MetaMask will ask for your permission to confirm the transaction, once confirmed it may take about 30 seconds.

Your stake must be equal to the approved amount. Click the Stake button and repeat the confirmation steps on the MetaMask wallet.

If you click on the **Your Current Stake** button you will be able to view the active stakes and the current fees to be paid to the platform.
