# Turing Staking Guide
How to stake TUR tokens (OAK Network)
## Step 1 - Account
Follow the link to [Turing Accounts Page](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Frpc.turing.oak.tech#/accounts), it assumes you have [Polkadot.js extension](https://polkadot.js.org/extension/) installed and account having TUR tokens configured. Please click on the images to zoom.
## Step 2 - Developer -> Extrinsics
Next, on the top menu, click on Developer -> Extrinsics, or [follow this link](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Frpc.turing.oak.tech#/extrinsics)
1. Select the account with TUR balance (if you have just one account it will be automatically selected)
2. In `submit the following extrinsic` find and select `parachainStaking`from the dropdown
3. In next dropdown find and select *`delegate(candidate, amount, candidateDelegationCount, delegationCount)`*
4. In `candidate: AccountId32` input the Collator address with whom you want to stake, you can find the collators on click the copy icon next to their address\ Tip: You can stake with pathrocknetwork with following address: `6BkqEuMXuNYzssdPQYpo4eVbcA2756RdfBHbSAvgj5FFZx71`\
5. In `amount: u128 (BalanceOf)` field input the TUR amount, the amount should be multiplied by 10000000000.\
for example if you want to stake 50 TUR the amount to input will be: `50 * 10000000000 = 500000000000`\ Please remember the minimum amount to stake is 50 TUR
6. In `candidateDelegationCount: u32` field, go to and note down the value in your position / Delegations column (you should take the value of Delegation which is in 2nd row) as shown in the image below, please note that this value can change, so always refresh the page and get the latest value before submitting the transaction\
7. The `delegationCount: u32` the field represents your previous delegations, if you are delegating for the first time then leave it as 0, in case of 2nd delegation, input 1... and so on...
8. Finally, press 'Submit Transaction' button and sign the transaction with Polkadot.js wallet extension, in a few seconds the transaction should be thorugh and you should see a confirmation message and the top right of the screen
## Step 3 - Confirmation
You can head over to the [following link](https://turing.stg.subscan.io/) and input your TUR wallet address, at bottom you can see Extrinsics with Action: [parachainstaking (delegate)](https://turing.stg.subscan.io/extrinsic?module=parachainstaking\&call=delegate) and Result column with a green tick mark. Congratulation you have successfully staked your TUR tokens.

# Increase Bond
How to increase the stake value
If you want to stake more TUR to a collator you have already staked, you can use `delegatorBondMore(candidate, more)` function under [parachainStaking option here](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Frpc.turing.oak.tech#/extrinsics)
As seen in image above
1. Select your wallet account
2. Select `paraChainStaking` from the dropdown
3. select `delegatorBondMore(candidate, more)`
4. paste the validator Collator address with whom you previously staked
1. in case of pathrocknetwork you can use the following address: `6BkqEuMXuNYzssdPQYpo4eVbcA2756RdfBHbSAvgj5FFZx71`
5. in more: field input the amount you want to stake, remember to multiply it by 10000000000 for example if you want to stake 50 TUR the amount to input will be: `50 * 10000000000 = 500000000000`
6. Press Submit Transaction button
{% hint style="success" %}
You can head over to the [following link](https://turing.stg.subscan.io/) and input your TUR wallet address, at the bottom you can see Extrinsics with Action: parachainstaking (delegator\_*bond\_*more) and Result column with a green tick mark.

# Decrease Bond
How to decrease the stake value
{% hint style="danger" %}
Decrease bond takes two transactions, the first one is to schedule less bond function and after waiting for 24 rounds (approx 48 hours) you have to execute Delegation Request function, please follow the guide below
{% endhint %}
## Step 1 - Schedule
If you want to unstake some of your TUR from a collator you previously staked, you can use `scheduleDelegatorBondLess(candidate, less)` function under [parachainStaking option here](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Frpc.turing.oak.tech#/extrinsics)
As seen in the image above
1. Select your wallet account
2. Select `paraChainStaking` from the dropdown

5. in less: field input the amount you want to unstake, remember to multiply it by 10000000000 for example if you want to stake 50 TUR the amount to input will be: `50 * 10000000000 = 500000000000`
6. Press Submit Transaction button
{% hint style="success" %}
You can head over to the [following link](https://turing.stg.subscan.io/) and input your TUR wallet address, at the bottom you can see Extrinsics with Action: parachainstaking (schedule\_delegator\_bond\_less) and Result column with a green tick mark. you have successfully triggered the unstaking function. Now wait 24 rounds (approx 48 hours) and follow the following steps
{% endhint %}
## Step 2 - Execute
Once 48 hours are over, you can use `executeDelegationRequest(delegator, candidate)` function under [parachainStaking option here](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Frpc.turing.oak.tech#/extrinsics)
1. Select your wallet account
