[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In this article, we want to explain how to stake Solana on Ledger Nano X<\/a> device using the standard Ledger Live client.
\nIt is also worth noting that you can stake Solana coins on all hardware wallets made by Ledger SAS, such as the Ledger Nano S Plus<\/a> and Ledger Nano S<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1667859674011{margin-top: 24px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

What do you need?<\/h2>\n

To delegate coins and start staking, you will need:
\n– Download<\/a> and install the latest version of the Ledger Live client<\/a>
\n– A Ledger Nano X \/ S \/ S Plus device with updated firmware
\n– Solana (SOL) coins on the balance of your hardware crypto wallet
\n– The latest version of the Solana app<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1667859678937{margin-top: 24px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

How does coin delegation work?<\/h2>\n

You are probably already familiar with this term if you have dealt with investments before. In the world of fiat money, this term means physically handing your funds over to a trader or an investment company. In this case, however, things are set up in a much safer way for the investor.<\/p>\n

Here, you don’t hand over your funds \u2014 you simply assign them to a validator.
\nThe validator cannot withdraw them or exchange them for other assets. Only you can manage those assets.<\/p>\n

The coins you delegate act as your vote for a validator in the Solana network. The validator with the most votes has the right to add the next block to the Solana network.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1667859685377{margin-top: 24px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Which validator should I choose?<\/h2>\n

At the moment, there is a huge number of validators on the Solana network, but not all of them are trustworthy. When choosing a validator, there are several factors to consider:<\/p>\n

1) The validator’s reputation
\n2) The number of coins already delegated to the validator<\/p>\n

We can recommend validators such as:<\/p>\n

Everstake<\/a> \u2014 A validator company from Ukraine. At the moment, the company operates a large number of nodes across various networks. It also has a high level of trust.<\/p>\n

Ledger By Figment<\/a> \u2014 A validator operated by the French company Ledger SAS, the manufacturer of hardware wallets.<\/p>\n

Coinbase Cloud<\/a> \u2014 The validator with the largest active stake at the moment. A publicly traded U.S. company with a high level of trust, whose shares are listed on a U.S. stock exchange.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1667859692183{margin-top: 24px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

What happens if a validator adds a modified block to the Solana network \u2014 will I lose my coins?<\/h2>\n

This risk does exist. The procedure is called slashing, and it involves destroying coins if a validator modifies a block in any way, creates fake transactions, or attempts to censor the network.<\/p>\n

However, at this time, slashing is not implemented on the Solana network. In theory, if something like that were detected, the network would be halted manually and the decision would be made by the community. That’s exactly why it’s so important to choose a reliable validator with a solid reputation.<\/p>\n

As an option, you can choose several validators and delegate part of your funds to each of them. That way, if one of the validators breaks the network rules, you won’t lose all of your delegated funds.<\/p>\n

In practice, this has never happened yet.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1667859706119{margin-top: 24px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

How much will I earn if I delegate my funds?<\/h2>\n

The amount of profit depends on many factors, primarily on the validator: the more often a validator produces a new block, the more rewards it receives. If you choose a popular validator, you can expect around 5.3% APY in SOL.<\/p>\n

The current approximate rate can be found on StakingRewards.com<\/a>.
\nA staking calculator is also available there.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1667859711306{margin-top: 24px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1667873896186{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

\n*Approval is done by pressing both buttons at the same time.<\/p>\n

7) After confirmation, the Ledger Live client will display “Broadcasting transaction…”.<\/span>Then, a message will appear saying “You have successfully delegated your assets”.<\/p>\n

8) Congratulations, you have successfully delegated your funds!<\/p>\n

\"\"[\/vc_column_text][vc_message message_box_style=”classic” message_box_color=”alert-info” style=”rounded”]After delegation, you may need to wait up to 3 days.

4) Click “Continue”.
\nIn response, the message “Deactivate stake” will appear on the device screen.<\/p>\n

5) Approve the transaction using your Ledger device.
\nIn response, Ledger Live will display the message “You have successfully deactivated your delegation”.
\nAfter some time, the status of your delegated balance will change to “deactivating”.

\"\"[\/vc_column_text][vc_message message_box_style=”classic” message_box_color=”alert-info” style=”rounded”]\u2219 Deactivating the delegation and releasing funds takes 3\u20134 days.<\/p>\n

\u2219 The inactive balance can be re-activated\/re-delegated, or withdrawn to the available balance. After that, you will be able to use it for transactions on the Solana network.[\/vc_message][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
