# How to Stake $PEPU
## **How Staking Rewards Work**
Staking rewards are distributed per block, currently at a rate of 6.34 $PEPU.
Your rewards are calculated based on your share of the total staking pool. The more $PEPU you stake, the higher your % of the pool. **New stakes are subject to a 7 day lock**.
* Per block: 6.34 $PEPU total is distributed
* Your portion: Based on your % of the pool
* Rewards are dynamic and will adjust over time
* Monthly Estimate: (Annual % / 12)
* Daily Estimate: (Annual % / 365)
This model ensures sustainability and fairness as the network grows.
## **How to Stake**
It only takes a few steps to start earning:
1. Visit
2. Make sure you're connected to Pepu L2
3. Connect your wallet
4. Confirm your $PEPU tokens are on Layer 2
5. Choose your stake amount and hit Stake
Once staked, rewards start accruing block by block

## 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://guide.pepeunchained.com/pepu-guide/how-to-stake-usdpepu.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.
