How to Stake XPRT (Persistence)

Learn how to stake XPRT tokens with the Keplr Wallet browser extension via Blockdaemon in this step-by-step guide.

The Persistence blockchain is a Tendermint-based, specialized Layer-1 network powering an ecosystem of DeFi applications.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to stake XPRT tokens with the Keplr Wallet browser extension. Note that the staking process is non-custodial, which means that you are in full control of your private keys.

Here’s how to stake your Persistence XPRT tokens:

Step 1 – Access Your Keplr Wallet

  • Go to keplr.app, and download and install the Keplr Wallet for the relevant browser.
  • Click the Kepler icon to open the Keplr Wallet.

    ],
    "align": "center",
    "border": true
    }
    ]
    }
    [/block]
  • You can now see your XPRT balance. If you don’t have any XPRT tokens in your wallet, you’ll have to fund your wallet. How you deposit tokens to the Keplr Wallet varies depending on which XPRT wallet you’re transferring the tokens from.

Caution!
