# Activate your Membership

## Membership Activation (Staking)

Users who acquired Epik Prime Membership through staking must link their wallet address that was used to stake the token amount required for the Membership Levels.

## Membership Activation (NFT)

The initial purchase of Membership Edition would not trigger the membership level yet. Follow these steps to manually activate it.

**How-To**

a.) Click “Membership” \
b.) Scroll to “Membership editions available to activate” \
c.) Click “Activate”

If a user has been a member through staking (based on amount) and activated a member NFT, the level will be upgraded accordingly too.

## Why Can't I Activate My Membership Edition

The Membership Edition has an active cooldown timer started by a previous owner of the NFT. Holders have to wait for it to expire before they can activate it.
