2. **Obtain Sepolia ETH**:
   * Visit the [Sepolia ETH faucet](https://docs.soneium.org/docs/builders/tools/faucets) and request Sepolia ETH to cover transaction fees.

#### Step 2: Access the Pool Page

1. Open your browser and navigate to [SoneX Pool](https://testnet.sonex.so/staking-pools).
2. Ensure you are connected to a stable internet connection.

#### Step 3: Stake Tokens

1. **Select the Token and Enter Amount**:

   * On the staking page, choose the token you wish to stake from the dropdown menu.

#### Understanding the APR Calculator Tool

The **APR Calculator** is a valuable tool to estimate your potential staking rewards based on the amount of tokens staked, the duration of staking, and the Annual Percentage Rate (APR).

**How to Use the APR Calculator**:

1. **Access the Calculator**:

   * The APR Calculator is available on the staking page. Look for the calculator icon.

   <figure><img src="https://496052747-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FY8C0yYsHEFGFDQ8IE6uK%2Fuploads%2FwYvfurVzlGO9X15gNx0M%2F%E6%88%AA%E5%9C%96%202024-12-11%2002.32.49%20(1).png?alt=media&#x26;token=7abfb9cd-be22-4237-8c9b-1f9fea5046e2" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
2. **Input Staking Details**:

   * Enter the number of tokens you plan to stake.
   * Specify the staking duration (e.g., 7 days, 30 days, etc.).
   * The APR value will be displayed automatically, or you can adjust it if needed.

   <figure><img src="https://496052747-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FY8C0yYsHEFGFDQ8IE6uK%2Fuploads%2Fh0HMxj9752iiNgTg3ebk%2F%E6%88%AA%E5%9C%96%202024-12-11%2002.32.08.png?alt=media&#x26;token=3be0475e-e6c2-4c57-9367-e2dee87aaa10" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
3. **Review Reward Estimates**:
   * The calculator will display the estimated rewards based on your input.
   * Use this estimate to plan your staking strategy and decide on the optimal amount and duration for staking.

**Note**: The APR Calculator provides estimates only and may vary based on network conditions and staking pool performance.

***

#### Troubleshooting Tips

* **Insufficient Sepolia ETH**:
  * If you don’t have enough Sepolia ETH for gas fees, visit the [Sepolia ETH faucet](https://docs.soneium.org/docs/builders/tools/faucets) to request more.
* **Approval Delays**:
  * Approvals and staking transactions on the testnet may take a few minutes. Be patient.
* **Incorrect Wallet Configuration**:
  * Ensure your wallet is connected to the **SoneX Testnet** before attempting to stake.

***

#### Additional Notes

* Tokens received from the faucet are for **testing purposes only** and have no real-world monetary value.
* Always ensure you are on the correct and secure SoneX Testnet website.

By following this guide, you can easily collect tokens on the SoneX Faucet page and start exploring the SoneX Testnet environment!
