# Staking walkthrough

To stake your tokens head to the Dashboard, and click on the staking tab.

You'll see the following details:

The Total PEAR is how many PEAR tokens are in your wallet.\

Note: you'll have to sign two transactions - one to approve the use of your PEAR, and one to actually stake.&#x20;

Once you've approved and staked, you will now hold a corresponding number of StPear. You can unstake those at any time, subject to the penalties.

As the protocol accrues trading fees from GMX, Vertex and SYMM - you can claim these in ETH. Additionally, as people leave the staking pool before 30 days, their foregone stPEAR in the form of penalties will be pro-rata available to you to claim. Both buttons are below:\ <br>
