description Start staking with Brasa in minutes

Quick Start

Get started with Brasa liquid staking in just a few minutes. This guide walks you through your first stake.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • A compatible wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect, or Coinbase Wallet)
  • Tokens to stake on Fogo network
  • A small amount of tokens for gas fees
**New to Fogo?** Make sure your wallet is configured for the Fogo network. See our [Wallet Integration Guide](/integrate/wallets) for setup instructions.

Step-by-Step Guide

Visit [app.brasa.finance](https://app.brasa.finance) and click "Connect Wallet". Choose your preferred wallet provider and approve the connection. Enter the amount you want to stake. The interface will show you: - Amount of brsToken you'll receive - Current exchange rate - Estimated annual yield - Transaction fees Review the transaction details carefully: - Verify the amount and fees - Check the receiving address - Confirm you understand the staking terms Click "Stake" and approve the transaction in your wallet. You may need to: 1. Approve the token spending (first-time only) 2. Confirm the stake transaction Once confirmed, brsToken will appear in your wallet. Your tokens are now earning rewards!

Using Different Methods

The easiest way to stake is through our web application: 
1. Visit [app.brasa.finance](https://app.brasa.finance)
2. Connect your wallet
3. Follow the on-screen instructions

The web app provides:
- User-friendly interface
- Real-time price updates
- Transaction history
- Portfolio tracking
Advanced users can interact directly with the smart contracts: 
<ContractAddress
  chain="Fogo"
  address="0x1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12345678"
  label="Brasa Staking Contract"
/>

```solidity
// Example: Stake tokens
function stake(uint256 amount) external returns (uint256 shares);

// Example: Unstake tokens
function unstake(uint256 shares) external returns (uint256 amount);
```

See [Smart Contracts](/integrate/smart-contracts) for full documentation.
Developers can use our JavaScript/TypeScript SDK: 
```typescript
import { BrasaSDK } from '@brasa/sdk'

const brasa = new BrasaSDK({
  provider: window.ethereum,
  network: 'fogo'
})

// Stake tokens
const tx = await brasa.stake('1000')
await tx.wait()

console.log('Staking complete!')
```

See [SDK Documentation](/integrate/sdk) for more examples.

What Happens Next?

After staking, your tokens immediately begin earning rewards:

Reward Accrual

  • Staking Rewards: Earned from validator operations
  • MEV Rewards: Distributed proportionally to all stakers
  • Compound Effect: brsToken value increases over time relative to the underlying token

Tracking Your Position

Monitor your staking position through:

  • Web App Dashboard: Real-time balance and rewards
  • On-Chain: View transactions on Fogo explorer
  • Portfolio Trackers: Many DeFi dashboards support brsToken
**Congratulations!** You're now staking with Brasa. Your rewards accrue automatically—no need to claim or compound manually.

Using Your brsToken

Your brsToken is fully liquid and composable. You can:

  • Hold: Simply hold and earn staking rewards
  • Trade: Exchange on DEXs at current market rate
  • DeFi: Use as collateral or in liquidity pools
  • Transfer: Send to any Fogo address

See LST Economics to understand brsToken value dynamics.

Unstaking

When you want to exit your position:

Navigate to the unstake section in the web app

Enter the amount of brsToken to unstake

Review and confirm the unstake transaction Receive your original tokens plus accrued rewards **Note**: Unstaking is subject to liquidity availability. In most cases, it's instant, but during high demand, there may be a short waiting period.
