Step-by-Step: Stake Q on MetaMask

1

Install MetaMask

Download and install MetaMask 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 Q

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

3

Open the staking section

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

4

Delegate and confirm

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