FAQ and Troubleshooting
Find answers to commonly asked questions about Syndica and staking. See the full FAQ for more details.
What is Solana staking and how does it work?
The Solana network uses a Proof of Stake consensus mechanism where validators propose blocks and other validators vote on them. Staking is when you delegate your SOL tokens to a validator, increasing their voting power and earning a share of the rewards they generate. Learn more in our Staking Overview.
How do I start staking with Syndica?
Simply visit syndica.io/stake, connect your wallet, and follow the staking process. Your SOL remains in your self-custody - you're delegating stake, not transferring ownership. See our Staking Guide for detailed instructions.
What are the rewards and APY for staking with Syndica?
Staking with Syndica earns rewards at a competitive APY comparable to other top-performing validators. APY varies based on network activity and on-chain conditions, which are outside any validator's control. You can track APY across public dashboards like StakeWiz, Validators.app, and Rated. We charge 0% commission on all rewards, meaning you receive the maximum possible APY. Learn more about how rewards are calculated in our Staking Overview.
Is my SOL safe when staking with Syndica?
Yes. Your SOL remains in self-custody throughout the staking process. You own and control your stake account - Syndica never has access to your funds. You can unstake your SOL at any time through a simple deactivation transaction. There is no lock-up period beyond the normal epoch transitions (~2-3 days).
What is the difference between staking and delegation?
In Solana's terminology, "delegating" and "staking" refer to the same action: authorizing a validator to use your SOL for voting. Your stake weight increases the validator's voting power and influence in consensus.
How long does it take to stake or unstake SOL?
Staking and unstaking involve transactions that take effect at epoch boundaries (roughly every 2-3 days on mainnet). After a delegation transaction is confirmed, there's a warm-up period before stake activates. Similarly, deactivation takes effect the following epoch, followed by a cool-down before you can withdraw. See our Staking Overview for detailed timelines.
Can I unstake my SOL anytime?
Yes. You can initiate an unstake (deactivation) transaction at any time through your wallet or our staking app. The deactivation takes effect in the next epoch (~2-3 days), followed by a cool-down period before you can withdraw your SOL.
