This guide will walk you through the process of staking XTZ using Trust Wallet. XTZ is the native cryptocurrency of the Tezos network, a Layer 1 blockchain known for its unique self-amending cryptographic ledger and energy-efficient consensus mechanism.


Key Details for Staking XTZ with Trust Wallet

  • Minimum Staking Amount: No minimum.
  • Lockup Period: None (Earning starts one day after staking)

    Note: During the staking period, both your staked XTZ and any rewards generated remain locked. Users will not have access to these funds until the unstaking process is completed.

  • Staking Yield (APR): View current rates in the "Earn" section of the Trust Wallet app.
  • Important: 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. Lockup specifics, including any time frames for staking and unstaking, are determined by the XTZ itself.

    Stay Updated: Ensure you have the latest version of Trust Wallet to access the most current staking options. Download here.
