# When No TAO is Currently Staked

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open the App or Tap the Wallet Icon

The wallet icon is located on the left side of the bottom navigation bar.

### If No Funds in Wallet, Buy TAO 

If you do not have any TAO in your wallet to stake, please follow the steps in the [Funding your Wallet](/documentation/funding-your-wallet.md) support section first.

If you have funds available, please skip to step #3 below.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Tap "Stake more"

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Select Wallet and Enter Amount to Stake 

Select the wallet that you would like to use to stake to Root. Enter in USD the amount that you would like to stake. Please note that the minimum allowable stake via the app is 0.002 TAO.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Tap "Review transaction"

Ensure that all details are accurate for the stake operation. If you will have a balance of less than 0.01 TAO following the stake operation, a warning message will show. The warning message lets you know that you may need to fund your wallet with additional TAO to be able to unstake to cover any fees associated with any future unstaking operation.
