You can stake the SOL in any NUFI Solana account. This guide covers hot wallet accounts; for hardware wallets, see the device-specific guides in this folder. New to staking? See the Solana staking overview.
Before you start
Keep some SOL unstaked. Staked SOL can't be used for transaction fees, and each new stake account needs a small rent deposit (about 0.0023 SOL, returned when you withdraw everything). Leaving at least 0.01 SOL available 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, then select Solana.
- Choose your Solana account and click Stake SOL.
- Enter how much SOL to stake, and choose a validator or use the recommended one.
- Review the transaction, enter your NUFI password, and confirm.
Your new stake account appears on your Solana staking dashboard. It becomes active at the end of the current epoch (up to about 2 days), and your first rewards usually arrive within about 5 days.
Troubleshooting
The staking transaction keeps failing
- Not enough SOL for fees and rent: Solana accounts must keep a small minimum balance, and new stake accounts need a rent deposit. Add a little more SOL, or stake a slightly smaller amount, and try again.
- The transaction expired: Solana transactions expire if they aren't signed quickly. Confirm within about a minute of starting.
