How can I top up a neuron?

After you create a neuron, you can increase the number of ICP utility tokens you have staked in that neuron to increase your voting power and rewards. For example, if you initially stake a small number of ICP utility tokens, then decide to purchase additional tokens, you have the option to create a new neuron or "top-up" your existing neuron.

To increase the stake in an existing neuron:

Step 1: On the NNS dapp, go to the Neuron Staking tab and then the table Staked ICP. Then click on a neuron.

Step 2: Click Increase Stake.

Step 3: Type the amount of ICP utility tokens you want to add to the specified neuron, then click Continue.

Step 4: Verify the transaction details, then click Send Now.

Step 5: Once the transaction has completed, you will see the increased stake value.
