# 10.4 Selecting Node Type and Staking Amount
After connecting the wallet, the user is presented with staking options corresponding to node roles.
At this stage, the platform allows the user to choose between Sync and Vault participation (and Cluster where applicable). Once a role is selected, the user must enter the staking amount.
The platform enforces the required staking increments:
* For Sync nodes, the entered value must be a multiple of 2,500 FreCx. For example, 2,500, 5,000, 7,500, and so on.
* For Vault nodes, the entered value must be a multiple of 1,000 FreCx, such as 1,000, 2,000, or 10,000.
If an invalid amount is entered, the platform will reject the input or prevent the transaction from being executed.
This validation ensures that all staking aligns with protocol-defined thresholds.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.frequencychain.org/10.-staking-rewards-and-economic-participation/10.4-selecting-node-type-and-staking-amount.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
