Aptos is one of the fastest and most secure Layer-1 blockchains built using the Move programming language. It’s designed to bring safety, scalability, and reliability to Web3 applications. Like other Proof-of-Stake networks, Aptos allows token holders to stake their APT and help secure the network while getting on-chain rewards.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to stake your APT tokens using the Everstake Dashboard, a simple non-custodial interface that lets you delegate to Everstake in just a few clicks. We’ll walk through every step, from connecting your wallet to tracking rewards.
Why Stake APT?
Staking APT strengthens the Aptos blockchain by helping validators maintain network security and stability. When you stake your tokens with a trusted validator like Everstake, you contribute to decentralization and receive rewards directly on-chain.
Key benefits of staking APT:
- Non-custodial: you always keep ownership of your tokens.
- Consistent rewards: generated automatically from network operations.
- Support for decentralization: by delegating to a reliable validator.
Staking also encourages long-term commitment to the Aptos ecosystem. It aligns the interests of token holders and validators, ensuring that the network continues to grow sustainably. Everstake’s transparent infrastructure and enterprise-grade security make it easier for users to participate confidently, without relying on intermediaries platforms.
