Stake CRO

Here is a step-by-step guide to CRO staking.

#1. Get wallet app

Before staking you will need to transfer your CRO to a wallet that you own and control.

Crypto.org Chain Desktop Wallet
Crypto.com DeFi Wallet
Crypto.org Wallet Client
Ledger Hardware Wallet

You can read more about these wallet apps here.

#2. Create wallet

Press the "Get started" button, choose your app password and press the "Create App Password" button. Select "Create wallet" or "Restore wallet" and follow further wallet instructions.

It's of paramount importance that you safely backup your private keys. Nothing can be done anymore if these are lost.

#3. Receiving funds

Select the "Receive" section on the left side to view your wallet address. Transfer your funds to this address.

Please review the migration details if you currently hold ERC20 CRO.

Press the "Confirm" button and wait while processing.

Do not delegate all amount, it's important to keep a small amount of funds for further transactions – 0.1 CRO will be enough.

Select the "Staking" section on the left side and than switch to "Staking Rewards" tab from the top.

Press at "Withdraw Reward" action on the right column.
Type your app password, press the "Decrypt wallet" button, and press the "Continue" button.
Press the "Confirm" button and wait while processing.
