If you are already familiar with navigating blockchains and have ROOT in your FuturePass, this simple seven-step guide is for you. If you're new to staking, check out our detailed staking guide here.
Go to the staking site: staking.therootnetwork.com.
Click Start Staking.
Sign in to your FuturePass. Your available ROOT balance is on the staking dashboard in the top right corner.
Click Stake ROOT.
Enter the amount you want to stake.
If nominating, select one or more validators. Or select ‘Skip nomination’ to only stake.
Confirm your choices and sign the transaction.
ℹ️ Note: You require a minimum of 25 ROOT tokens in your FuturePass to participate in staking or nominating. Follow the steps in the How to buy ROOT guide to get started.
Congratulations, your ROOT is now staked! After each cycle has concluded, you will automatically receive VORTEX tokens, which you can redeem for ROOT and other tokens used on the network in the Redeem section of the Staking Dashboard.
