### Step1 - Connect wallet and Log in staking account <a href="#step1-connect-wallet-and-log-in-staking-account" id="step1-connect-wallet-and-log-in-staking-account"></a>

FuLink currently supports only METAMASK wallet. Users need to download and install METAMASK wallet ahead. If you need more help with METAMASK usage, please refer here. Please create an account for staking in METAMASK after installation.

Once create a staking account in METAMASK wallet, log in and connect the staking account in FuLink Staking Dashboard. Click the "Connect Wallet" at the top right corner of the page, and a pop-up window connecting to METAMASK wallet will appear. Click the "Connect Wallet " in the pop-up window, and the METAMASK wallet plug-in will be invoked.

After connecting with METAMASK Wallet, the system will automatically detect whether you connect to the FuLink network. If not, it automatically prompts a window to switch to the correct network.

**Remark:** The default RPC server for BSC testnet sometime is unstable. If you find the current server is done, please find an active one here and replace it in METAMASK network setting.&#x20;

### Step2 - Explore the personal staking information <a href="#step2-explore-the-personal-staking-information" id="step2-explore-the-personal-staking-information"></a>

After successfully logging in, the screen will display comprehensive staking information specific to the logged-in user.

Please note that the staked amount in the pending pool can be claimed immediately upon unstaking, whereas the staking amount in the staking pool becomes claimable starting from the next epoch. As shown in the image, 1 NLK in the pending pool is eligible for immediate retrieval. However, the outstanding 1 NLK in the staking pool will be credited subsequent to the conclusion of the current period.
