# Get stGLINT

To start earning rewards via staking, you should first get some stGLINT balance. You can obtain it by:

1[ Converting GLINT to stGLINT](#75f2) or

2 [Converting SHARE to stGLINT](#6b5b)

## 1 Convert GLINT to stGLINT <a href="#id-75f2" id="id-75f2"></a>

In the [Beamswap v3 app](https://app.beamswap.io/exchange/braindex), in the top menu, navigate to **stGLINT** and click **Dashboard.** Or, go to <https://app.beamswap.io/dashboard>.

Under the **Convert** tab, enter the amount of GLINT you want to convert, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.

## 2 Convert SHARE to stGLINT <a href="#id-6b5b" id="id-6b5b"></a>

To swap [SHARE](https://docs.beamswap.io/beamswap-v2/beamshare-retired) for stGLINT, you have two options:

2.1 [Using the Migrate tool](#71aa)

2.2 [Migrating SHARE manually](#b65e)

### 2.1 Convert SHARE to stGLINT using the Migrate tool <a href="#id-71aa" id="id-71aa"></a>

Under **stGLINT** in the top menu, click **Migrate,** or visit <https://app.beamswap.io/migrate>.

Input the amount of SHARE to convert, and click the **Migrate** button.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** By clicking Migrate, all of your SHARE balance, including the one staked in SHARE Farms, will be automatically converted to stGLINT. You can convert your stGLINT tokens back to GLINT gradually within a [15 to a 90-day vesting period,](https://docs.beamswap.io/products-and-features/stglint/..#f004) with a 50% to 100% ratio.

Early redemptions are allowed but incur a penalty and permanently remove the remaining GLINT from circulation via burning.
{% endhint %}

### 2.2 Convert SHARE to stGLINT with manual migration <a href="#b65e" id="b65e"></a>

To manually migrate SHARE and obtain stGLINT, navigate to **Earn > Beamshare (old)** or click <https://app.beamswap.io/beamshare>.

Click **Unstake** and **Unstake** again to cancel the staking status of your SHARE tokens. Confirm the transaction in your wallet.
