# Make a Deposit

Once your FLR and FXRP tokens are available in your Flare wallet, you’re set to begin staking your tokens on Firelight Protocol. 

1. Navigate to the top-right corner of the Firelight Protocol interface and click on the "**Connect Wallet**" button.

3. Your chosen wallet will prompt you with a connection request. Approve the connection request in your wallet to proceed.

{% hint style="warning" %}
This initial request will ask for permission to view your wallet's address and does not grant permission to access your funds.
{% endhint %}

4. Following the initial connection, Firelight Protocol will issue a second request requiring a signature. This is a standard security measure to verify that you are the true owner of the wallet.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Approve the signature request to confirm your ownership. This action allows the protocol to interact with your funds for subsequent actions you authorize, such as deposits and withdrawals.
{% endhint %}
