# How to stake for buying IDOs

### **Staking For IDO Participation**

* At Openpad AI, each IDO project will have a separate Staking phase.
* The Staking period for each project is approximately 7 days.
* When you participate in Staking, you will receive a corresponding Tier based on the amount you have Staked.
* Each Tier will come with different privileges and benefits.
* The Staking process:

  * Choose the project you want to participate in for IDO.
  * In the Pool Information section, select "Stake to Buy."

  * The system will display various Tiers and the corresponding Staked amounts.
  * You can Stake multiple times to increase your Tier under "Your Staking" during the active Staking period.

### **Unstaking:**

* After the Staking period ends and the Whitelist Winners are announced, you have the option to Unstake.
* In the "Your Staking" section, click the "Unstake" button to retrieve the amount you previously Staked.
* Unstaking will not affect your Tier for buying the specified project's IDO; your Tier will remain unchanged.
