# How to stake

## Setup your wallet

When using the cheqd network, both testnet and mainnet, you will need to hold tokens to pay for the transaction. In this guide we offer options for setting up a wallet and adding cheqd's mainnet and testnet.

## Once you have set up your wallet

On the our staking and governance dashboard you can either click **"Stake Tokens"** or click the tab in the right hand corner called **"Stake".**
