You can stake FLOW from any NUFI Flow account to earn weekly rewards. Your staked FLOW is held in Flow's staking contract under your account's control: only you can unstake or withdraw it.


How Flow staking works
  • Epochs: Flow runs in epochs of about one week. New stakes and unstaking requests take effect when the next epoch starts.
  • Rewards: paid once per epoch (weekly). Unlike Cardano and Solana, rewards aren't staked automatically. They wait in your Rewarded balance until you restake or withdraw them.
  • Your FLOW is locked while staked. Keep some FLOW unstaked to pay transaction fees.

Steps
  1. Click Staking in the left-hand sidebar and select FLOW.
  2. Click Stake FLOW on the Flow account you want to use.
  3. First time only: create a staking collection. This is a one-time setup that lets your account hold stakes. Review the fee, approve with your NUFI password, and click Continue.
  4. Enter how much FLOW to stake, choose a validator (node) or use the recommended one, and click Continue.
  5. Review the transaction and approve it.
  6. Click Close. Your new stake appears on your FLOW staking dashboard.


Your FLOW shows as Committed until the next epoch starts (up to about 7 days), then becomes Staked and starts earning. Your first rewards arrive in about 1–2 weeks, then every week after that.
