1. Open the Nova Wallet application.
2. `Select` the **Staking screen**.
3. `Select` your staking position, in this case, would be **Vara VARA**.
4. From the Vara 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 you should 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**.
