Learn how to stake upcoming tokens you’ve already purchased in Best Wallet. This guide walks you through the staking process and explains important details like gas fees, staking rewards, and where to view your staked balance.
Staking is an optional step that lets you lock your purchased tokens into a staking pool to earn rewards. Projects offering pre-launch staking will show this option directly in-app.
This guide is specifically for tokens purchased through the Upcoming Tokens tab that now support staking.
What is staking and why do it?
Staking allows you to earn rewards by locking your tokens in a pool. When you stake, your tokens are temporarily locked and cannot be traded, but you’ll earn staking rewards over time, depending on the project’s structure.
You can only stake if the project supports it and if staking is still open. You’ll also need a small amount of the native token (ETH or BNB) to pay a gas fee when submitting your stake.
Step 1: Go to the Upcoming Tokens tab
First, go to the Upcoming Tokens tab.
Scroll to the project you’ve already purchased and want to stake in. Tap on that project to view your token details.
Step 2: View your stakeable balance
On the project page, tap the Buy button — this opens your transaction screen.
Step 3: Stake your tokens
If staking is available, you’ll see a section showing how many tokens you own and how many are stakeable. You can only stake tokens you’ve already bought in the pre-launch sale.
You will also see the current APY — this depends on the project and at what stage of their pre-launch sale they're at.
If you have a stakeable balance, you’ll see a Stake button on this screen. Tap it to continue.
You’ll now see a transaction breakdown, including:
The number of tokens you’re staking.
The cost of the gas fee required to submit the transaction.
What are gas fees?
To complete your stake transaction, you’ll need to pay a gas fee. This is a blockchain fee that confirms your transaction.
On Ethereum, gas fees are paid in ETH.
On BNB Smart Chain, gas fees are paid in BNB.
We recommend keeping a small balance of the correct gas token in your wallet:
Ethereum: Keep at least $30–$50 in ETH.
BNB Chain: Keep at least $10–$20 in BNB.
Network activity can increase gas prices during busy times — if fees are unusually high, consider waiting. For more information, read our guide on gas fees.
Once you’ve reviewed everything, tap Stake to confirm and submit your transaction.
The process might take a few minutes — don't submit another staking transaction as you may incur several gas fees.
Once the transaction is completed, you can view your staked balance on the project's staking dashboard.
Where to view your staked balance
After staking, your tokens will move to the project’s staking dashboard. You’ll see a confirmation once the transaction is complete, and your staked tokens will be visible directly on that project's website.
Keep in mind:
Your staked tokens will be locked for the project’s staking period. To claim/withdraw them will depend on when the project's claim period goes live and its unstaking period.
You may need to wait before you can unstake or claim rewards, depending on the project’s rules.
Need further support?
If you’re experiencing issues staking your tokens, please make sure:
You have enough ETH or BNB to pay the staking gas fee.
You’re using the same wallet that purchased the tokens.
The project still has staking open.
