# Staking via Apps
## Create Accounts
You can go to to setup the accounts for staking. There are two accounts in Clover: `Stash` and `Controller` . It's recommended to create two separate accounts for `Stash` and `Controller`. And you can import your existing accounts as well.
`Stash` account is the main account of holding your funds. It delegates some staking permission to the `Controller` account.
## Set Accounts and CLV Bonded
To grant the staking permissions to the `Controller` account, You need go to the `Staking/Account Actions` page. Click on the `Nominator` button.
Then the `Setup up nominator` dialogs show up:
Select your `Stash` and `Controller` accounts and set the value bonded. The payment destination options controls where the staking reward goes. Click `next` button.
{% hint style="info" %}
Do keep some balances in your stash account(aka, don't bond all of your funds). You still need some funds to pay the transaction fees.
{% endhint %}
## Select Nominators
You can select some validator candidates to nominate in the second page.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Do only select the validators you trust! Picking candidates only on their current profitability could lead to reduced profits or even loss of funds!
Misbehaved validators will be `slashed` as well as nominators who nominated them.
{% endhint %}
## Bond and Nominate
