Vara Staking Guide

Create Vara account

To create a Vara account, use popular substrate-based wallets such as SubWallet, Talisman, or the Polkadot.js browser extension. For secure storage, consider Polkadot Vault. Note that Ledger support is not yet available. Being Substrate-based, Vara supports any keypair compatible with sr25519.

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. 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.

Staking Vara

Here's how to stake Vara tokens via the user-friendly staking dashboard at staking.vara-network.io. Alternative methods include the Polkadot js portal and wallets like SubWallet.

1. On the dashboard at staking.vara-network.io, locate and click on the Nominate tab, then select Start Nominating. Before proceeding, check the minimum stake required for rewards in the dashboard's upper right corner to be eligible to earn rewards.

2. Choose how you'd like to receive staking rewards:

• Compound: Automatically send your rewards into staking.
• To Your Account: Transfer rewards directly to your account.

Choose your preference and click Continue.

3. In the next step, select P2P.org validators:

4. Finally, input the amount you wish to stake and confirm by clicking Start nominating.

Staking will become active in the next 12-24 hours. You can monitor the status and effectiveness of your nominations from the same Nominate tab.

Staking Vara via nomination pool

Vara offers a nomination pool system for smaller token holders, allowing you to earn rewards with a stake as small as 1 VARA.

In this guide, we will follow you on the steps to stake your Vara tokens using the most user-friendly way via the staking dashboard at staking.vara-network.io. There are alternative ways to stake via Polkadot js portal and wallets (for example, SubWallet).

1. Click on Join on the Pools tab on the staking.vara-network.io dashboard.

2. Choose an active pool from the list to ensure you're eligible for rewards.

3. Enter the amount you wish to stake in the selected pool and confirm by clicking Submit.

Like direct staking, pool staking will be operational within 12-24 hours, and you can track the progress in the Pools tab.
