* In the Google Chrome extension, open the wallet from the extensions tab and select "Create new account."
* Choose a mnemonic seed (12 or 24 words), note it down safely, then create a username and password.
* Re-enter the Mnemonic Seed to finish setting up your account in Keplr Wallet.

### **Step 2: Depositing IRIS in Your Wallet**

* Access your Keplr account using the password you created.
* Click on "Deposit" button, and search for "IRIS"

* Note that you can start by earning some IRIS on [**Final Autoclaim**](https://autofaucet.dutchycorp.space/), that's a free way to get your first staking bag without buying anything.

### **Step 3: Staking Your IRIS Tokens**

* Go to the [**SpaceStake Delegation link**](https://wallet.keplr.app/chains/irisnet?modal=validator\&chain=irishub-1\&validator_address=iva177aauu7fr6l7xw0k3m06lu9h5xenxrlj9cshp9),  this will redirect you to Keplr website.
* Click on "Stake" button.
* Enter the amount of IRIS you wish to stake and click “Stake” again.
* Confirm the transaction on Keplr by clicking on the "Approve." button
* Your staking status and rewards can now be mo**n**itored.

### **Step 4: Automatically Restake Your IRIS staking rewards**

**Our validator is compatible with automatic restaking system via REStake  (**[**restake.app**](https://restake.app/irisnet/iva177aauu7fr6l7xw0k3m06lu9h5xenxrlj9cshp9/stake)**).**

**By enabling restaking, all your IRIS rewards from staking will be automatically delegated to your staking balance once you reach the minimum required reward (0.5 IRIS).**

REStake only re-delegates SpaceStake's accrued rewards and tries not to touch your balance.

**How to enable Restaking:**

* Go to the [**SpaceStake Restaking link**](https://restake.app/irisnet/iva177aauu7fr6l7xw0k3m06lu9h5xenxrlj9cshp9/stake)**,** this will redirect you to the reskake.app pag&#x65;**.**
* Click the "Enable REStake" Button

* **Set the expiry date**; after this date, the system will not be able to automatically delegate your rewards anymore.

* Click the "Enable REStake" button, and sign the transaction on your wallet.

At this step, you must see your grant status as "**Active**", that means you successfully enabled restaking, congratulation!&#x20;

Each 4 hours, we will check if your staking rewards are higher than **0.5 IRIS**, if yes, your rewards will be automatically re-delegated, so you will earn more.
