# Deposit transaction

The deposit transaction or stake transaction is part of the NULS proof of credit (POC) consensus and will allow you to lock an amount of NULS in the desired consensus node, and to be rewarded for deposit our trust in that node. We can use the following methods to set it up:

• ".address(address: string)" The address of the account that will make the deposit
• ".node(hash: string)" The hash of the consensus node where the deposit will be effectuated
• ".deposit(amount: number)" The amount of NULS (in NA's) that will be deposited in the consensus node (should be greater than 2k NULS)
