### **1. Buying and Withdrawing Fuel Tokens**

Before you start staking, you need to buy Fuel tokens on an exchange and withdraw them to the Ethereum network. Below are the withdrawal fees from different exchanges:

* **Bybit** - 250 FUEL ($2.62)
* **MEXC** - 67 FUEL ($0.70)
* **Bitget** - 280 FUEL ($2.96)
* **KuCoin** - 417 FUEL ($4.38)
* **Hotcoin** - 122 FUEL ($1.25)

In this guide, we will use MEXC, as it has the lowest withdrawal fee.

### **2. Preparing for Staking**

1. Withdraw Fuel tokens to your **Metamask** wallet on the Ethereum network.
2. Ensure you have some ETH in the Ethereum mainnet to cover transaction fees.
3. Visit the staking platform: <https://app.fuel.network/staking/on-ethereum> and connect your Metamask wallet.

3. Select the amount of Fuel tokens you want to stake and click **Approve**.
4. After approval, click **Next**, then **Confirm delegation**.
5. Confirm the transaction in Metamask and wait for it to complete (approximately 30 minutes).
