This article briefly guides staking SOL using the Blockdaemon app - Solana (SOL) Dashboard.

❗️

Important Notes:

  • Ensure you have enough SOL to pay a gas fee.
  • The minimum stake amount is 0.1 SOL.
  • When you stake Solana with Blockdaemon, your funds are staked to the following addresses:
    • Vote account address: 6D2jqw9hyVCpppZexquxa74Fn33rJzzBx38T58VucHx9.

Follow the steps outlined below:

Step 1. Access SOL Dashboard

  1. Go to Staking > Stake In-App menu.
  2. Select Stake from the Solana protocol.

Step 2. Connect Your Wallet

  1. Click the Connect button under Connect Wallet.
  1. This will bring up a pop-up with a QR code. Select your preferred wallet to connect your wallet.
  2. Upon successful connection, you'll see Wallet Connected and the wallet's information at the top of the page.

Step 3. Stake SOL

  1. After connecting your wallet, enter the staking amount. This will update the values in the Transaction Summary box.
    1. SOL is a unit used to measure the transaction fee (gas fee) on the Solana network.
  2. Click Stake to proceed.

Step 4. Confirm the Transaction

A transaction is created. This process generates an unsigned transaction transferring designated SOL tokens from your wallet to the Solana network.

Your wallet will notify you that you have a pending signature - you need to accept this in your wallet.

Step 5. Transaction Complete

Congratulations, you have staked SOL powered by Blockdaemon! 🎊
