Start staking

Start earning by staking tokens via liquid staking on SubWallet.

Step 1: Open the SubWallet extension and choose the "Earning" tab at the bottom of the screen.

Step 2: In the Earning options screen, choose the token you want to stake by searching the list or typing the token name on the search bar.

If you have previously staked funds on the account, after choosing the "Earning" tab, you will be directed to the Your earning positions screen. From there, click the "+" icon at the upper right corner to get to the Earning options screen.

Step 3: In the DOT earning options screen, select one of the three "Liquid staking" options as your earning type.

In this example, we want to stake DOT via Bifrost liquid staking.

A pop-up will appear. Read carefully, scroll down, then choose "Stake to earn" to proceed.

Step 4: Enter the amount you want to stake.

If you are in the "All accounts" mode, in addition to the above information, you will also need to select the staking account.

Click "Stake" to proceed.
