# User Guide
This guide walks you through how to stake your TREE tokens via the Treehouse dApp. If you obtained TREE from an exchange, through a dApp, or as part of your airdrop allocation, this guide will help you participate in the Pre-Deposit Vaults.
### Step 1: Access the Stake module via Treehouse dApp
Access the Treehouse dApp via the official URL at [app.treehouse.finance](https://app.treehouse.finance/).
From the left sidebar, click on “Stake” to open the Pre-Deposit Vaults interface.
### Step 2: Explore Panelists
You’ll now see a list of available Panelists to stake with.
Click on a Panelist to view a brief summary of their information.
For detailed insights, view the latest published benchmark rates [here](https://dor.treehouse.finance/data/treehouse/tesr).
Once you’ve reviewed a Panelist, check the box to select them for staking.
Each vault has a maximum capacity of 1,500,000 TREE tokens.
### Step 3: Select one or multiple Panelists
Once you've chosen your Panelist(s), scroll down and click “Allocate” to proceed to the staking input page.
### Step 4: Stake TREE
Input the amount of TREE you want to stake (Minimum: 10 TREE).
Enter your desired amount and click “Confirm”.
Sign the transaction in your wallet to proceed.
A pop-up will confirm that your TREE tokens are being deposited.
## Step 5: View Dashboard
Once the deposit is complete, you’ll be redirected to your Staking Dashboard, where you can track positions and manage your staked TREE.
