# How to Stake

## Step-by-Step Guide: How to Use Unique Human Staking - "Staking for Humans"

1. Please access [**Unique Human Staking**](https://www.uniquehuman.org/staking) and connect your wallet.

2. Once the wallet connection is complete, the "Connect Wallet" button will change to "**Verify & Stake**."

3. For staking, the connected wallet **must hold WLD and CNG on the Optimism** network. If either of these tokens is not present, the balance will be displayed as zero, as shown below.

4. If you currently hold CNG on the Arbitrum network, you **must first transfer it to the Ethereum Mainnet**. Due to the characteristics of Arbitrum, this process will take a total of 15 days.

<figure><img src="https://4202494527-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAl5LdPTihRS52h1Ep2Uk%2Fuploads%2FLViVzEkxQRamjGTKy4wa%2FScreenshot%202024-08-02%20at%205.19.25%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&amp;token=6eded7e7-41b3-4651-a825-d88125ec30bc" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

5. Click on the "**Arbitrum -> Ethereum Bridge**" located at the bottom right corner of the Unique Human Staking interface to transfer your **CNG** held on the **Arbitrum One Network to Ethereum**.

<figure><img src="https://4202494527-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAl5LdPTihRS52h1Ep2Uk%2Fuploads%2FWnJtDImhJ2ljCtUwTPQR%2FScreenshot%202024-08-02%20at%205.22.03%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&amp;token=309c55e5-b516-418f-9050-dd044fdc664e" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

6. If you are using the Arbitrum -> Ethereum Bridge for the first time, a prompt asking whether you agree to **import the CNG token** may appear, as shown below. Please click "**Import token**" to add the CNG token to the Bridge.

<figure><img src="https://4202494527-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAl5LdPTihRS52h1Ep2Uk%2Fuploads%2FjH0zz3gaCUOuwX4Wd46u%2FScreenshot%202024-08-02%20at%205.19.55%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&amp;token=c7422b3a-11b3-4d50-acd8-6afbd2138fcd" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

7. If you initially held CNG on Ethereum or have successfully transferred your CNG from Arbitrum to Ethereum, the next step is to **move the CNG to the Optimism Network**. Please select the "**Ethereum -> Optimism Bridge**."

<figure><img src="https://4202494527-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAl5LdPTihRS52h1Ep2Uk%2Fuploads%2F8A9fbNsHzZeWodMjmK7B%2FScreenshot%202024-08-02%20at%205.27.01%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&amp;token=a91fd6d8-9d00-4364-9b7b-46e1a0c30432" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

8. Selecting the "Ethereum -> Optimism Bridge" will connect you to **Superbridge**, as shown below. Once there, **connect your wallet** and **search for CNG** instead of ETH, then select CNG.

<figure><img src="https://4202494527-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAl5LdPTihRS52h1Ep2Uk%2Fuploads%2FjHguyU0HFm7nDJ0bYJGS%2FScreenshot%202024-08-02%20at%205.28.52%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&amp;token=2689da42-ed0c-49c2-b48e-ed32c56e63bb" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

9. After selecting CNG, specify **the amount you wish to transfer from Ethereum to the Optimism Mainnet**. Then, execute the bridge transaction. Please note that you will need a **small amount of ETH** on the Ethereum Mainnet to cover the **transaction fees**.

<figure><img src="https://4202494527-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAl5LdPTihRS52h1Ep2Uk%2Fuploads%2FOje8MMiJFaP36BxM5FOA%2FScreenshot%202024-08-02%20at%205.29.33%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&amp;token=3640ef94-09df-4fb1-a5b1-9e3aab0819c7" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

10. After a short wait, your **CNG will arrive on the Optimism Mainnet**. If your connected wallet also contains WLD, your balances will be displayed correctly as shown below.

