You keep full custody through your Ledger device.</p><h4 id="what-about-rewards"><strong>What about rewards?</strong></h4><p>Ethereum staking rewards are dynamic and protocol-driven. While rewards fluctuate based on network conditions, validator performance, and staking participation, they typically range between 3.5% - 4.5% annually as of mid-2025. P2P.org’s validators have consistently maintained high uptime and reliability, helping you capture the full share of on-chain rewards securely through your Ledger device.</p><h4 id="can-i-unstake"><strong>Can I unstake?</strong></h4><p>Yes. Ethereum withdrawals are now live. You can initiate an exit and reclaim your ETH after the protocol-defined withdrawal queue.</p><h4 id="will-i-lose-control-of-my-eth"><strong>Will I lose control of my ETH?</strong></h4><p>No. Your ETH stays in your self-custodied wallet.

<p>Delegating (staking) your <strong>Story ($IP)</strong> tokens is a straightforward way to put your assets to work while supporting the security and decentralization of the Story network. Whether you’re new to staking or just want a smoother experience, this guide walks you through the full process using the <strong>official Story staking interface</strong> for <strong>unlocked $IP</strong>.</p><p>We’ll show you how to:</p><ul><li>Get your unlocked $IP ready</li><li>Connect a supported wallet</li><li>Choose a validator and stake your tokens</li><li>Understand reward timing, unbonding, and key risks</li></ul><p>By following this process, your stake can start <strong>accruing rewards shortly after it becomes active</strong>.</p><h2 id="important-unlocked-vs-locked-ip-read-first"><strong>Important: Unlocked vs Locked $IP (Read First)</strong></h2><p>Story supports two token types:</p><ul><li><strong>Unlocked $IP</strong>: freely transferable tokens (tokens bought from the market). This guide covers <strong>unlocked staking</strong> only.</li><li><strong>Locked $IP</strong>: tokens subject to a lock/vesting schedule. Locked $IP can typically be staked via a <strong>separate investor/locked-token interface</strong>, and earns rewards with a <strong>lower multiplier</strong> than unlocked staking.</li></ul><p>If your tokens are locked, use the <strong>locked staking flow</strong> provided through your investor/locked-token portal. This guide focuses only on the unlocked-token experience.</p><h2 id="prerequisites"><strong>Prerequisites</strong></h2><h3 id="1-get-your-ip-ready"><strong>1) Get your $IP ready</strong></h3><p>Before you begin, make sure you own some <strong>Story ($IP)</strong>. You can purchase $IP <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/story-protocol/?ref=p2p.org#Markets">on supported cryptocurrency exchanges</a> and withdraw it to a <strong>non-custodial wallet</strong> that works with the Story staking interface (for example, an EVM-compatible wallet like MetaMask).</p><p>Once your $IP is in your wallet, keep a small buffer available for network fees. Some actions require a protocol fee in $IP (for example, <strong>unstaking costs 1 IP</strong>), so avoid staking your entire balance down to zero.</p><h3 id="2-use-the-official-story-staking-interface"><strong>2) Use the official Story staking interface</strong></h3><p>This guide follows the flow provided by <a href="https://staking.story.foundation/?ref=p2p.org">Story’s official staking interface</a>.

Set your intended <strong>staking amount</strong> and choose the <strong>lock-up term</strong> to view the estimated rewards. Estimates are indicative and may change over time as network conditions and APR parameters update.</p><h2 id="step-1-go-to-the-story-staking-page"><strong>Step 1: Go to the Story Staking Page</strong></h2><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2026/01/Screenshot_2026-01-18_at_23.04.36.webp" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1148" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2026/01/Screenshot_2026-01-18_at_23.04.36.webp 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2026/01/Screenshot_2026-01-18_at_23.04.36.webp 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2026/01/Screenshot_2026-01-18_at_23.04.36.webp 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2026/01/Screenshot_2026-01-18_at_23.04.36.webp 2048w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><p>Open <a href="https://staking.story.foundation/?ref=p2p.org">the official Story staking interface</a> and click <strong>Connect Wallet</strong> (or <strong>Start Earning</strong>) at the top-right corner.</p><h2 id="step-2-connect-your-wallet"><strong>Step 2: Connect Your Wallet</strong></h2><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2026/01/Screenshot_2026-01-18_at_23.04.10.webp" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1145" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2026/01/Screenshot_2026-01-18_at_23.04.10.webp 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2026/01/Screenshot_2026-01-18_at_23.04.10.webp 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2026/01/Screenshot_2026-01-18_at_23.04.10.webp 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2026/01/Screenshot_2026-01-18_at_23.04.10.webp 2048w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><p>In the popup:</p><ol><li>Select your wallet provider.</li><li>Approve the connection request in your wallet.</li></ol><p>Once connected, you’ll see your <strong>available $IP balance</strong> and your current staking status.</p><h2 id="step-3-choose-a-validator"><strong>Step 3: Choose a Validator</strong></h2><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2026/01/Screenshot_2026-01-18_at_23.07.18.webp" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1143" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2026/01/Screenshot_2026-01-18_at_23.07.18.webp 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2026/01/Screenshot_2026-01-18_at_23.07.18.webp 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2026/01/Screenshot_2026-01-18_at_23.07.18.webp 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2026/01/Screenshot_2026-01-18_at_23.07.18.webp 2048w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><p>Browse or search the validator list (for example, <a href="http://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">P2P.org</a>).
