TL;DR
SOL staking is a way to earn passive income and support the Solana network, without just “hiding your tokens under the mattress.”
All you need is a Phantom wallet and some SOL on your balance.
You can stake in two ways: liquid (your tokens stay available for DeFi) or native (classic staking — tokens are locked).
Delegate your SOL to a trusted validator — choose NODERS.
Manage and unstake your tokens in just a couple of clicks.
Income is never risk-free — see the “Risks & Realities” section for what to watch out for.
NODERS stands for transparency, support, educational content, and robust infrastructure for your peace of mind.
Staking isn’t just “set and forget” for your crypto. When you delegate SOL, you’re joining a massive decentralized network. Picture this: you entrust your SOL to reliable validators — supercomputers spread across the world, processing transactions and defending the network from attacks. In return for your support, the network rewards you with new tokens — and that’s not magic, it’s blockchain and pure math at work! Intrigued? Let’s dive in!
What Do You Need to Start?
-
SOL tokens. Load up before the journey — no adventure starts without supplies!
-
Phantom Wallet. The legendary Phantom: simple, reliable, and beloved by users worldwide.
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Setting up Phantom Wallet
Phantom is your Solana guide: convenient, secure, modern.
How to install Phantom:
-
On desktop: Download the extension from the official Phantom website.
-
On mobile: Get the app in the App Store or Google Play.
Create a new wallet:
-
Click “Create new wallet” — it’s super easy.
-
Make sure to securely save your seed phrase! It’s the key to your digital vault.
Finish setup:
-
Set a strong password.
-
Confirm wallet creation. Congratulations — you’ve just taken your first step into staking!
2. Funding Your Wallet with SOL
Wallet’s ready? Time to top up that balance!
Where to get SOL:
-
“Buy with fiat” — buy SOL right in Phantom using regular money.
-
“Transfer crypto” — send SOL from any exchange (Binance, Bybit, Bitget, etc.) or from another wallet.
Depositing to Phantom:
-
Click “Receive” and copy your address.
-
Paste this address when withdrawing from the exchange.
Pro tip: Double-check the address — the blockchain never forgives a typo!
3. Delegating SOL to the NODERS Validator
Now comes the fun part — your first staking experience!
-
Open Phantom, go to the SOL section, and find the “Start earning SOL” button.
-
Choose your staking method: liquid or native.
At first glance, staking seems simple: pick a validator, stake SOL — wait for rewards. But Solana offers two paths — and each gives you a different level of flexibility.
What’s the difference between liquid and native staking?
-
Liquid staking — maximum flexibility! You get LST tokens that you can use in DeFi apps without unstaking your SOL. Phantom shows the expected APY and how much PSOL you’ll receive.
-
Native staking — classic style: Your SOL is locked up, earning rewards, but you can only use it after unstaking.
The key difference: flexibility. Liquid staking is for those who love extra possibilities. Native staking is for those who value simplicity and stability.
-
In the list, find the NODERS validator — pick your proven partner!
-
Enter your staking amount.
Tip: Leave at least 0.01 SOL for transaction fees.
- Confirm your delegation: hit “Stake” — and your passive income journey has begun.
4. Waiting for Stake Activation
-
Activation period: After delegating, your stake is activated within one epoch (2–3 days). Just wait, and your rewards will soon start rolling in!
-
Rewards: Once the epoch ends, your first rewards appear automatically at the start of the next one.
5. Tracking and Managing Your Staking
-
Stake status: Open Phantom and track your earnings — it’s transparent and beginner-friendly.
-
Managing: Want to sell, move SOL to another validator, or if your validator is unstable? Just use the Unstake function — after 2–4 days, your tokens are free to move as you like.

Risks & Realities

-
Validator risks: Validators are network guardians, but mistakes happen. Sometimes rewards may be slashed, but your principal SOL is always safe.
-
Cyber threats: Hackers never sleep — keep your seed phrase secret, avoid suspicious links.
-
Network hiccups: Solana is fast-growing, but sometimes has lag or outages. Your funds are rarely at risk, but no system is perfect.
Bottom line: SOL staking is a real way to earn, but there’s no such thing as zero risk. Know what you’re doing, set your risk tolerance, and always stay safe!
