# Claim DOT Rewards

How to claim your DOT pool staking rewards.

{% hint style="info" %}
When you use pool staking to stake your DOT, you need to manually claim your staking rewards. You should take note of the amount that you are claiming versus the transaction fees that it costs to execute the claiming operation.
{% endhint %}

To claim pool staking rewards you should:

1. Open the Nova Wallet application.
2. `Select` the **Staking screen**.
3. `Select` your staking position, in this case, would be **Polkadot DOT**.
4. From the Polkadot pool staking screen `select` **Claim** **rewards**.
5. Ensure that you are happy with the choice to either restake your rewards (compounding) or not. If you do not wish you restake your rewards, ensure that the toggle is in the off position and your rewards will be added to your transferable (unlocked) balance.
6. Review the contextual information including any associated fees and `select` **Confirm**.

## 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 following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.novawallet.io/nova-wallet-wiki/staking/polkadot-dot-staking-how-to-earn-staking-rewards-or-nova-wallet/polkadot-pool-staking/claim-dot-rewards.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
