# Stake SOL

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**.

Follow the steps outlined below:

## Step 1. Access Staking Page

1. Go to **Wallets & Staking** > **Staking** menu.
2. Staking can be initiated from the Solana card as shown below via the **Stake** button and is also available from the **Dashboard**.

2. This will bring up a pop-up with a QR code. Select your preferred wallet to connect your wallet.
3. 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! 🎊***

View your validator address and its total staked on the Solana dashboard.

> Your stake actions may not reflect immediately on the dashboard as data is updated every 24 hours. Check back later to view your updated position.
