\*other Syrup Pools aren’t affected
{% endhint %}

## How to migrate?

![At the time of the migration, Chefs will deploy a step-by-step helper to walk you through the process ](https://2908774936-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MHREX7DHcljbY5IkjgJ-1972196547%2Fuploads%2FRHR6J38gksMrGCDdx3nD%2Fmigration-helper-overview.png?alt=media\&token=25e36b18-895d-4468-97dd-e8c52ef4a0e5)

### 1. Navigate to the migration helper

Go to <https://pancakeswap.finance/migration>, and connect your wallet.

### 2. Unstake from the old farms

There are two steps in the migration helper. In the first step, you should see a list of three CAKE syrup pools and farms you are currently staking.

Click "**Unstake All**" on each of the farms and pools to unstake all your assets.

After unstaking, click "**Go to Stake**" to proceed to step 2.

### 3. Stake your LP tokens and CAKE into the new farms and pools.
