2. Click On Wallet
Now go to the wallet on the header, place your cursor, and a drop-down menu of options comes up. Look for “Fiat and Spot”. Click on it. And this will take you to the “fiat and Spot” page.
3. Fiat and Spot Page
You will see the list of coins and the number of coins you hold. Then there is an Action column, which provides options like buy, deposit, withdraw, trade, earn, and convert. However, our concern is with “Earn”; therefore, let’s focus there. First, find the Shiba Inu coin, and click on Earn.
Note that you must have Shiba Inu in your Binance Wallet.
4. Click on Locked Staking
Now locked staking is the process of holding your coins for periods like thirty, sixty, or ninety days. After the duration period, the actual number of coins is transferred back to your wallet. Remember that the estimated total amount of interest earned increases with an increased duration period. Also, when staking, you must have a minimum number of coins to enter the process of staking.

5. Click on Stake
Once you click on stake, you have a complete summary of your transaction, depending upon the number of coins you are locking up. For illustration, I have taken 10000000 SHIBA coins for 90-days. Although I will be receiving interest daily, the estimated APY will be adjusted daily based on the on-chain staking rewards.
6. Confirm The Details
Once you go through all the details and summary of your interest earnings, click on confirm, and you will have your coins staked. Remember, once the coins are staked, you won’t be able to see your Shiba Inu in your fiat and spot window. So, to see where did your coin go? Follow the next step.
7. Go To Earn
Take your cursor on the wallet, click on Earn, and then go to “Locked staking” and finally click on “Locked.” You will see your coin here locked. Here on this page, you will have all the details of your staking, the subscription date, locked period, Interest end date, and so forth. Note that the interest earned is the number of Shiba Coins.
8. Early Redemption
Yes, if, for some reason, you wish to redeem your principal coins, you can do that by clicking on Redeem. You can find this option by following this: Go to earn > locked staking > locked > look on the footer, and you have the redeem button. However, you wouldn’t receive the interests earned if you redeem earlier. Thus, your principal amount will be redeemed in your wallet.
How to Stake or Earn Shiba Inu on ShibaSwap?
To stake and earn Shiba Inu on ShibaSwap, you must have Shiba coins in your Metamask or any other Ethereum based wallet. In addition, to Shiba coins, you must also have some Ethereum in your wallet. You need some Ethereum due to gas fees.
1. Let’s Get Started!
The first step is to go to the official webpage of ShibaSwap. Once you land on the webpage, you will see various options like DIG, NFTS, BURY, SWAP, etc. First, however, we will execute our staking procedure on the option “BURY.”
2. Connect Your Wallet!
Here we will be using the Metamask wallet. As you can see in the image below, we have our Metamask wallet connected to the Ethereum network.
3. Click On Bury
Once the wallet is connected, take your cursor to Bury, and then you must click on stake. You will be taken to the Bury page immediately, where you will have three options like Bury Shib, Bury Leash, and Bury Bone. Since we have to bury our Shiba coins to earn Shiba Inu. So we will click on “Bury Shib.”
4. Click on Buy Shib
As soon as you click on “Buy Shib,” the platform shows you the tokens you hold in your specific wallet and its current total value in dollars at the moment. However, the total buried shows its information once the procedure is complete. Here you will also see your estimated interest earned, which here in the image above shows it to be 566.68%.
5. Choose How Much You Wish To Stake!
Now there are four ways in which you can stake. You can either stake 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% of your Shiba Coins.
6. Hit On Approve
Hit the “approve” button; once you decide how much you plan to stake. You have to confirm this again with your wallet, which will show you the gas fees in Ethereum. Note that the charges keep fluctuating. So do consider the charges, and you may wait for some time till the charges reduce if it is pretty high.
Disclaimer:
The platform does not really bury your coins the first time you hit the approve button. The Shiba coins remain in your wallet. However, the charges as a gas fee showed are charged.
To stake on ShibSwap for the first time, you will have to pay the charges twice. This is because the first charges are charged on the first transaction. This is made to simply approve you on the platform.
Once the first charges are charged, you must repeat the procedure mentioned above. This time, you won’t have the option to “approve” Instead, it will show “stake.” Note that you will again be charged in Ethereum as a gas fee. Note that the second transaction and gas fees will bury your coins and stake them.
7. You Have Your Coins Buried
The transaction may take a few minutes. Once the transaction is processed, ShibSwap shows your buried coins. So you have it there on the top.
