3. Stake your wal
Use your WAL
Stake your WAL tokens to support the Walrus network and earn rewards, or explore applications built on Walrus that use scalable, onchain storage.
Walrus is powered by a proof-of-stake network, where WAL token holders can stake to earn rewards in exchange for securing the network.
How to start staking your WAL
To get started, you’ll need a compatible wallet and some SUI to cover network fees (learn how to get SUI here).
Then, visit the official Walrus staking site, select a storage node operator from the available list, enter the amount of WAL you wish to stake, and approve the transaction to begin staking.
