# Staking NEXUS

On the "Stake NEXUS" section, the amount of tokens to be staked can be entered. This can never be more than there are in the connected wallet. \


{% hint style="info" %}
**Reminder:** if you have not staked any **NEXUS** then a minimum of 1000 NEXUS must be staked.
{% endhint %}

Beside the section are some buttons. Press any of these buttons to populate the field with the amount of tokens it says. Keep in mind if a button is pressed that shows more NEXUS than there is in the connect wallet, the button to stake will not work. The connected wallet needs to have as many or more tokens than there is entered into the field.\

When certain about the stake, press the "Stake Tokens" button. It should light up blue if it is possible to stake. It will also say how many base shares will be earned by staking the tokens.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Per 1000 NEXUS tokens staked 1 base share is earned.**
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**At least 1000 NEXUS tokens must be staked.** If you have already staked 1000 tokens then you can stake again with a lower amount, which will earn you fractional base shares. For example 500 tokens will earn you 0.5 additional base shares.
{% endhint %}

After the button is pressed, a transaction will appear in the connected wallet. Confirm the transaction to stake the tokens on the blockchain.
