How to Stake Kava (KAVA)

What is Kava?

Kava combines a Cosmos SDK chain with an EVM co-chain for DeFi applications. KAVA holders delegate to validators through the official Kava wallet.

How to stake KAVA

Get an official wallet that supports Kava — the link on this page goes to Kava's official site, which lists supported wallets.
Transfer or hold your KAVA 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.

Frequently asked questions

Is staking KAVA safe?

Staking Kava carries the general risks common to all staking — market price risk, and depending on the network and method, slashing, lock-up, smart-contract, or counterparty risk. It is not risk-free. Read our staking risks guide before you start.

What's the minimum amount of KAVA needed to stake?

Minimums vary by method: delegating from a personal wallet often has no minimum or a very small one, while running your own validator (where relevant) usually requires a much larger amount. Check the official Kava site for the current requirement.
