In order to stake tokens on Solana, you first will need to transfer some SOL

into a wallet that supports staking, then follow the steps or instructions

provided by the wallet to create a stake account and delegate your stake.

#### Create a Stake Account
|

|
||||
A stake account is a different type of account from a wallet address
|

that is used to simply send and receive SOL tokens to other addresses. If you
|

have received SOL in a wallet address you control, you can use some of
|

these tokens to create and fund a new stake account, which will have a different
|

address than the wallet you used to create it.
