# Start staking
**Step 1**: Please make sure you are NOT in the All accounts mode. Please choose a specific account, and click the tab **Staking**.
**Step 2**: In the **Staking** tab, please choose **Start staking**.
In case you have staked before, even not through SubWallet, the staking tab would still display information about your stakings, as the following image:
**Step 3**: Select the network you want to stake on.
**Step 4**: Select a collator. \
The wallet displays the number of people participating in staking for a particular validator/collator/dApp, and the **annualized** percentage yield (APY) on staking for such validator/collator/dApp. We suggest you choose validators/collators/dApps that are (i) not "overcrowded" and (ii) report a significantly high annual return.
**Step 5**: Check the information. If you still want to stake for this validator/collator/dApp, please click **Start staking**.
**Step 6**: Enter the amount you want to stake and click **Continue**.
**Step 7**: Review your transaction. If you still want to proceed, please click **Continue**.
**Step 8**: Enter your password and click **Confirm**.
Depends on your network connection or blockchain processing time, it might take a while to finalize your transaction. Please be patient!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.subwallet.app/beta/mobile-app-user-guide/manage-staking/start-staking.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
