The details of our integration with Stakewiz.

Overview

Users can stake their SOL holdings with the Solana Network validators directly from their Squad.

To stake SOL:

1. Navigate to the "Staking" tab and select "Validator" section.

"Validator" section

2. Select the validator you wish to stake with and select the amount of SOL you want to stake. You can use a filter to rank the validators by the amount of SOL delegated to them, the estimated APY, or use the search field to find the specific validator.

Stake pop-up

Please note that staking happens in epochs. Each epoch lasts approximately 3 days. If you stake during an ongoing epoch, you will start earning staking rewards after the start of the next epoch. In this case, you will see your staked SOL amount in the "Activating" field on the dashboard.

3. Insert the description (optional) and click on the "Stake" button and launch a transaction.

4. Your SOL will start the activating period upon the transaction execution (more on the transactions here). Once the new epoch starts, you will start earning rewards.
