# Staking

## Stake any amount of ETH

{% hint style="info" %}
*Used to stake any amount of ETH into the pool.*
{% endhint %}

This can only be executed by calling a smart contract method:

```bash
cast send $INTEGRATION_CONTRACT_ADDRESS "stake()" --value $AMOUNT_TO_STAKE_IN_ETH
```

***

## Get the amount of shares from integration contract by wallet

{% hint style="info" %}
*Used to find the amount of shares for a given wallet from the integration contract*
{% endhint %}

**Using the smart contract view methods**

```bash
cast call $INTEGRATION_CONTRACT_ADDRESS "balanceOf(address)(uint256)" $USER_ADDRESS
```

***

## Get the current value of a user's staked position

{% hint style="info" %}
Allows you to obtain the value (in ETH) of the users current staked position
{% endhint %}

For example, consider the scenario where a user staked 12 ETH several months ago. Every time they visit your app, you want to showcase the current value of the staked position accounting for the accrued value from staking rewards over time. 

You can simply query the smart contract with the users wallet.

**Using the smart contract view methods**

```bash
cast call $INTEGRATION_CONTRACT_ADDRESS "balanceOfUnderlying(address)(uint256)" $USER_ADDRESS
```

**Using TheGraph queries**

<summary>Query</summary>

```graphql
{

    totalSupply
    totalUnderlyingSupply
    balances(where:{staker:"USER_ADDRESS"}) {

    }
  }
}
```

**Example query**

```graphql

# 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/onchain/pooled-staking/how-to-integrate/staking-interactions/staking.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.
