# Stake LST Suilend

> Learn to stake LST to Suilend protocool

Stake your SUI on Suilend to receive liquid staking tokens (LST). Use LSTs to earn trading fees in liquidity pools or as collateral to borrow stablecoins.

## Example Prompts

### Natural Language Prompts

```javascript theme={null}
"stake suilend 1 msui"
```

### LangChain Tool Prompts

```javascript theme={null}
// Stake 1 SUI
{
 amount: 1;
 symbol: 'msui';
}
```

## Example Implementation

```javascript theme={null}
import { SuiAgentKit } from "@getnimbus/sui-agent-kit";

async function stakeSuilend(agent: SuiAgentKit) {
  try {
    const result = await agent.stakeSuilend({
      type: "STAKING",
      amount: 1,
      symbol: "msui",
    });
    console.log("Result:", result);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Stake failed:", error);
  }
}
```

## Implementation Details

* Check user balance
* Initialize data from Suilend SDK
* Prepare the transaction payload
* Sign & execute the transaction

## Response Format

```javascript theme={null}
// Successful response
{
  tx_hash: "DHGKz1EZDnDHbiRC2P3dZd7xuLnfGdncDaBvaExyTAfM",
  tx_status: "success",
}

// Error response
{
  tx_hash: "DHGKz1EZDnDHbiRC2P3dZd7xuLnfGdncDaBvaExyTAfM",
  tx_status: "failed",
}
```

## Error Handling

```javascript theme={null}
try {
  const res = await agent.stakeSuilend({
    type: "STAKING",
    amount: 1,
    symbol: "msui",
  });
} catch (error) {
  if (error.message.includes("Insufficient balance")) {
    // Handle insufficient balance
  } else {
    // Handle other transaction failures
  }
}
```
