# Stake/Unstake

The Stake/Unstake page allows users to stake eMetis for seMetis or unstake seMetis to revert to eMetis. Here's a streamlined guide to both processes:

### Staking eMetis

#### **Step 1: Acquire eMetis**

Obtain eMetis by staking Metis on the "Mint" page (see tutorial [here](/guides/mint.md)) or purchase it on the secondary market once sufficient liquidity is available.

#### **Step 2: Stake eMetis into the seMetis Vault**

* Enter the amount of eMetis you want to stake in the "MIN.RECEIVED" field to see the equivalent seMetis you will receive.
* The right panel will display your pool share and the current eMetis to seMetis ratio.
* Click "Approve," then "Stake" to initiate the transaction.
* Confirm the transaction in the pop-up window. Once confirmed, the staking process completes, and seMetis will be added to your wallet. The ratio between eMetis and seMetis may update to reflect reward distributions, typically allowing 1 seMetis to be unstaked for more than 1 eMetis, reflecting accrued rewards.

### Unstaking seMetis

#### **Step 1: Switch to Unstake**

Toggle to the "Unstake" option using the convert icon in the form.

#### **Step 2: Unstake seMetis to Convert to eMetis**

Input the seMetis amount you want to unstake. Below the input field, you'll see:

* Estimated total converted eMetis
* Estimated received eMetis
* Estimated eMetis sent to vest, with vesting details available [here](/guides/vesting.md).

These steps ensure you can efficiently manage your eMetis and seMetis, participating actively in the rewards and opportunities within the ENKI protocol.
