Staking $IO is one of the requirements for a worker to become Cluster Ready—which means it's eligible to be hired on io.net and start earning Block Rewards.
Follow these steps to stake your worker:
1️⃣ Open the Staking Page
- In your io.net dashboard, go to IO Worker → Staking.
Here you'll see your wallet balance, active stake, cooldown stake, and recent rewards.
2️⃣ Connect Your Wallet
To Stake $IO, you'll need to connect your supported crypto wallet (e.g., Phantom).
- Click Connect Crypto Wallet.
- Choose your wallet.
- Once connected, your wallet ID will appear on the page.
Staking more than the required amount will not increase rewards.
3️⃣ Stake to Your Worker
- In the Manage Your Stake & Devices section, find your worker you want to stake.
- Under Staking Actions, click Stake and enter the required $IO amount.
- Confirm the transaction in your wallet.
You can unstake your tokens at any time using the Unstake option next to each staked device. Once you do, your tokens will enter a 14-day cooldown period before they can be withdrawn. Keep in mind that tokens in cooldown don’t count toward the staking requirement for your device to receive Block Reward
