# Stake WAVES (mobile)
# Introduction
Most users don't have 1000 WAVES to run their own node, but they can help the project by staking WAVES to someone who is able to run a node. Staked WAVES are not transferred to another account, but remain on the sender's balance, however, they are 'frozen' and cannot participate in the buying and selling operations, as well as they cannot be sent to another account. Staking can be cancelled at any time to 'unfreeze' the staked WAVES. The Proof of Stake technology allows to make network stronger and safer and get reward in return. Every staking pool offers its own annual income and payout frequency conditions.
Please use the list of nodes – forum.wavesplatform.com/c/pools (opens new window).
