What is Fantom?
Fantom is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 built on the Lachesis consensus protocol for fast finality. FTM holders delegate to validators through Fantom's staking dashboard to earn a share of network rewards.
How to stake FTM
- Get an official wallet that supports Fantom — the link on this page goes to Fantom's official site, which lists supported wallets.
- Transfer or hold your FTM 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
Varies by network and changes over time — confirm the current cooldown/unbonding period on the official site before you stake.
