# Approve extended stake Our last step from the demo is to approve a request made by a node operator for **73,024** ETNY tokens from the total extended pool of **100,000** ETNY tokens. This action has to be done by the staker. We assume we are connected to the staking dApp already as shown in the [Connect wallet to dApp section](/staking-dapp/connect-wallet-to-dapp.md). We can see the node operator's request in the *Pending* section as shown below.

We are going to approve this request by clicking on the *Approve* button. A pop-ul will show up where we are going to confirm the *Reward wallet address* which was introduced when the extended staking pool was initially created.

After clicking on the *Agree* button, we just have to confirm the MetaMask transaction as shown below.

After the transaction is submitted to the blockchain we can see it in the *Approved* section as shown below.

That's it! Now we have an active staking contract between a staker and a node operator. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
