# Staking your Saga on Keplr

First of all you need a [Keplr](https://www.keplr.app/) wallet which supports Cosmos SDK based blockchains\
If this is your first time using Keplr Wallet, follow this [tutorial](https://help.keplr.app/articles/installation-guide-for-keplr-extension-for-beginners) to install and start using it.

To stake your SAGA, first go to your Keplr extension and click on "Manage Portfolio in Keplr Dashboard", it should bring you to <https://wallet.keplr.app/chains/saga>

In the Keplr dashboard you should see all the information about: **Total SAGA Amount, Staking Amount, Available Balance and Claimable Rewards.**

Click the **Stake** button as shown in the picture.

You should see a list of validators. Choose a validator by either typing the name of your desired validator into the search bar or by scrolling down the list.

If you select one of the **top 10 validators**, you may encounter a notice like this, don't worry, you can always choose this validator for staking. However, this notice serves as an encouragement to consider other validators for a more decentralized network.

Once you’ve selected your validator, fill out the number of $SAGA that you’d like to stake, select “Stake” once again and then approve the transaction.

If everything goes correctly, you should see your staking amount in the **Staking Amount** section.

{% hint style="info" %}
Please note that staking will lock up your assets for **21 days**. You will need to undelegate to make your staked assets liquid again, which also takes **21 days** to complete.
{% endhint %}

## Claiming Staking Rewards <a href="#id-0d24" id="id-0d24"></a>

To claim the reward from your staking (after it matures a little bit), click the claim button in the Claimable Rewards section (you should have some SAGA before claim for the Tx fee).

In the end, you should have your **Available Balance** increased by the value of your claim (and ready for a another round of stake 😉).
