After submitting your containers, Aethir will perform an automated check to validate accessibility and configuration before allowing staking.

### **Stake Containers**

Once verification is complete:

1. Go to the **Aethir Atmosphere > Containers**.
2. Select one or more servers and click **Stake**.
3. Confirm the staking details. Click **Stake with Wallet**
4. Sign the transaction in your crypto wallet.

{% hint style="warning" %}
You must use the **same wallet** for all future transactions. **Ensure you’ve selected the correct one before signing.**
{% endhint %}

Once staked, your containers become active on the Aethir network and start earning ATH based on your server’s compute performance and uptime.

### Manage Containers

Go to **Aethir Atmosphere > Containers** to monitor your server health, performance, and configuration.
