What is Polygon?
Polygon is an Ethereum-scaling network with its own Proof of Stake validator set that secures the chain and processes checkpoints back to Ethereum. POL, the network's staking token, is delegated to validators through Polygon's official staking dashboard.
How to stake POL
- Get an official wallet that supports Polygon — the link on this page goes to Polygon's official site, which lists supported wallets.
- Transfer or hold your POL 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.
