# Stake your METF

Staking allows you to earn **METF** passively. By staking your **METF** with **MM ETF,** you receive **more METF.**

## How to Buy **METF** 

1. Go to this [MM.Finance swap page.](https://mm.finance/swap)
2. Make sure the output currency is **METF**.
3. You can select any input currency based on your available wallet balance. We recommend **METF**-**MMF** pair for the deepest liquidity!
4. Select the amount of **METF** you want to swap for. Then click "Approve" and sign the transaction.
5. After the "Approve" transaction has been processed successfully, click "Swap" and sign the transaction.
6. You should see **METF** in your wallet balance now after the swap transaction is successful. If you cannot find it in your wallet, add **METF** contract address to your wallet.

*Note: The "Approve" transaction is only needed when you swap* **METF** *for the first time; subsequent swapping only requires you to perform the "Swap" transaction.*

## How to Stake

1. Go to the Stake page of the MM ETF website. Select the "Stake" tab.
2. Enter the amount of **METF** that you would like to stake in the input field. If you would like to stake all your **METF** , press the "Max" button and the input field will be populated with all your available **METF** balance.
3. Click "Approve" and sign the transaction.
4. After the "Approve" transaction has been processed successfully, click "Stake" and sign the transaction. Voila, you have staked your **METF**!

## How to Unstake

3. Click "Approve" and sign the transaction.
4. After the "Approve" transaction has been processed successfully, click "Unstake" and sign the transaction.
