# How to Stake in Pools
Staking in [Pools](/api-docs/products/pools.md) lets you earn DFI or other tokens while you sleep!
It's simpler than farming with D\&Finance's Yield Farms, because unlike the Farms, you only need to stake **one token** to start earning: usually DFI.
## **Getting started with Pool staking**
1\. Go to the Pools page [here](https://pancakeswap.finance/pools).
2\. Connect to your Binance Smart Chain-compatible wallet by clicking the **Connect** button (top right-hand side).
3\. Click **Unlock Wallet**.
4\. Choose which Syrup Pool you want to stake in.
**Auto DFI** automatically compounds your rewards: any DFI you earn will be harvested and re-invested in the same pool for you.
**Manual DFI** doesn’t automatically compound like Auto DFI. You’ll need to harvest and compound your earnings manually.
Other Pools let you stake your DFI to earn dozens of other cool tokens. Make sure you check them out.
5\. Once you choose a pool, click the **Enable** button. Your wallet will ask you to confirm the action.
6\. The Enable button should now be replaced with **Stake**. Click the button to bring up the staking menu.
7\. Type in an amount or slide the rabbit to choose how much DFI you want to stake.
8\. Click **Confirm**. Your wallet will ask you to confirm the action.
9\. The Confirm button will change to **"**Confirming", then once the transaction is successful, you’ll see your staked amount change and the button will change again.
10\. You should now be able to see details on your Syrup Pool. Auto DFI will show a countdown until the unstaking fee ends. The other pools will show a **Collect** button to claim your staking rewards into your wallet.
### **Adding and removing DFI from a pool**
You can easily add more DFI to a Pool, or move some DFI to a more profitable pool. Here’s how you can move your staked DFI.
1\. Click the **-** to take some DFI out of a pool, or the **+** to add more to the pool.
Please note that unstaking from the Auto DFI pool has a fee of 0.1% if you unstake within 72 hours.
2\. A window will open. If you clicked the **+**, choose the amount you would like to add to the pool. If you clicked the **-**, choose the amount to take out of the pool.
3\. Click **Confirm**.
4\. After a little wait, you'll be able to see your new amount of staked tokens.
