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 NEAR
Buy NEAR 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 NEAR Protocol. Pick a validator — look for low commission, long uptime, and avoid the top validator to support decentralization.
Delegate and confirm
Enter the amount of NEAR to stake and confirm the transaction. Rewards typically begin accruing in 1–2 epochs and compound automatically or are claimable from the same screen.
