Install Martian Wallet
Download and install Martian Wallet 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 DOT
Buy DOT on an exchange (Coinbase, Kraken, Binance) and withdraw to your Martian Wallet address. Double-check the network before sending.
Open the staking section
In Martian 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.
Delegate and confirm
Enter the amount of DOT to stake and confirm the transaction. Rewards typically begin accruing in 1–2 epochs and compound automatically or are claimable from the same screen.
