</Tip>

***

## Option 1 — near-cli-rs (recommended for advanced users)

### 1. Install near-cli-rs

```bash theme={null}
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://github.com/near/near-cli-rs/releases/latest/download/near-cli-rs-installer.sh | sh
```

After installation, restart your terminal or run:

```bash theme={null}
source $HOME/.cargo/env
```

Verify the installation:

```bash theme={null}
near --version
```

### 2. Import or create your account

If you already have a NEAR account, import it:

```bash theme={null}
near account import-account using-seed-phrase
```

Or follow the interactive prompts with:

```bash theme={null}
near
```

### 3. Stake (deposit + stake in one step)

Replace `YOUR_ACCOUNT.near` and the amount:

```bash theme={null}
near staking delegation YOUR_ACCOUNT.near \
  deposit-and-stake '100 NEAR' \
  thecoding.pool.near \
  network-config mainnet \
  sign-with-keychain \
  send
```

**Example** (staking 50 NEAR):

```bash theme={null}
near staking delegation alice.near \
  deposit-and-stake '50 NEAR' \
  thecoding.pool.near \
  network-config mainnet \
  sign-with-keychain \
  send
```

### 4. Check your staked balance

```bash theme={null}
near staking delegation YOUR_ACCOUNT.near \
  view-balance thecoding.pool.near \
  network-config mainnet \
  now
```

## Option 2 — Meteor Wallet (and most browser / mobile wallets)

This works with **Meteor Wallet**, MyNearWallet, and most wallets that support NEAR staking.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your wallet">
    Open Meteor Wallet (extension, web, or mobile app) or any compatible NEAR wallet.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Go to Staking">
    Click **Stake** (or **Earn** / **Staking**) from the home screen.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create new staking / Select validator">
    Choose **Create new staking** or **Select validator**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Search for thecoding">
    In the search box, type:

    ```text theme={null}
    thecoding.pool.near
    ```

    Select **thecoding.pool.near** from the results.\
    Double-check the exact pool ID before confirming.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter amount and confirm">
    Enter how much NEAR you want to stake (leave a small amount for future transaction fees), then confirm the transaction in your wallet.
  </Step>
</Steps>
