**Describe the problem:**  
Token: ETHPad  
During the process of ‘staking’, one also claims ones existing rewards. Koinly sees this as an exchange of ETHPad for ETH but its actually the action of Staking ETHPad as well as claiming ones ETH rewards.

**Which exchange/wallet is this regarding?**  
Metamask/ERC20/BEP20

**How did you import data into this wallet?**  
Sync by wallet address

**What have you tried to fix this so far?**  
Set as ‘Sent to Pool’ - but I am not given the option, only ‘Tag as Swap’ - but its not a swap. I am receiving ETH rewards for an existing pool of ETHPad I have staked while staking more ETHPad.

Need help on this one too. All available evidence, in addition to Koinly’s article on [Staking](https://help.koinly.io/en/articles/4928636-staking) state that the coins are still mine and that I need to manually change the transaction to “Sent to Pool” so that I don’t have a tax event. Following this advice, I staked ETH to RocketPool and Koinly is recognizing the event as a “Trade” and considering the transaction as gains. This needs to be fixed immediately for tax season.
