Step-by-Step: Stake ETH on Petra
Install Petra
Download and install Petra from its official site. Set up a new wallet or import an existing seed phrase, and back up your recovery phrase securely.
Fund the wallet with ETH
Buy ETH on an exchange (Coinbase, Kraken, Binance) and withdraw to your Petra address. Double-check the network before sending.
Open the staking section
In Petra, navigate to the staking or earn tab for Ethereum. Pick a validator — look for low commission, long uptime, and avoid the top validator to support decentralization.
Delegate and confirm
Enter the amount of ETH to stake and confirm the transaction. Rewards typically begin accruing in 1–2 epochs and compound automatically or are claimable from the same screen.
