking transaction
* When you press the Stake button, a Metamask popup window opens in the browser's Metamask extension. Complete the staking by clicking confirm.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If Stake button is disabled

* This phenomenon occurs when the DAO candidate does not stake 1,000.1 TON.
