# Staking

{% hint style="info" %}
All Ordinal Staking and individual collection reward pools are <mark style="color:orange;">**non-custodial**</mark>.&#x20;

#### Regular Staking (Soft-Staking)

<div data-full-width="true"><figure><img src="/files/a2grJXhO3SkHUC29mJwC" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

* <mark style="color:orange;">**Select the Ordinals**</mark> you wish to stake, then click <mark style="color:orange;">**"Stake"**</mark> and sign the staking transaction.
  * <mark style="color:orange;">**Just as a reminder**</mark>**:** to make sure we can provide the highest quality service, we charge a nominal fee of <mark style="color:orange;">**$1 per staked Ordinal.**</mark>

* Once you <mark style="color:orange;">**signed the transaction,**</mark> the Ordinals you selected will be <mark style="color:orange;">**moved to the Staked**</mark> category, however they will only start collecting rewards <mark style="color:orange;">**once the transaction confirms.**</mark> This can take <mark style="color:orange;">**up to an hour,**</mark> depending on the Bitcoin Network.

#### Time-Lock Staking

* The difference between reward types:
  * <mark style="color:orange;">**Off chain**</mark> points (like Stakit-Points) <mark style="color:orange;">**can be claimed**</mark> to your profile. After claiming, you'll be able to <mark style="color:orange;">**spend**</mark> those points in the <mark style="color:orange;">**Item Shop,**</mark> <mark style="color:orange;">**Raffles**</mark> and <mark style="color:orange;">**future features**</mark> that we will be implementing.
    * These points have <mark style="color:orange;">**no monetary value**</mark> and they strictly live on Stakit only.
  * <mark style="color:orange;">**On Chain**</mark> rewards like Runes and BRC-20s <mark style="color:orange;">**can be claimed**</mark> into your wallet and <mark style="color:orange;">**have monetary value.**</mark>
    * These rewards <mark style="color:orange;">**can be spent**</mark> in the <mark style="color:orange;">**Item Shop, Raffles**</mark> and other future features <mark style="color:orange;">**without having to claim**</mark> them first. The rewards you <mark style="color:orange;">**spend on Stakit**</mark> will be <mark style="color:orange;">**deducted**</mark> from your <mark style="color:orange;">**Staked Ordinals.**</mark>
