Staking Crypto: Top Coins to Stake in Trust Wallet 2024

Crypto staking allows you to grow your portfolio while helping secure blockchain networks for everyone. Top staking options in Trust Wallet include the following:

• Solana (SOL)

• Tron (TRX)

• Cosmos (ATOM)

• Terra Classic (LUNC)

• Kava (KAVA)

• Cardano (ADA)

Below, you can learn about each of these crypto assets and how they fit into their respective networks, but first let’s take a quick look at what staking is, and how you can do it using Trust Wallet.

What is Staking?

Staking is a process where users support a blockchain network's operations, including transaction validation and network security, by locking or "staking" their cryptocurrencies. It's a common feature in proof-of-stake (PoS) or delegated proof-of-stake (dPoS) networks. By contributing their tokens to the network's functionality, participants help maintain and secure the system and are rewarded with staking returns, similar to earning interest.

Trust Wallet simplifies this process by offering over 20 in-wallet staking options, allowing users to stake various cryptocurrencies directly within the wallet without navigating complex decentralized applications (dApps) or leaving the wallet's interface. This makes staking more accessible and streamlined, providing an easy way to contribute to your favorite networks while potentially earning rewards.

How Do I Stake Crypto Using Trust Wallet?

Before you stake, be sure that you get the most up-to-date version of Trust Wallet.

Next, if you don’t have any of the stakeable assets in your wallet you can either deposit crypto using the “Receive” button, or buy crypto directly using Trust Wallet.

Now you’re ready to stake and earn rewards. Staking can be done in just a few steps, and here’s how.

Note: Below we’ll use staking Solana (SOL) as the example, but the process is generally the same for each asset.

• Select the “Earn” button from the wallet home screen.

• Select the asset you want to stake, in this example it’s “SOL”.

• Select “Stake”.

• Choose the amount you want to stake and choose the validator you want to use by selecting the Validator dropdown.

• Once you choose a validator, select “Continue”.

• Follow the remaining instructions to confirm your stake.

Terra Classic is a blockchain platform that focuses on stable digital currencies, or stablecoins. LUNC, formerly known as LUNA, is the native token, serving as collateral for the platform's stablecoins and for network governance.
