Understanding Solana
Staking and Earning on Solana
Learn how to stake SOL tokens and participate in the network to earn rewards through delegation or running a validator.
1. What is Staking?
Staking is the process of locking up SOL to support the security and operations of the Solana network. In return, you can earn rewards based on the amount of SOL staked.
2. How to Stake SOL
You can stake SOL by delegating to a validator. Validators process transactions and help secure the network. By delegating your stake, you contribute to decentralization while earning rewards without running your own infrastructure.
3. Running a Validator
For advanced users, running a validator node offers more control and potentially higher returns, but requires technical expertise, hardware, monitoring, and reliable uptime.
4. Earning Rewards
Rewards depend on total network stake, validator performance/commission, and inflation parameters. Payouts accrue regularly and can be compounded by re-staking.
Summary
Staking on Solana lets you earn while supporting the network. Delegation is the simplest path; running a validator is more involved but offers greater control. Choose the approach that fits your risk tolerance and technical capacity.
