What is Algorand?
Algorand uses a Pure Proof of Stake design where simply holding ALGO in a participating wallet contributes to network security. Additional rewards are available through Algorand's governance program, which asks participants to commit tokens for a set period.
How to stake ALGO
- Get an official wallet that supports Algorand — the link on this page goes to Algorand's official site, which lists supported wallets.
- Transfer or hold your ALGO in that wallet. On most networks this keeps you in full control of your coins.
- From the wallet's staking or delegation screen, research and choose a validator (see our guide on choosing a validator).
- Confirm the delegation transaction. Rewards typically begin accruing automatically after a short activation period.
- Monitor your validator's performance periodically, and remember any unbonding period that applies if you later want to undelegate.
StakeRadar is an informational guide only. We don't process transactions, hold funds, or connect to wallets. Use the "Go to official site" button above (or a provider below) to reach a real, official destination and complete staking there, in your own wallet.
Unbonding & lock-up
ALGO is never locked for consensus participation; governance rewards (a separate program) require committing coins for a fixed, published period.
