# Simple Staking (USDC & ETH)

<figure><img src="/files/G4t6WAkDGCqyFd97FzUM" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Simple Staking on Voltage allows you to earn rewards by locking your tokens into a smart contract. It’s a one-sided staking mechanism, which means you don’t need to pair your tokens with any other asset. This makes it a straightforward and efficient way to earn yield on your holdings.

### With Simple Staking:

• WETH stakers earn rewards in WETH (on Fuse).

• USDC stakers earn rewards in USDC (on Fuse).

### How Does Simple Staking Work?

When you stake your tokens, they are locked in the Voltage staking contract. The staking rewards are distributed in the same token you stake. The Annual Percentage Yield (APY) may vary depending on the Total Value Locked (TVL) in the staking pools. Currently, the yield is provided by Voltage, but we are working towards enabling native yield options in the future.

### Here are the key features of Simple Staking:

• Earn rewards in the same token you stake.

• Stake and unstake at any time.

• Rewards are automatically credited to your wallet when you unstake.

### How to Stake on Voltage

1. Go to the Voltage App: Navigate to the [Voltage ](https://voltage.finance/stake)[Stake tab](https://voltage.finance/stake).
2. Select Your Asset: Choose the token you want to stake (WETH or USDC).
3. 3\. Initiate Staking:\
   \- Click the Stake button next to your chosen asset.\
   \- Enter the amount you want to stake and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
4. &#x20;Manage Your Rewards:\
   \- Rewards are automatically added to your wallet when you unstake.\
   \- If you want to claim rewards without unstaking, you can unstake and restake the tokens.\
   \- When you stake additional tokens, any accrued rewards will also be credited to your wallet.<br>

### Seamless Bridging for Cross-Chain Assets

If your tokens are on other networks like Optimism, Polygon, Arbitrum, or Base, you can use the [Fuse Bridge](https://console.fuse.io/bridge) to transfer your assets to the Fuse Network effortlessly. The bridge supports fast and seamless transactions, ensuring that you can start staking on Voltage without delays.
