# Fixed-Term Staking

## How to use the Fixed-Term Staking option

1. Go to [Staking ](https://exchange.abstradex.xyz/pools)page
2. Connect to your wallet. Choose your wallet and connect.
3. Choose the "**Stake ABS Stake, Earn – And more!**" Pool and click the **Enable** button. 

   Your wallet will ask you to confirm the action.
4. The new window will appear with **Flexible** and **Locked**. Click the button to bring up the staking menu.

5. If you choose **Fixed-Term**, press the button and the **Lock ABS** window will appear, enter the amount of ABS you wish to stake and for how long you want to lock your ABS for.\
   \
   Below that, you will find a summary of your position, including yield, lock duration, and unlock date and time. Double-check to make sure you are okay with the lock duration and amount staked, click **Confirm,** and confirm the transaction in your wallet.

### Extending your lock staking duration

You can always extend the time of your locked ABS by simply clicking "**Extend**" and choosing how much time you want to add on top of the **initial lock duration**.&#x20;

Remember, the longer you lock, the higher your yield will be boosted. **The maximum locking duration is 52 weeks.**

Double-check to make sure you are okay with the new extended lock duration and click **Confirm**.

### Adding more CAKE to your lock

You can easily do that by renewing your fixed-term staking position. Simply click "Add ABS" and choose how much ABS you want to deposit.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please note that adding more ABS to an existing lock resets your staking term based on the remaining lock duration, essentially “renewing” your fixed-term staking position. This results in a lower yield boost because your new lock duration is lower than your initial lock duration.
