Stake your POL

We have made a separate testnet version of Polygon Liquid Staking on Polygon Testnet (opens in a new tab)!
Anybody interested to test Liquid Staking without spending mainnet POL, come and try it!

Make sure you have a small surplus of POL or ETH to pay the gas fees for the staking transaction.
Normally, it is around 0.0005 ETH and a fraction of POL, but may vary depending on the transaction complexity and network transaction load.
Ankr deducts a technical service fee of 5% from your staking reward, each reward cycle.

  1. Visit Ankr Staking (opens in a new tab).
  2. Locate the Polygon (POL) box and click Stake in it.
  3. Select network to stake on: Ethereum (regular unstaking time and technical service fee) or Polygon (instant unstaking, higher technical service fee).
  4. Enter the desired amount to stake and click Approve to allow Ankr Staking smart contracts to unstake for you.
  5. Confirm your approval in MetaMask.
  6. Click Get ankrPOL.
  7. Confirm the transaction in your wallet.
  8. Add the liquid staking token to your wallet, clicking Add ankrPOL.
  9. 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 ankrPOL keeps growing in price to POL, never changing in number.
