> Step-by-step guide to staking SEED tokens and earning Bitcoin rewards through Garden protocol

Participate in the Garden protocol by staking [SEED](https://docs.garden.finance/docs/home/governance/tokenomics.md). Staking unlocks revenue sharing and [governance](https://docs.garden.finance/docs/home/governance/governance-process.md) power for you. If you are new, you can buy SEED [here](https://app.uniswap.org/swap?chain=arbitrum\&inputCurrency=NATIVE\&outputCurrency=0x86f65121804d2cdbef79f9f072d4e0c2eebabc08). This guide explains the staking process and the options available to you.

**1. Connect your wallet**

Open Garden's [staking](https://app.garden.finance/stake/) interface and connect your **EVM wallet**.

**2. Select staking amount**

Staking positions are created in multiples of 2,100 SEED. Use the **+ / -** buttons to select how much SEED you want to stake, then click **Stake**.

**3. Choose staking duration**

Select your preferred **Staking duration** from the drop-down menu. The longer you stake, the higher your rewards, based on the [staking multiplier](https://docs.garden.finance/docs/home/fundamentals/core-concepts/stakers.md#how-does-it-work).
