# Staking cvxTKNs

{% hint style="warning" %}
For each staking contract, you can deposit **`ETH`**, the naked underlying token, the Convex's **`cvxTKN`**, or the gauge receipt token (**`stkcvxTKN`**). As a result, if your funds are already deposited on Convex, it is not needed to withdraw before entering the staking pools.

1. Select the token that you want to deposit and enter an amount;
2. Choose between minting **`cvxCRV`** with **`CRV`**, or swapping **`CRV`** for **`cvxCRV`**. Swapping may results in getting more **`cvxCRV`** if the peg is below 1;
3. Choose if you want to stake your **`CVR`** deposit on Convex. Not staking is less expensive in gas, but a 0.25% deposit fee will be charged;
4. Click the <mark style="color:yellow;">`Approve`</mark> button, and then the <mark style="color:yellow;">`Stake`</mark> button.
