# Lease Waves Tokens
# Introduction
LPoS (Leased Proof of Stake) gives you the opportunity to make the network stronger and safer while receiving Waves and other assets as a reward for doing so. This is called Leasing.
Most people don't have 1000 WAVES to run their own node, but they are still able to help the project by leasing their Waves to someone who is able to run a node.
The biggest nodes pay to their users in one week cycle. The LPoS reward depends on the conditions of the selected pool. We do not regulate the payment process, so before using LPoS service, please carefully read the terms of payment and do your investigation of the pool that you want to use. The terms can vary between LPOS pools.
Please use the list of nodes – forum.wavesplatform.com/c/pools.
# How to Lease Your Waves
Open the installed app and at the top-left corner of the interface tap Leasing to go to the Leasing tab.

The leasing screen has two editable boxes: one to specify the recipient address which would be the address of any mining pool, another one to specify the amount you are willing to lease.
Fill in the boxes and tap Start Lease.
In the Confirmation screen that will open next, check the entered data and tap Confirm.
Once you confirm the lease, you will be forwarded to the main Leasing page. There you will see the status of active leases.
To check the history of all leases tap Transaction history.
