The governance of the Internet Computer depends on people staking their ICP token and voting on proposals. To do this, there are four steps (each with different sets of options):

Custody
Custody is the act of managing your ICP. There are many options, each with different security and usability trade-offs.
For a summary of the range of options available to you depending on your comfort level, see ICP custody options.
Staking
Once you decide on your custody, staking is the action of locking ICP within a neuron with a dissolve delay. Staking and voting are critical to Governance of the Internet Computer.
By staking you can vote on NNS Proposals and collect NNS rewards. There are many options for staking, each with different security and usability trade-offs. See ICP staking options.
Voting
Voting is the act of voting on NNS proposals using neurons. See ICP voting options.
