View step-by-step staking instructions
The steps below are for clients using the Kraken Classic interface. Which Kraken interface am I on?
  1. 1
    Once you are signed in navigate to Earn at the top of the page. 
  2. 2
    Click on Stake and then select the asset you would like to stake.
  3. 3
    Input the amount of the asset that you would like to stake and select Stake. Some assets will offer both a Bonded term as well as a Flexible term.
  4. 4
    Your funds are now initiated for staking. You will see this entry under Transactions.
  5. 5
    A few minutes later your transaction will go from initiated to Success which means your funds are now staked.
    Certain assets have a bonding period, which means that rewards will not begin to accrue to your account until the asset has been staked for a period of time.
  6. 6
    Under Staking assets you will see the amount of rewards you have earned so far and the total amount staked under Total rewards and Staking balance.
  7. 7
    Once you have received your desired amount of rewards you can 'Unstake' (excluding staked FLOW.H).
