If you need to buy and bridge first, check public bridge availability and waiting. The public bridge is currently closed; these level rules do not establish an open purchase-to-bridge-to-stake route for new users.
Choose the level for your goal
Ordinary posts currently require no stake. The business rules require level 1 (Ding), 100 PXT, for news and articles; level 2 (Bing), 1,000 PXT, for videos, short videos and anime; and level 3 (Yi), 5,000 PXT, for reviews. Level 4 (Jia), 20,000 PXT, includes advanced creation and dividend permissions. A permission does not mean a feature is open or that income is guaranteed.
These amounts refer to your total stake, not a charge per submission or an amount paid again at every level. If the target is 1,000 PXT and your confirmed existing stake is 100 PXT, the difference is 900 PXT. Check the actual balance and conditions before acting.
Compare the seven levels
This level reference was prepared on 2026-10-09. Higher levels include earlier publishing permissions. Confirm feature availability and your actual permissions on staking management.
| Level | Total stake in PXT | Main permissions (includes earlier levels) |
|---|---|---|
| 0 · No stake | 0 | Browse, comment, ordinary posts |
| 1 | 100 | News and articles |
| 2 | 1,000 | Videos, short videos and anime |
| 3 | 5,000 | Review submissions |
| 4 | 20,000 | Advanced creation and dividend permissions (check availability) |
| 5 | 100,000 | Same feature scope as level 4 |
| 6 | 250,000 | Same feature scope as level 4 |
| 7 | 500,000 | Same feature scope as level 4 |
The seven reference thresholds are 100, 1,000, 5,000, 20,000, 100,000, 250,000 and 500,000 PXT. Rules and account state can change. Check the staking interface before proceeding.
Prepare available PXT
Sign in and inspect available PXT and your existing stake in the wallet. PAT, PXA and BNB Chain tokens held externally are not automatically your available platform PXT. If needed, follow the DEX and credit guide. Existing permissions do not require a repeat purchase or stake.

Stake and verify access
- Open staking management. Check the account, available balance, existing stake and desired level.
- Enter the amount to add this time and review the estimated level.
- Review the confirmation and submit once. Save the transaction hash or result. If wallet confirmation is requested, review and confirm it yourself.
- Wait for success, then check the confirmed amount, current level and permissions. A purchase balance alone does not upgrade your level.
- Open video publishing or reviews and check access. Use the relevant publishing entries for news and articles.
If access is still denied
Check transaction success, the account, the wallet and the required stake first. Refresh staking information and the target page. If a permission synchronization error persists, record and report it. Upload access may also depend on storage authorization synchronization; do not repeat a stake to work around that problem.
Check service availability when an entry is closed or a read fails.
Top-ups and unstaking
Upgrades depend on your total stake. Unstaking may lower your level and remove eligibility for future publishing or reviewing. Check the available amount, unlock or waiting requirements and the result on the screen. An application is not the same as received funds, and immediate withdrawal must not be assumed.
Staking permissions, publishing rewards, collaborator income and claimable rewards are separate checks. Dividend permission does not promise a fixed return. Keep transaction records and report problems through feedback, without submitting duplicate money operations.
Beginner walkthrough: binding, approval and staking are separate
Complete financial wallet binding, then open staking management. Select the same address and PXA mainnet (784) in MetaMask and use Connect/Refresh to read chain state. Resolve address, network or reading errors first; do not transfer funds as a diagnostic.
After entering the amount, if the button requests approval, review the spender and limit, approve in the wallet and wait for success. Return to execute Stake and confirm its separate transaction. With enough allowance, approval can be skipped. Each on-chain transaction needs native PXA fees; PXT cannot replace gas. Approval alone does not increase your stake. The off-chain binding signature is separate from both financial transactions.
If the page has a pending record, use its recovery/reconciliation entry. Supply your own transaction hash when requested instead of broadcasting another stake. Finally verify the staked amount, level and permissions. Video features can also require creator qualification: staking does not automatically approve a creator application. Check roles on the qualification page.
Beginner walkthrough: requesting unlock is not withdrawing
After requesting unlock, check the amount and withdrawal time listed on the staking page. When eligible, execute Withdraw for that record and confirm in the wallet. Requesting and withdrawing are separate transactions, each needing PXA fees. Follow chain time and the enabled action instead of assuming immediate return. Recheck balances and permissions afterward.
