!> The Stacking implementation is still in development and could change in the coming weeks
In this guide, you'll learn how to use the Stacks CLI to participate in stacking. The CLI is a great way to quickly try out stacking on testnet. To integrate stacking into your application, see the [stacking integration guide](/stacks-blockchain/integrate-stacking).

## Get Testnet Tokens Using The Faucet
Use the following `curl` command to request tokens from the testnet node's faucet endpoint.
Note that we used the address we generated above as a parameter.

## Check Stacking Eligibility
Before we send the stacking transaction, we will need to check if we're eligible for stacking.

This check ensure that we meet the minimum threshold amount of STX required in order to participate in stacking.
This check ensures that we meet the minimum threshold amount of STX required in order to participate in Stacking.
The arguments required for the `can_stack` command are:
1. Amount to stack in microstacks, we'll use the entire balance in our account.
`90000000000000`
2. Number of reward cycles to lock up your tokens for stacking, we'll use 10 here.
`10`
3. BTC address to receive stacking rewards. We can use any valid BTC address.
`mqkccNX5h7Xy1YUku3X2fCFCC54x6HEiHk`
4. The address that we will be stacking with. We'll use the address generated previously.
`ST1P3HXR80TKT48TKM2VTKCDBS4ET9396W0W2S3K8`
