On the next screen you'll see the **Amount** of your stake, **Network fee** you'll need to pay, and the r**ewards destination** section . Make sure everything's correct before pressing the **Continue** button

The **Collators** section gives you two options:

* **Collators suggested by the algorithm** will show a list of those that are better reputable and more profitable as well as most trustworthy (this list can change over time)
* **Stake with known collators** section will show you the list of all available collators, you will be able to filter or search the list based on different criteria.

After you have selected your collator and pressed **Continue**, you will get a confirmation window that will provide you with a summary of your reward payout selection, and the collator you've chosen. Review the network fee and if you're happy with it, press **Confirm**

After confirming, you will be returned to the main staking screen where all the details about your stake will be displayed. Now you're welcome to either **manage your stake** (*in case you'd like to change its **amount***), or also change your **collator** (*if you're not happy with your current choice*)

### Manage your Stake

If you click on **Your stake** section, you'll be able to manage your stake by either changing your stake amount on the **Staking balance** tab, or by selecting a new collator on the **Your collator** tab

### Analytics

If you return to the main staking screen, you'll see the **Analytics** section. It consists of a chart that shows you the amount of rewards you got in the last 7 days

![](https://1929423428-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MiaqvxVtQSUrWb72Fsv%2Fuploads%2FotouiMuLluT3uaY1o5Kd%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=f54ab37b-9534-42e4-8ee8-0c4580a255d3)
