# ENJ Staking

ENJ Staking allows you to temporary lock your ENJ into on-chain nomination pools. Nomination pools hold the deposited ENJ and use it to nominate validators. This allows any ENJ holder to participate in securing the Enjin Relaychain and earn ENJ rewards every day. Depending on the pool, you could earn 10-25% APY on your ENJ by keeping it staked

***

### What Happens On-Chain When Staking

* ENJ is transferred to the pool's `STASH` (blockchain-controlled address) and sENJ is minted to your address
* Your position is tracked on-chain
* Your sENJ is passively earning daily ENJ rewards (restaked)
* You receive Fee Reducers + Max Stack Boosters NFTs upon reaching 7 Achievement milestones

***

### Staking Flow

1. Go to `Wallet` tab on [Jinex App](https://app.jinex.io)
2. Select `Enjin Coin (ENJ)` on `Relaychain`
3. Press `Stake on a Jinex Pool`
4. Select an available Jinex Pool
5. Enter the `ENJ` amount you want to stake on the selected pool
6. Press `Stake`
7. `Approve` the transaction request in your wallet
8. Track transaction state and wait until finalization

***

### Staking Transaction States

* `SUBMITTED` → staking transaction sent
* `PENDING` → awaiting confirmation
* `SUCCESS` → completed

***

### Important Rules

Only ENJ staked **through** [**Jinex App**](https://app.jinex.io) counts toward Achievements and NFT rewards

External staking earns only ENJ from Enjin Blockchain, not Jinex NFTs

***

### Risks

* Network latency
* Validator performance

***

### Notes

* Always wait a bit before retrying
* Do NOT spam transactions
