# Staking

Staking your ENCTR allows you to earn rebase rewards through auto-compounding. By staking your ENCTR, you receive sENCTR (staked ENCTR) in return at a 1:1 ratio. After that, your sENCTR balance will increase automatically on every epoch based on the current APY.

### Stake on ENCTR App

To get to the staking screen, enter the application and click on the Stake button on the left-hand side of the drawer menu. You should then be presented with this screen.
