# Staking Tokens

We can use the `sscd` binary to stake tokens i.e. delegate the tokens to a validator belonging to SSC.

The general command is 

```
sscd tx staking delegate <validator operator address> <amount-to-stake> --from <your key>
```

The following example demonstrates a successful staking operation

```bash
$ sscd tx staking delegate sagavaloper1rdssl22ysxyendrkh2exw9zm7hvj8d2jj6rezq \
30usaga --from mykey1 \
--node <address of an SSC node e.g. tcp://134.167.114.164:26657> \
--chain-id <Chain Id of the SSC chain e.g. ssc-1>
