## Stake with compounding and skimming validators

On the `/stake/eth` page of the dashboard, you can check the staking information about the network and stake your ETH in a few clicks with an intuitive onboarding.&#x20;

* Select the Account you want to stake on
* Choose your preferred validator type.
  * Compounding validators accept any stake amount between 32 ETH and 2048 ETH, with rewards automatically compounding into the validator's balance until reaching 2048 ETH.

  * Skimming validators require stake amounts in multiples of 32 ETH, with any excess being skimmed.

## Stake with Browser Extension wallet

Metamask and other browser extension wallers are currently supported in Kiln Dashboard. You can also connect a Ledger Nano to one of these wallets to stake with it.

## Stake with Safe

Select **WalletConnect (WC)** from the list of wallets. A **QR code** will appear, which you can scan using your **Mobile Safe App**, or you can **copy the link** (top right) and paste it into your **Safe WebApp**. Your Safe will then automatically connect to the **Kiln Dashboard**.

Now that your wallet is connected, return to the Kiln Dashboard, select your account, enter the staking amount, and initialize the transaction. You’ll then be prompted to review and sign it in your **Safe WebApp**. Ensure the details are correct, then approve the transaction.<br>

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.kiln.fi/v1/kiln-products/dashboard/staking/ethereum-eth.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
