# Restake.app: A Detailed Guide to Restaking

## 1. What is RestakeApp and Why Do You Need It?

**RestakeApp** is a convenient tool in the **Cosmos ecosystem** that allows delegators to automatically reinvest (restake) their rewards. This means that instead of manually claiming and redelegating your earned tokens, the app does it for you — on schedule and with your permission granted to a validator.

### Why is this important?

When you delegate tokens (e.g., **$JUNO**), you receive staking rewards regularly. But for those rewards to start generating income as well, they need to be delegated again.

**RestakeApp** automates this process, which:

* **Increases your earnings** — thanks to the power of compound interest
* **Saves you time** — no need to repeat the same steps manually
* **Is safe** — you give only limited rights (via **authz**) that can be revoked at any time

RestakeApp works with many networks in the **Cosmos ecosystem**, including **JunoNetwork**.

> 💡 **Important:** The validator pays the transaction fees for automatic restaking. This process is completely **free for you**.

You’ll be prompted to **sign a transaction** that gives the validator permission to automatically reinvest your rewards.

> You only give permission to delegate your rewards — and only to this validator.\
> You can **revoke this permission at any time**.

After clicking the button, it will show that restake is enabled.
