Staking locks up your `$OS` token (on [Base](https://base.org)) so it earns Carrots for you. It's a hands-off way to keep your balance topped up: there's no trading and nothing to manage day to day. You need to [sign in](/user/getting-started/sign-in) and link a wallet first.

## What you earn

Staked `$OS` pays about **50 Carrots per day for every full 25,000 `$OS`** you have staked. The reward lands automatically in your [Carrots history](/user/carrots/your-carrots) as a **Staking** entry, with nothing to claim.

## Stake your OS

Open **Settings** › **Stake \$OS**, then:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect your Base wallet">
    Connect (or reconnect) the Base wallet that holds your `$OS`. The panel then shows your wallet balance.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter an amount">
    Type how much `$OS` you want to stake. The rewards estimate updates to show what that amount would earn.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose Stake">
    Select **Stake**. If your wallet prompts you to approve first, confirm that, then confirm the stake. The transaction happens on-chain through your wallet.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Once it confirms, your staked balance updates and your daily Carrots begin.

## Unstake and withdraw

Unstaking has a **24-hour cooldown**: you request it, wait a day, then withdraw. Your `$OS` stays staked and keeps earning until you withdraw.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Request unstake">
    In the same **Stake \$OS** panel, choose **Request unstake** for the amount you want back. This starts the 24-hour cooldown.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait 24 hours">
    Your `$OS` is locked during the cooldown. You can't withdraw it early.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Withdraw">
    After the cooldown ends, choose **Withdraw** to return the `$OS` to your Base wallet. Confirm the transaction in your wallet.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Staking, unstaking, and withdrawing all happen on-chain and need a transaction in your wallet. The daily Carrot rewards, by contrast, land automatically inside bunnyOS.
