# Stake $TUNA

1. Navigate to our staking page: <https://defituna.com/stake>.
2. Click the **Connect Wallet** button (purple icon at the top of the page) and follow the prompts to connect the wallet you want to use.\
   Make sure your wallet holds $TUNA tokens — if not, you can purchase some [here](https://defituna.com/trade?pool=AXB9KoFBT4ZxJgc4bHMYDgSkxjox6JuL3bbLBeL8LdSJ).
3. Once connected, click **Stake**, choose the amount you wish to stake, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.

**“My Stake”** shows the number of tokens you’ve staked, along with their equivalent dollar value.

**“My Share”** represents the percentage of the total staking pool you currently own.

**“APR (Annual Percentage Rate)”** is calculated as the average of daily APR snapshots over the past 30 days.

**“Earned”** displays the amount of SOL you’ve accrued from protocol revenue sharing. You can either "**Claim"** these rewards or "**Compound"** them back into staking.
{% endhint %}

If you scroll down, you’ll see up-to-date analytics on the protocol’s **Total Revenue**.\
You can switch the display between SOL (by clicking the "**T"** button) and USD (by clicking the "**$"** button).\
You can also select a timeframe and hover over the chart to view specific values.

## Staking benefits

100% of protocol revenue is directed on-chain to a dedicated revenue pool. Token holders who stake $TUNA can claim a share of this revenue, proportional to the amount they stake.

**Example:**

* User A stakes 90 tokens
* User B stakes 10 tokens
* Pool revenue = $100,000
* User A receives $90,000
* User B receives $10,000

This structure is designed to be simple, transparent, and fair — just like everything else we’ve built at DefiTuna.

All protocol revenue is converted into $SOL and distributed to $TUNA stakers at least once per day. This ensures that rewards not only remain straightforward but also align with our long-term vision: being net long on the Solana ecosystem.

**In short, staking $TUNA is the most direct way to gain exposure to the future of Solana DeFi.**
