What is Zilliqa?

Zilliqa is one of the earliest sharded Layer 1 networks. ZIL holders can stake with validators directly through Zilliqa's official staking portal.

How to stake ZIL

  1. Get an official wallet that supports Zilliqa — the link on this page goes to Zilliqa's official site, which lists supported wallets.
  2. Transfer or hold your ZIL in that wallet. On most networks this keeps you in full control of your coins.
  3. From the wallet's staking or delegation screen, research and choose a validator (see our guide on choosing a validator).
  4. Confirm the delegation transaction. Rewards typically begin accruing automatically after a short activation period.
  5. 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.

Frequently asked questions

Is staking ZIL safe?

Staking Zilliqa 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 ZIL 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 Zilliqa site for the current requirement.

How long does it take to unstake ZIL?

Varies by network and changes over time — confirm the current cooldown/unbonding period on the official site before you stake.
