How to stake Tezos

Tezos is available on popular exchanges like Binance, Kraken, Swyftx and Coinspot. I earn a small commission if you buy Tezos after signing up through these links.

It starts with the letters 'tz' and has a bunch of letters and numbers after it.

Make a note of which method you used to open a wallet in Kukai, because each social network and the email option are connected to separate Tezos accounts.

Turn on two-factor authentication on your social and email accounts.

You can also connect your Ledger if you have one - I earn a commission if you buy one using this link.

You're ready to receive Tezos from the exchange!

Look for the withdraw crypto section in the exchange and paste your Tezos address. Ensure you withdraw using the Tezos network.

Head over to the official Stake Tezos website and click on the Connect Wallet button. Choose Kukai and open the wallet you want to use (a social account, email account or Ledger).

1. Wait a few seconds, switch back to the Stake Tezos tab,
2. Wait a few seconds, switch back to the Kukai tab,
3. Click Connect, switch back to the Stake Tezos tab,
4. Delegate to a Baker, switch back to the Kukai tab to confirm,
5. Stake an amount of Tezos (leave at least 1 tez to pay for unstaking), and
6. Switch to the Kukai tab to confirm.

Head over to a popular Tezos blockchain explorer called TzKT.io and paste your 'tz' address. Take a screenshot so you know how much Tezos you started with! Check back in a few days time to see how much it has increased! It should grow by about 15% pa.
