Staking lets you put extra conviction behind a vote when you really mean it. A regular tap says you agree. Staking says I'd put my reputation on this.
Where to find it: Open the More menu (the ... menu) on any post or comment and choose Stake your vote.
How to stake
- Open the ... menu on the post or comment and pick Stake your vote.
- Choose Upvote or Downvote.
- Pick a tier. Vote is the free, standard vote. Higher tiers like Endorse, Boost, Bet hard, and All in carry more weight, and steeper consequences if your network disagrees. Some tiers stay locked until you've earned enough trust.
- Press Stake to confirm.
What happens next
A plain Vote counts in your network the same way a regular UpTrust or DownTrust always has. If you pick a higher tier, the site records your stake, but the engine that resolves stakes is still being rolled out. Until it's live, the app tells you the stake is registered and will resolve once the engine is online. So feel free to stake the things you believe in, just know the payoff and the cost arrive later.
Good to know
You can't stake on your own posts or comments, the same as regular voting.
