# Staking

Where a network supports staking and your account rules allow it, you manage it from the account's **Staking** section. The way positions, rewards, and actions are presented is consistent across networks; the mechanics of staking itself differ from chain to chain, so each staking-capable network has its own page under [Network-specific guidance](/helpcenter2/when-network-behaviour-differs.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Staking actions are governed by a dedicated **staking ruleset** on the account. If you don't see staking actions, your account either isn't configured for staking or you're not part of its staking rule. An Administrator sets this up; see [Governance rules & whitelists](/helpcenter2/governance-rules-and-whitelists.md).
{% endhint %}

## View staking positions and rewards

The staking section shows, for the account:

* the **provider / validator** the stake is delegated to (for example, Figment);
* **rewards**, with a breakdown across all-time, the month, and the week;
* **balances** (what's available, what's staked, and accrued rewards), which can vary by network;
* the **estimated yield**; and
* the **latest staking operations**.

## Start or stop staking

The section's primary actions are **Stake** and **Unstake**. Starting a stake walks you through choosing how much to stake and which provider or validator to use, then authorising on your device like any other request; the exact options depend on the network.

Because the details differ significantly between chains, follow the page for your network:

* [Ethereum: staking & Replace by Nonce](/helpcenter2/network-specific-guidance/ethereum-staking-and-replace-by-nonce.md) covers Pectra staking, validators, top-ups, consolidation, and withdrawals.
* [Hedera: HBAR & HTS tokens](/helpcenter2/network-specific-guidance/hedera-hbar-and-hts-tokens.md) covers liquid staking of the whole balance, with no lock-up.
