Install SubWallet
Download and install SubWallet 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 ION
Buy ION on an exchange (Coinbase, Kraken, Binance) and withdraw to your SubWallet address. Double-check the network before sending.
Open the staking section
In SubWallet, navigate to the staking or earn tab for Ion. Pick a validator — look for low commission, long uptime, and avoid the top validator to support decentralization.
Delegate and confirm
Enter the amount of ION to stake and confirm the transaction. Rewards typically begin accruing in 1–2 epochs and compound automatically or are claimable from the same screen.
