# Migrate from CAKE Pool
If you currently have an active fixed-term CAKE staking position, you can migrate it to veCAKE to unlock all the benefits of the new veCAKE instantly.
{% hint style="warning" %}
* Migration is **one-way**, **one-time**, with all the CAKE currently in the CAKE pool position (including rewards). Partial delegation is not available.
* Migration can only be performed on an active position with more than 7 days in remaining lock time.
* You can NOT extend or add more CAKE to a migrated position. However, you can create a new veCAKE position by locking CAKE. Then, perform add CAKE or extend position on the native veCAKE staking position.
{% endhint %}
## Go to the CAKE staking page
Navigate to and connect your wallet. Please note that veCAKE staking is only available on the BNB Chain.
If you have an active, fixed-term CAKE staking position in the CAKE pool, you should see the option to migrate.
Simply click the button, and confirm the transaction in the wallet pop-up.
## Create a native position after migration
Once migrated, you should see your veCAKE balance, the number of CAKE locked, and the unlock time being updated on the left. They should be aligned with your current CAKE pool position.
However, the migrated position can not be updated. If you want to get more veCAKE, create a new native veCAKE staking position on the right by locking extra CAKE.
After creating a native position, you can start extending its lock duration, as well as adding more CAKE, using the panel on the right.
## Check the breakdown of the number of CAKE and unlock time
Once you have both migrated and native veCAKE staking positions, your veCAKE balance will be a combined number of the two. To check more details and the breakdown, simply tap/hover on the veCAKE, locked amount and unlock time.
Alternatively, you may click “View CAKE Pool Position” to go to CAKE pool for more details.
## Withdraw CAKE from CAKE staking pool
The migrated position will unlock according to its original end time. Upon unlock, go to the Pools page and, withdraw the staked CAKE; add them into veCAKE staking to boost your veCAKE balance as well as other juicy benefits.
Please note that after burning is still effective, to avoid rewards being burned, withdraw CAKE and add them to veCAKE as soon as possible when the migration position unlocks.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/welcome-to-pancakeswap/vecake-sunset/archive-vecake/migrate-from-cake-pool.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
