You can stake Tezos using several digital wallets and DeFi platforms that support this function for the XTZ token. Here are the steps to stake XTZ via Temple wallet, one of the wallets running on the Tezos blockchain: 1. Becoming a node on the Tezos PoS network and validating transactions is called ‘baking,’ and the nodes are called ‘bakers.’ To bake blocks on the network, you need to stake a minimum of 8,000 XTZ and run your node to validate transactions. 2. You can also delegate your XTZ tokens to existing nodes or bakers within the network and sit back to earn rewards from their efforts. 3. Install the Tezos wallet Temple on your computer’s browser as a web extension. Supported browsers include Google Chrome, Brave, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Opera, Vivaldi, and Yandex Browser. 4. Set up an account on Temple if you are a new user. You can also import or restore any existing wallet on your Temple account. 5. Head to KuCoin or any other platform to buy XTZ tokens and add funds to your wallet. 6. Copy your Temple wallet address and withdraw the XTZ crypto you have bought from the exchange by entering the address here to initiate the transfer of tokens. 7. Head to the Delegation tab in your Temple wallet to delegate your XTZ tokens to existing bakers within the Tezos network. 8. Enter the number of tokens you wish to delegate to the baker you choose and click on Confirm to process the transaction. 9. Sit back and earn your XTZ rewards from staking Tezos.
