FAQ

What is the staking APY for Solana?
Approximately 7.0% per year, depending on platform, network conditions and lock-up. Exchanges take a cut; staking direct from a wallet usually pays more but needs more setup.
Is staking Solana safe?
Staking has risks: price volatility, lock-up/unbonding periods, and (on exchanges) custody risk. Staking from a hardware wallet keeps custody with you. Never stake more than you can lock up.
How do I stake Solana?
Easiest: hold SOL on an exchange that offers SOL staking (above) and opt in. Self-custody: stake from a Ledger via Ledger Live for SOL where supported.
