For secure storage, consider Polkadot Vault. Note that Ledger support is not yet available. Being Substrate-based, Vara supports any keypair compatible with sr25519.</p><p><strong>Remember, your seed phrase is crucial for account access. If lost, you can restore your account with it, but if someone else gets it, they can access it. </strong>Store your seed securely on encrypted hard drives, non-digital devices, or ideally on paper, and protect it from physical damage. Never store it on an internet-connected device.</p><h2 id="staking-vara">Staking Vara</h2><p>Here's how to stake Vara tokens via the user-friendly staking dashboard at <a href="http://staking.vara-network.io/?ref=p2p.org" rel="noopener noreferrer">staking.vara-network.io</a>.
