# How to Stake

To get started, go to the **My stake** section of the staking interface and [**connect the EVER Wallet**](/use/getting-started/how-to-connect-wallets.md#connect-wallets) if you haven't already.

Under My staking balance in the **amount field** you need to specify how much BRIDGE you want to stake.\
Or you can specify your maximum amount of BRIDGE by clicking on **MAX** button and click **Stake**.

Then you need to confirm this action in your wallet EVER.\
Note the commission is written 11.5 EVER. You will withdraw from a purse 11.5 EVER but most of them will return, in fact the commission will be approximately 2.8 EVER.

Upon successful completion of the transaction, you start to get reward every second, which will be burned in future Octus Bridge yield distribution and will be credited to us as bridge tokens.\
You can see your total amount of staked tokens at [**My staking performance**](/use/staking/my-stake/interface/my-staking-performance.md) block.

## 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.octusbridge.io/use/staking/my-stake/how-to/how-to-stake.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.
