**Auto SDT** automatically compounds your rewards: any SDT you earn will be harvested and re-invested in the same pool for you.

**Manual SDT** does not automatically compound like Auto SDT. You’ll need to harvest and compound your earnings manually.

**Step 2**&#x20;

Click **\[Enable]** button, and fill in the amount of SDT you want to stake, or directly stake SDT according to the balance ratio.

**Step3**

You can easily add more SDT to a  Pool, or move some SDT to a more profitable pool. Click the **-** to take some SDT out of a pool, or the + to add more to the pool.

***Notes***

*1.Unstaking from the Auto SDT pool has some fee if you unstake within 72 hours.(But now it's still 0%)*

*2.When some pools expire, we will put them in the Finish option.*
