# How to Stake

1. Enter the amount of tgUSD you want to stake. The amount of stgUSD you'll receive will be displayed below. You may notice that the amount of stgUSD is less than tgUSD — this is normal. stgUSD is a yield-bearing token, which means its value is always greater than 1 and will continue to increase over time. You can compare the USD value to see the difference.
