Step-by-Step: Stake TRX on MetaMask

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.

Fund the wallet with TRX

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

Open the staking section

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

Delegate and confirm

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