# Overview

The Staking app is the home for securing the network and earning staking rewards. From here you can choose a validator to delegate your BZE to, claim the rewards you earn, and unstake when you want to.

Staking keeps your coins in your control the whole time — you are simply choosing a validator to back. In return, you receive a share of the network rewards, including the new coins created through inflation.

Start with the first guide to pick a validator and stake, then use the second to claim rewards, unstake, and move your stake around.
