# How to Stake and Unstake

**Stake SUI**

* You have a supported SUI Wallet installed and set up in your browser. 
  * For a list of supported SUI wallet: [Supported Wallets](/volo/liquid-staking/supported-wallets.md)

Get SUI and send it to your SUI Wallet. Follow these steps to get and send SUI tokens to your SUI Wallet:

1. Create an SUI address using the SUI Wallet.
2. Purchase SUI tokens from a supported exchange such as [Binance](https://www.binance.com/) or a decentralized exchange like on SUI such as: [Cetus](https://app.cetus.zone/), [Turbos](https://app.turbos.finance/), or [Momentum](https://app.mmt.finance/). 
3. If you bought SUI tokens from Binance, send the acquired SUI tokens to your SUI network address from the SUI Wallet. If you bought SUI tokens from a decentralized exchange like Sui Swap, there's no need to transfer the tokens to your SUI Wallet as they are already in your possession.
