Delegate your SOL

Enter the wallet key you want to stake from and an amount. We create a new stake account, delegate it to Thamesvale and hand you the addresses.

Network minimum is 1 SOL.

How delegation works on Solana

Staking on Solana is native to the protocol. Your SOL sits in a stake account you own, and you point it at a validator's vote account.

  1. Create a stake account

    A new account owned by the Stake program is funded from your wallet. It holds the stake plus a small rent-exempt reserve, and your wallet is set as both staker and withdrawer.

  2. Delegate to a vote account

    The delegate instruction links the stake account to Thamesvale's vote account. Validators are identified by vote account, not by name.

  3. Wait for the next epoch

    Stake delegated in epoch N becomes active at the start of epoch N+1. An epoch lasts roughly two days, and the network limits how much stake can warm up in one epoch.

  4. Earn rewards each epoch

    Rewards are paid into the stake account at the start of each epoch, minus the validator's commission. They compound because they are added to the delegated stake.

  5. Deactivate and withdraw

    Deactivating takes effect at the end of the current epoch. After that, the withdraw authority can move the SOL back to any wallet.

FAQs

Is there a minimum staking period?

No. Solana has no fixed staking terms. You can deactivate at any time, and the stake stops earning once the current epoch ends.

Who controls the stake account?

The wallet you stake from is set as both staker and withdrawer authority. SolStakr UK never holds either authority.

Does my SOL have to leave my wallet balance?

Yes. Solana only delegates SOL held in a stake account, and a normal wallet balance cannot be delegated in place. The stake account is yours: you set the staker and withdrawer authorities, so you can deactivate and withdraw whenever you choose.

What is the rent reserve?

Every Solana account must hold a minimum balance to stay open. For a stake account that is about 0.00228288 SOL. It is not delegated and does not earn rewards, and it comes back to you when you withdraw the full balance.

Why does my stake say activating?

A new delegation only becomes effective at the next epoch boundary. Rewards start after the first full epoch of active stake.

Is this real money?

Yes. This project runs on Solana mainnet, where SOL has real market value.
