ℹ️ If you are not an advanced user, it's highly recommended to use "".

⚠ Since staking balances in pools are migrating to reserved balance, it's not recommended to be a dual staker (both solo and in a pool).

To stake solo with an account, such as Alice, go to that account’s details page, select the chain and asset you want to stake, then click on "Stake," in either extension or full-screen mode, as shown below

Please note that the "minimum to receive rewards" at the time of staking, this amount may vary depending on network conditions. If this threshold increases after you've staked, you'll need to increase your staking amount to remain eligible for rewards. Therefore, it's important to monitor this value periodically.

On the Solo Staking page, as shown below, click the '+' sign to navigate to the input page:

On the input page, review your available balance and enter the amount of assets you wish to stake. You can choose whether to have the validators selected automatically or manually choose them yourself. Additionally, you can specify the destination account for your rewards.

Once you have completed all the required inputs, click "Next" to review your selections. If everything is correct, enter your password to confirm the staking.

If everything goes smoothly, you'll see the confirmation page as shown below. Congratulations 🎉, you have successfully staked your assets!
