Step-by-Step: Stake DOT on Leap Wallet

1

Install Leap Wallet

Download and install Leap Wallet from its official site. Set up a new wallet or import an existing seed phrase, and back up your recovery phrase securely.

2

Fund the wallet with DOT

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

3

Open the staking section

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