Stake FTM
We have made a separate testnet version of Fantom Liquid Staking on Fantom Testnet (opens in a new tab)!
Anybody interested to test Liquid Staking without spending mainnet FTM, come and try it!
Make sure you have a small surplus of FTM to pay the gas fees for the staking transaction.
For Fantom Liquid Staking, Ankr deducts a 15% technical service fee from the accumulated rewards.
There are no more new stakes getting aFTMb token. However, old stakes with aFTMb keep generating you rewards. You can also switch aFTMb for ankrFTM now (opens in a new tab) (supply is limited).
- Visit Ankr Staking (opens in a new tab).
- Locate the Fantom (FTM) box and click Stake in it.
- Enter the desired amount of ETH to stake and click Get ankrFTM (ex-aFTMс).
- Confirm the transaction in your wallet.
- Add the liquid staking token to your wallet, clicking Add ankrFTM to wallet.
- Click Go to dashboard to see the added token. You may need to wait a little for the transaction to finalize and Dashboard to automatically update.
To reflect your staking rewards, your ankrFTM keeps growing in price to FTM, never changing in number.
To get more yield out of your Liquid Staking tokens, visit Ankr DeFi (opens in a new tab).
