If you think Solar Farms are too complicated and you'd rather go with something simpler, then Galaxy Pools are perfect for you.

Follow the instructions below to learn how you can make your $ASTRO work for you.

## **Choose your Galaxy Pool**

After ensuring your wallet is connected and you've picked the right network, choose which Galaxy Pool you'd like to stake your $ASTRO in.

Let's look at our first two pools before moving on to the process of staking.

How are **Auto $ASTRO** and **Manual $ASTRO** different? It's simple. 

The **Auto $ASTRO** pool works like a Vault where the users' rewards are re-staked automatically as they're accrued to give you instant compounding.

The **Manual $ASTRO** pool works exactly the same but, as its name indicates, the users have to manually re-stake the rewards they harvest for them to compound.

Conquer the Galaxy and stake your claim with the Astronauts with future missions to expand the Galaxy pools in the future will go through the following process.

After you have chosen your preferred Pool, click on it and hit the "Expand" button before confirming the action in your wallet.

Type in your chosen amount or slide the knife to choose how much $ASTRO you want to stake. Then, hit "Confirm" and do the same on your wallet.

You have now staked your $ASTRO! 

### **Adding and removing $**ASTRO

Adding and removing $ASTRO to a pool is incredibly easy. Just click on your chosen pool and click on "+" or "-" depending on what you'd like to do.

Please note, that unstaking from the Auto $ASTRO Galaxy Pool will incur a 0.1% for the first 72 hours. 

The staking menu will appear. After you have chosen how much you'd like to add or remove, click on "Confirm" and confirm that action in your wallet as well

That's it. You are ready for your first space walk, go explore the Galaxy Pools of AstroSwap. 

The journey of your life!
