\+ Icon to press to add decimal places

As NLG has 18 Decimal places, after clicking the “_+_” icon, click on “_select_”, shown below:

Highlighted Drop Down list to click on

In the drop-down list that shows after clicking “_select_”, choose option 10¹⁸, shown below:

![Add 18 decimal places](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/7d259ce8ea908c2a7e45a69826e17bc1c48c280627ab4b9a46ce5b8152ff117d.png)

Add 18 decimal places

After click the above, click on “_Add_” and it will add 18 zeroe’s to the number you entered to be staked, this is completely normal and necessary as NLG has 18 decimal places, example below:

The above means 25 NLG, as the 18 zeroe’s are after the comma meaning decimal places, reads as 25.000000000000000 or just 25.  
  
Click on “_write_” approve the transaction in your wallet and you will have staked your NLG!
