# How to Stake Eggs for xEgg

**Step 1:**

Go to <https://www.eggs.cool/staking>- and unlock your wallet.

**Step 2:**

From there you'll be able to see the "Chicken Coop" where you can stake Eggs (turning it into xEgg) in order to earn part of the 0.05% trade fee from all pools on the exchange.

**Step 3:**\
First, you may need to "Approve" the Egg token before you are able to use it. Simply hit the "Approve Eggs" button and sign the transaction with your wallet or MetaMask.

**Step 4:**\
Once the Egg token is approved you'll be able to hit "Convert to xEgg" to stake your Egg.

**Step 5:**\
Then a new window prompt will pop-up letting you select how much EGGS you want to stake. Select the amount, hit confirm and send the transaction.

**Step 6:**\
After that you will see the xEgg available in the bar.

The amount of xEgg in the Chicken Coop will not change. But the amount of Egg it represents will.\
\
As fees are collected they are converted to $EGG and distributed proportionally across holders in the xEGG pool. So when you withdraw your xEGG back into $EGG it will be worth more $EGG than when you put in.\
\
These rewards are slower to update (because they cost a lot of gas) and so you should expect them to update, on average, once per day.\
\
Currently there is no way in the UI to see the level of rewards until you withdraw. The team is working to fix this.
