Step-by-Step: Stake KSM on Solflare

Install Solflare

Download and install Solflare 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 KSM

Buy KSM on an exchange (Coinbase, Kraken, Binance) and withdraw to your Solflare address. Double-check the network before sending.

Open the staking section

In Solflare, navigate to the staking or earn tab for Kusama. Pick a validator — look for low commission, long uptime, and avoid the top validator to support decentralization.

Delegate and confirm

Enter the amount of KSM to stake and confirm the transaction. Rewards typically begin accruing in 1–2 epochs and compound automatically or are claimable from the same screen.
