i was wondering how to start but while going through a few post on the platform , i came across a write up by [@peckypeace, NEWBIE GUIDE ON SPS STAKING](https://ecency.com/hive-167922/@peckypeace/newbies-guide-how-to-stake-your-first-usdsps-in-splinterlands).That has been a see through compass for me, that gave me direction on how to go about as a newbie.
 
I have also gone through a few post made by @uyobong, @mawit07 and @etorobong that has been of help too, today i am Starting my journey on the splinterlands world with just a little amount of SPS token, and i refuse to look down on my days of little beginning. 
 
Today i will be starting my journey with a little amount of about 56.663 SPS, like i said, am very new to the community and really need to be guided, but today i will be sharing my experience on how made my first Sps stake. 

# How I bought My first Sps Token:

basically being that i am new, i did not have the token in my wallet, I had some HBD, so i had to swap my HBD to engage the process and that will need the tool of [TRABALDEX.COM](https://tribaldex.com/) :https://tribaldex.com/dieselpools/?from=SWAP.HIVE&to=SPS. that is were i swapped my HBD by depositing it to my Trabaldex.com.

-  Deposit my HBD to my Trabaldex wallet.

when you have done that it will help you convert your HBD to your swapHBD, so as to make it available on the swap list.

-  Swap my HBD to SwapHive

Then you can now convert or swap to Swap-hive, so that you can use it to buy SPS token from the [Hive-engine](https://hive-engine.com/), when i did that  successfully it will also reflect on my Splinterlands wallet

# Transferring From Hive-engine to Splinterlands wallet:

I transfered my SPS token, found on my Hive-engine wallet to the SPS wallet on my splinterlands frontend, you can find it on the photos below.

I Selected  the wallet where my SPS is, and filled the  the amount of SPS to be transferred. 
Click TRANSFER IN.

since the transferred token did not show, i had to refresh my page to see that the balance has displayed,  as you can see, it has moved from hive-engine wallet to in-game Liquid. still on the splinterlands frontend.

# Staking my SPS Token:

All the process i had to go through was to finally stake the token, just as seen on the arrow, you click on the stake button and follow the promptings.

I Clicked the STAKE button and followed the page that appeared

![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmezckgzWm3SnrzvyPydBjBan261xQMfTdQqbM4JarNxHw/image.png)

Fill in the amount of SPS you wish to stake and click the STAKE button.
Then refresh the page and the SPS amount now shows in the staked section.
