What is Aptos?
Aptos is a Move-language Layer 1 focused on safety and throughput. APT holders delegate to validators or delegation pools, and stake is released at the end of the chain's lockup cycle.
How to stake APT
- Get an official wallet that supports Aptos — the link on this page goes to Aptos's official site, which lists supported wallets.
- Transfer or hold your APT 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.

Unbonding & lock-up
Unlocking staked APT follows the network's fixed lockup cycle, currently about 30 days.