<figure><img src="https://4202494527-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAl5LdPTihRS52h1Ep2Uk%2Fuploads%2Fd4BTW3Rhe0cZBmfmsVuF%2FScreenshot%202024-08-02%20at%205.40.09%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&amp;token=820e5f3b-39e8-497d-bd43-f6781960cb31" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

11. If your CNG has successfully arrived on the Optimism network but your wallet does not yet contain WLD, **you will need to transfer WLD from an exchange** where you have purchased it to the wallet connected to Unique Human Staking.\
    \
    For instance, on **Binance**, go to the **crypto withdrawal** menu, select **WLD** and the **Optimism network**, then enter the **wallet address** where you wish to receive the tokens.

<figure><img src="https://4202494527-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAl5LdPTihRS52h1Ep2Uk%2Fuploads%2FFbSE3GL32MLjLhFfpHJq%2FScreenshot%202024-08-02%20at%205.43.29%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&amp;token=1925b6fc-1445-4f5f-aedb-36f506d638d4" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

12. After a short wait, **WLD will be successfully transferred to your wallet**, and you should see the WLD balance displayed in Unique Human Staking. At this point, you will be able to see and interact with the "**Verify & Stake**" button.

<figure><img src="https://4202494527-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAl5LdPTihRS52h1Ep2Uk%2Fuploads%2F2S7FEpAZZsVYKBoWgXYs%2FScreenshot%202024-08-02%20at%205.14.46%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&amp;token=952e49de-1b0e-42ce-830c-a932e4e28f83" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

13. **Select the staking product** you wish to participate in and **choose the amount of WLD** you want to stake. Then, **click the "Verify & Stake" button**. The minimum amount of CNG required to stake together with your WLD will be automatically selected based on the chosen product.\
    \
    Upon clicking the button, a **World ID verification QR code** will be displayed.

<figure><img src="https://4202494527-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAl5LdPTihRS52h1Ep2Uk%2Fuploads%2Fbi8wC7VtahTGd6xzpwgt%2FScreenshot%202024-08-01%20at%204.39.08%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&amp;token=be53f52d-0889-4729-a1fc-7ad4d04c59b6" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

14. **Open the World App** and **tap the QR code scan icon** located in the **upper left corner** to proceed with the verification.

<figure><img src="https://4202494527-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAl5LdPTihRS52h1Ep2Uk%2Fuploads%2FdTd3QOxuiammgAbUARmg%2FKakaoTalk_Photo_2024-08-02-17-51-22.png?alt=media&amp;token=36201741-9ec6-4691-90a4-6281ed650991" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

15. Once the **verification is complete**, your wallet will prompt you to initiate the staking process. **Approve the transaction in your wallet** to start the staking procedure.

<figure><img src="https://4202494527-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAl5LdPTihRS52h1Ep2Uk%2Fuploads%2FPLSnrboG9BwFfCikrFak%2FScreenshot%202024-08-02%20at%205.55.16%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&amp;token=178dd204-2865-47e8-b241-4be79c64553a" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

16. After the staking transaction is successfully sent from your wallet, a toast notification will appear. Wait a moment, and **your staking process will be successfully completed**.

<figure><img src="https://4202494527-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAl5LdPTihRS52h1Ep2Uk%2Fuploads%2FSk20NSezmgUxhOEbI2No%2FScreenshot%202024-08-01%20at%204.40.35%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&amp;token=6d392b7c-ae50-4dcd-8b9c-8c87d65d12ce" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

17. Once staking is complete, **you can view your staked positions under the Rewards tab**. You will have the **option to withdraw your assets** either after the staking period ends or at any time before it ends, subject to a nominal penalty.

<figure><img src="https://4202494527-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAl5LdPTihRS52h1Ep2Uk%2Fuploads%2FNfA2DEXoEszJbJTvKt2F%2FScreenshot%202024-08-01%20at%204.40.51%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&amp;token=56b2525c-31df-4810-b8f3-30e58e4c2930" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You've followed the process well. Now, **let's start earning high rewards with UH Staking!**

Please remember, participating in DeFi activities always **involves risks, which are solely the user's responsibility**. UH Staking **has not** undergone a separate security audit. Token investments can always result in **losses**.

Thank you.
