This guide walks you through the process of staking SEI (Sei) using Trust Wallet. SEI is the native asset of the Sei Network, a Layer 1 blockchain (a base-layer network that settles its own transactions directly) built to support high-performance decentralized applications with a seamless user experience.
Key Details for Staking SEI with Trust Wallet
Minimum Staking Amount: a minimum of 0.000001 SEI
Lockup Period: None (unbonding — the waiting period before unstaked tokens are released — takes 21 days).
Note: During the SEI staking period, both your staked SEI and any rewards generated remain locked. You will not have access to these funds until the unstaking process for your SEI is completed.
Staking Yield (APR — Annual Percentage Rate): View current SEI staking rates in the Earn section of the Trust Wallet app.
Important: SEI staking and rewards are managed by Trust Wallet's partners. Therefore, Trust Wallet does not control the staking rate, lockup period, or minimum staking requirement for SEI. Lockup specifics, including any time frames for staking and unstaking SEI, are determined by the Sei Network itself.
Stay Updated: Ensure you have the latest version of Trust Wallet to access the most current staking options. Download Trust Wallet here.
How to Stake SEI
Open Trust Wallet.
Select Earn.
Go to the Native Staking option.
Search for SEI and select it.
Tap Stake.
Choose the amount of SEI to stake.
Select a validator (a node that processes transactions and secures the Sei Network), or leave the default validator selected.
Tap Continue.
Review the staking details and tap Confirm to complete staking your SEI.
How to Unstake SEI
From the main wallet page, go to Earn.
Select SEI.
Choose Unstake.
Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm unstaking your SEI.
Note: Once you tap Unstake, your SEI balance will not be reflected immediately in your wallet. Your unstaked SEI will remain in a lockup period of approximately 1–2 days before it appears in your wallet. To check your balance and the status of your unstaked SEI, enter your wallet address on SEI Scan (the Sei Network block explorer) for a more detailed view.
