Step 1 — prepare a supported wallet
Confirm the network on which your BR is held and verify the token contract. The live governance interface determines which wallet networks and actions are supported. Do not approve an unfamiliar contract because a page merely contains the Bedrock name.
Step 2 — inspect staking parameters
Open the Stake tab and read the current minimum deposit, minimum holding period, and cooldown. A staked BR position is not instantly liquid. The interface should make the required waiting periods clear before you submit a transaction.
Step 3 — acquire veBR
Stake BR using the supported interface and review the transaction in your wallet. Your position is represented by veBR for governance accounting; the veBR balance and dynamic voting power need not be identical.
Step 4 — vote and review results
During a valid voting window, review eligible gauges, assign your weight and confirm your vote. Later, open Rewards to check whether an allocation was distributed in a subsequent phase. Participation by itself does not guarantee a particular payment.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do before voting?
Prepare a supported wallet, review the staking parameters, confirm that you have eligible veBR voting power and check the active voting window.
Does staking BR automatically cast a vote?
No. Staking can create eligible veBR governance power, but voting is a separate action performed during the applicable governance window.
