Stake your BELA through the BELA Smart Contract to collect returns every 30 days. About 4.9 million BELA is created annually for staking rewards, and it all gets divided among the people who stake their BELA. Current stake rewards are between 2% and 3% every month (24%–36% annually).

Here are the 8 steps to staking your Bela on Metamask.

Need BELA? Purchase it at the Mercatox.com exchange.

Already have BELA on your Metamask? Skip to step 5

1. Get the Metamask plugin for Google Chrome at https://metamask.io/

2. Click Add Tokens on the left menu

3. Fill out the form with the following inputs:
Token Address: 0x2e98a6804e4b6c832ed0ca876a943abd3400b224
Token Symbol: BELA
Decimals of Precision: 18

4. Send BELA from your wallet, exchange account, or Belacam.com account to your Metamask account.

5. Go to https://etherscan.io/token/0x2e98a6804e4b6c832ed0ca876a943abd3400b224#writeContract and click “Connect to Web3”

6. In section 5 of the page, add the amount you want to stake with 18 zeros added to the end. For example, if you want to stake 255 Bela, you would write 255000000000000000000. Here’s 18 zeros to copy: 000000000000000000

7. Confirm the stakeBela function in the Metamask pop-up window. It will ask you to pay the fee in Ethereum, so you’ll need to have some Ethereum in your Metamask account.

8. After 30 days, you should run the claimStake function from the same page: https://etherscan.io/token/0x2e98a6804e4b6c832ed0ca876a943abd3400b224#writeContract. If you run the claimStake feature before those 30 days, you’ll get a partial stake reward, but not the full amount. If you run it after 30 days, you’ll get your initial amount back plus your full stake reward.
