Welcome to NuFi wallet's knowledge base. Learn more about NuFi (and access the wallet) on our homepage here or ask a question in our Discord server here.

Step 1: Access NuFi Wallet

Access NuFi Wallet.

Ensure that your Ledger Nano device is connected, unlocked, and the Solana app is running.

 You will be taken to Portfolio page, as shown below.

Step 2: Staking

Navigate to ‘Staking’ in the left-hand corner, as shown below.

No previous staking

If you do not have any staked assets, you will be taken to the 'What is staking’ page.

To begin staking, select ‘My staking’.

Already Staking
 

If you have assets staked already, NuFi Wallet will display ‘My Staking’.

Step 3: Select Asset

The assets that are available to be staked will be shown.

In this demonstration, some Solana has already been staked, however since we wish to stake some more, select ‘My staking’.

 This example will demonstrate staking Solana with a Ledger Nano account.

Step 4: Select Account

The list of available accounts will then be displayed.

Select ‘Stake’ on the account you want to begin staking for.

Step 5: Staking Amount

You will then be shown the below, where you can select options for staking.

Account

Step 4 demonstrates how to select the account you wish to stake; however, this can be changed by using the dropdown shown below.
 

In this example, we will not be changing the account selected for staking, therefore this step is just for information.

Amount to stake

Input the amount of Solana you wish to stake.

Alternatively, you can press ‘Max’ to automatically input the maximum amount of SOL in that account.

Please note that any fees for the transaction to submit will be accounted for and deducted, so you will see less than the amount of SOL you input to stake.  

 Confirm

Once all details have been input, press ‘Continue’.
 

 You will then be shown a breakdown of the transaction.
 

Press ‘Submit’.
 

Step 6: Ledger Confirmations

You will see the below, asking you to ensure your Ledger device is connected. Ensure your Ledger device is connected, unlocked and Ledger Live is not running, then press ‘I’ve set up my Ledger’. 

Verify Transaction
 

You will need to carry out confirmations on your Ledger device. 

Whilst you do that, the NuFi app will display the below.

You will need to complete the below verifications on your Ledger Nano device.

If you press ‘Continue’, skip to Step 9

If you press ‘Close’, continue to Step 8

Step 8: Activate Staking

You will be taken back to your Solana staking accounts. Press 'Show Staking' on the Ledger account you have just staked. 

You will then be shown some details of the staking account you just created. 

Your account will display as inactive. Select the three dots in the far-right corner, then press ‘Activate staking’

Step 9: Choose Validator

You will then be asked to select a validator. You can type in a validator name/ID or you can use the dropdown to select one from the list. 

Once you have selected a validator, press ‘Continue’

Step 10: Submit Transaction

You will then be given a breakdown of the transaction. Once you have reviewed and are happy with this information, press ‘Submit’

You will then be asked to set up your Ledger device. Once you have done this, press ‘I’ve set up my Ledger’
