How to use Staking ?

To get started, access the DApp via the following link: <https://app.ralphbuilder.org/><br>

Next, connect your wallet using one of the available methods. Please ensure you have an address belonging to **GROUP 0** to participate in staking. (<https://docs.alephium.org/fr/wallet/>)

Once connected, the staking pool will be directly accessible (<https://app.ralphbuilder.org/staking>). \
You can deposit an amount of $BUILD to stake and sign the transaction:

The page also provides key information, such as:

* The total amount staked.
* Available rewards.
* The number of stakers.
* The minimum unlock period of 10 days applies when you unstake.

  > This period is designed to encourage ongoing participation and prevent exploitation of the rewards system.

#### **Harvest Rewards**

Before claiming your rewards, it is recommended to use the **Harvest** button to ensure your earnings are up-to-date.

By using this button, you also receive an additional reward of **0.015 $BUILD** each time.
