# Deposits

> Staking deposits to validator on the network

The `sui.staking.deposits` model tracks all staking deposits made to validators on the Sui network.

### Staking Process

* User selects a validator to stake with

* User delegates SUI to the validator's staking pool

* User receives pool tokens representing their stake

* Rewards automatically accumulate through an increasing exchange rate
