## How to Stake ?

After completing the deposit functionality, lenders receive LP tokens which earn a certain APY. cSigma Edge also provides another [earning opportunity](/csigma-protocol/about-edge/sigma-rewards.md) on top of this APY which they can earn in the form of [SIGMA](/csigma-protocol/sigma/launch.md) tokens.

To earn SIGMA rewards, lenders need to lock their LP tokens inside a staking vault. Lenders need to select the LP token of a Master Pool which they want to lock.

Click on `Transact` button. Switch to `Stakes` in the pop-up window. Fill in the amount and select the lock-in period.

Depending on the dollar value of LP tokens and the commitment period, the vault calculated the SIGMA rewards which will be credited to lender's wallet once they unstake.

## How to unstake ?

Once the commitment period for LP tokens is over. Lenders can `Transact` against the same Master Pool. They need to switch to `Stakes` tab of the pop-up window.&#x20;
