# Stake

1. **Connect Your Wallet:** Make sure to connect your wallet. Currently, staking, renting, and other features are **only supported by EVM wallets**.
2. **Staking MERL:** Click the 'Stake' button, enter the amount of MERL you want to stake, and then click 'Approve'. Follow the prompts to sign your wallet. If your Merl has not been authorized for trading previously, you may need to sign twice.
3. **Unstaking MERL:** Click the 'Unstake' button. You can unstake at any time.
4. **Earning Rewards:** Once your stake is successful, rewards will be calculated based on the number of Bitmap Tokens consumed in Bitmap.game. The reward formula is:

$$
\text{ Staked MERL} / \text{Total MERL}  \times \text{Reward Value for the Period}
$$

5. **Harvesting Rewards:** To withdraw your rewards, click the 'Harvest' button and confirm the action by signing with your wallet.
