# Stake NOX

### Overview

Staking NOX allows you to earn rewards while supporting the NOX ecosystem. You can stake your tokens directly within the **NOXCAT Wallet** or through the **NOXCAT DApp** using any compatible Web3 wallet, such as **MetaMask** or **Binance Wallet**.

### Before You Start

Before staking, ensure that:

* You have NOX tokens in your wallet.
* You have enough native tokens to cover the network gas fee.
* You are using the wallet address you intend to stake with.

> **Note:** Staking is tied to your wallet address. Always use the same wallet when viewing your staked balance and rewards.

#### Step 1. Open the Staking Page

Use your preferred wallet and visit: [**https://dapp.noxcat.io/stake**](https://dapp.noxcat.io/stake)

#### Step 2. Enter the Staking Amount

Input the amount of NOX you would like to stake.

#### Step 3. Confirm the Transaction

Click **Stake** and approve the transaction in your wallet.
