# Manage staking

You can stake tokens on the DAO's home chain and any chain that the DAO has created a [cross-chain account](/docs/dao-management/treasury/cross-chain.md) on.

Check out our YouTube for videos for [managing staking](https://youtu.be/DQzT3T_tPF8), [claiming rewards](https://youtu.be/SLJTuZMra7c), [redelegating](https://youtu.be/Jvx6Cd48EZw), or [unstaking](https://youtu.be/NToj_x_fid8)

## Steps

[Create a proposal](/docs/dao-governance/proposals/how-to-create-a-proposal.md) and add the `Manage Staking` action from the `DAO Treasury` category.

You can choose any token native to the chains the DAO has accounts on. If you want to stake tokens on a chain that the DAO does not have an account on, you have to [create a cross-chain account](/docs/dao-management/treasury/cross-chain.md) on that chain first.

Once this proposal is passed and executed, the tokens will be staked.

## Other staking options

Aside from staking, you can also unstake, restake, claim rewards, and change the rewards withdrawal address.

### Changing the rewards withdrawal address

You can change the rewards withdrawal address to a wallet or DAO other than the DAO itself. This may be useful if you have a SubDAO that you want to receive staking rewards instead.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://dao-dao-docs.gitbook.io/docs/dao-management/treasury/staking.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
