Starknet Staking Guide by P2P.org

About Starknet

Finally, the time for L2 decentralization has come to the Ethereum ecosystem!

Starknet staking will allow token holders to capture some of that missing revenue flow that was fragmented to L2s. Moreover, the Starknet team has done a perfect job of making their staking permissionless and available to everyone. In the case of Starknet, this is genuinely permissionless.

💡
Everyone can spin up a Starknet node, stake 20000 STRK, and start validating the network.

Only the full node is required in the first phase of staking, but in the second phase, which will start in Q2-Q3 2025, the participants will also be required to run ZK provers.

If you’re not interested in supporting the hardware yourself, you can delegate this responsibility to others, including P2P.org. Also, it is more economically reasonable to delegate to a bigger operator since the active set with Starknet is limited, even though it is rotated every epoch.

💡
P2P.org offers 0% fees, so if you delegate to us, you’ll save on the expenses of running your own infra and maximize the number of rewards you’re getting.



Here is a guide on how to delegate your STRK to P2P.org.

Creating an account

Even though Staknet is L2, it is not EVM, so your Ethereum address and wallets will not work here. The Starknet ecosystem has two key wallets: Argent and Braavos. You can also use your Ledger with those wallets for Ledger-level security.

You can download the wallet from Argent or Braavos’ website. Remember to back up your seed phrase!


Now, you need to get your tokens onto this new wallet. You can transfer STRK or ETH from a centralized exchange of your choice. You can bridge your tokens from other ecosystems using a variety of bridges, but the safest way is to use the Starknet official bridge to transfer your tokens from Ethereum L1.

To connect your Ledger to Starknet, you can use the instructions from Argent & Starknet.

Developer mode is no longer necessary; the app is now in full production mode. Go to your Ledger Live app, click on My Ledger, and find the Starknet application there. Then, click Account in the top left corner of your Argent app. Then, follow the instructions to add a new account.

Where to stake

One of the options we recommend is Staking Rewards, where you can stake not only STRK but many other assets.

The step-by-step you can see here. (uploading the video, it's coming soon!)

Alternatively, here's a step-by-step text guide:

  1. On Staking Rewards, go to the Stake tab:
  1. Click on the asset to change it to STRK
  1. If this is not P2P.org, please switch it to P2P.org to stake with us
  1. You may proceed by clicking "Connect wallet" and "Stake now." If your wallet is already connected, you may click "Continue to Stake."
  1. A popup will appear, and your wallet will open automatically
  1. Sign the staking transaction by clicking the "Sign" button.
  1. Congratulations! You've staked your Staknet tokens. Now, you can check your stake and rewards on the dashboard with the Staking Rewards platform.
