# How to add more stake in Node?

{% hint style="info" %}
Currently, a total of 10,000 PLI is the maximum stake one node can have.
{% endhint %}

**Step 1:** Make sure, your node is active and the minimum staking amount is staked which is 2000 PLI

**Step 2:**  Go to the "My Nodes" Section, scroll right to your node and you should see the "Additional Stake" option

Let's see what it has and how to read

* Initial Stake indicates, total PLI that you have staked already for this node
* Top-up Stake indicates, how much you have added as additional stake
* Total Stake indicates - Summation of "Initial Stake + Top-up Stake"
* Stake allowed to Top-up indicates - how much additional PLI you can top-up, here it is 2000
* Enter the Token to Stake - Here you have to feed the number of tokens you want to stake as a top-up. 

  * This number cannot be greater than "Stake allowed to Top-up".
  * This number cannot be in decimal or fractional.
  * This number cannot be in -ve.

**Step 4** - Put the number of tokens you want to stake like below and click  "Save Changes"

**Step 7** - After, a successful transaction you should see a page like below

**"Total Stake" should sum up, the top-up value + initial stake --> here it is 4000 and the user cannot add more top-up.**

**Step 8 -**  It will also display in the dashboard, here (Staked by user -> 3000) 

Note - This user is a Bounty winner(50%), and he had a stake of 1000 initially & now after top-up (2000), it is summed up to 3000 PLI

For 90% Bounty winner, it will be 2200 PLI - after top-up

For Non-Bounty winner, it will be 4000 PLI - after top-up
