# Stake to Bots "in IBO" phase
Please read [here ](/dabots/bot-life-cycle-and-ibo.md)to understand about IBO phase.
When a DABot is "in IBO" phase, it is raising an initial fund for trading activity. Therefore, users can stake to bot to contribute to the target initial fund (`IBO CAP`).
It is important to understand that:
* Only users who stake to bots in IBO phase(hence, become "pioneer stake users" to contribute to bots' initial fund) can have the privilege to buy bot G-tokens. The amount of G-token that he/she can buy will be auto-computed by smart contracts based on his/her staking amount
* G-token price in IBO time is commission-free and at the `IBO price` (cheapest price). After the IBO phase, the G-token price will be sold at the `Regular price`, with price multiplier depending on bot settings.
* All users can stake a total amount up to `IBO CAP` that bots want to raise. When this amount is reached, users cannot add more staking to bots in IBO phase.
* All stakings in IBO phase cannot be unstaked when IBO is not ended yet. Users can unstake when bot in "after-IBO" phase.
* Only stakings in IBO phase can go to `VIP Vault`.
In the following example, the sToken is `sUSDT`, the DABot name is `Gemini`, this bot only accepts sUSDT for staking. The G-token name is `GemGToken`, and the C-token name is `GemsUSDT`
**Step 1:** If you are staking to a bot for the 1st time, you need to enable staking.
* Click `Enable staking` button to unlock your wallet
* Enter your wallet password and click `Confirm` button to unlock your wallet
**Step 2:** Stake to bots, because CEX DABots only accept sTokens for staking, if you are not having sTokens yet, please go to [RoboFi Treasury](/products/robofi-treasury.md) to [convert to sTokens](/user-guide/users-with-robofi-wallet/swap-to-stoken.md).
* Click the stake `(+)` button to start staking
* Enter the amount you want to stake. The amount of G-token that you can buy (aka., `"buyable gov.token"`) is automatically computed. Click `Confirm` button to stake to bot.
* Enter your wallet password and click `Confirm` to finish the transaction
* When staking is done, you can see `My stake` number.
* Click `Vault` to see how many bot's C-tokens you are having in the `VIP Vault`. This is the "certificate" of your staking.
* These C-tokens are locked in `VIP Vault` to compute and distribute rewards when bot's trader adds overall rewards.
* Only staking in-IBO phase can go to `VIP Vault` which will get a higher reward weight(1.2) comparing to `Regular Vault` (weight 1) and `Warm-Up Vault` (weight 0.8)
* If you withdraw your C-tokens out of `VIP Vault` to your RoboFi Wallet, those C-tokens (in wallet) will not be counted for any rewards. If you deposit your C-tokens from your RoboFi Wallet back to Vault, you can only deposit to `Regular Vault` and cannot deposit back to `VIP Vault`.
* Now you can [buy G-token](/user-guide/users-with-robofi-wallet/buy-g-tokens.md) if you wish. You can see the max amount of G-token that you can buy below, this number is auto-computed (by smart contracts) based on your staking. In this example you can buy maximum 50 `GemGToken`.
The total amount of crypto staking assets (for example, sUSDT) that all users have staked to this bot will be shown in the `"Total Value Staked"` (with value marked to USD) when viewing bot details.
[Understanding more about Vaults for C-tokens](/user-guide/vaults/vaults-for-c-tokens.md)
Basically, all C-tokens are kept in [Vaults](/user-guide/vaults/vaults-for-c-tokens.md) to be computed for, and distributed staking rewards. Later, users can:
* [Harvest rewards from C-tokens](/user-guide/users-with-robofi-wallet/harvest-rewards/harvest-rewards-from-c-tokens.md)
* Or, [unstake from DABots](/user-guide/users-with-robofi-wallet/unstake-from-dabots.md).
