You can stake the SOL on your Keystone 3 Pro through NUFI. Your SOL is held in a stake account controlled by your Keystone, and every staking transaction is approved on the device.
Before you start
- Pair your Keystone's Solana accounts with NUFI. See Manage Keystone 3 Pro using NUFI wallet.
- Update your Keystone to firmware 2.0.6 or newer (Multi-Coin), then connect it by USB and unlock it.
- Keep some SOL unstaked for fees and the stake account's rent deposit (about 0.0023 SOL, returned when you withdraw everything). At least 0.01 SOL is a good rule of thumb.
Steps
- Click Stake Now next to SOL on the Home screen, or click Staking in the left-hand sidebar, and select Solana
- Choose your Keystone Solana account and click Stake SOL.
- Enter how much SOL to stake, and choose a validator or use the recommended one.
- Review the transaction in NUFI, then approve it on your Keystone.
Your stake becomes active at the end of the current epoch (up to about 2 days), and your first rewards usually arrive within about 5 days. To unstake or withdraw, see How to unstake and withdraw SOL.
Troubleshooting
The staking transaction keeps failing
- Not enough SOL for fees and rent: add a little more SOL, or stake a slightly smaller amount.
- The transaction expired: Solana transactions expire quickly, so approve on your Keystone within about a minute.
