# Native staking

> Delegate SOL, HYPE and AVAX directly to network validators.

Native staking delegates your tokens directly to a validator on the network itself. Your tokens never pass through an extra smart contract layer. You keep ownership, and you can only withdraw them back to your own wallet.

DYXY supports native staking for three networks: **Solana (SOL)**, **Hyperliquid (HYPE)** and **Avalanche (AVAX)**. Each network has its own rules.

## Rules by network

| | SOL | HYPE | AVAX |
| - | - | - | - |
| Minimum | Small, enough to cover rent for the stake account | No minimum delegation | 25 AVAX |
| Lock | None after activation | 1 day per delegation | The period you choose, 2 weeks to 1 year |
| Activation | At the start of the next epoch, about 2 days | Immediate | Immediate, for the chosen period |
| Unstaking time | Until the end of the current epoch, about 2 days | 7-day unstaking queue | Returned automatically at the end of the period |
| Rewards | Every epoch, added to your stake | Accrue continuously, distributed daily and restaked | Paid at the end of the period |
| Validator commission | Set by each validator | Set by each validator | Set by each validator, minimum 2% |

## Solana

**1. Choose a validator**

DYXY lists validators with their commission, APY and uptime.

**2. Enter an amount and stake**

Confirm the transaction. DYXY creates a stake account that you own and delegates it.

**3. Wait for activation**

The stake becomes active at the next epoch boundary. Rewards start from then.

To unstake, click **Unstake**. Your stake deactivates at the end of the current epoch, after which you can withdraw the SOL to your wallet.

## Hyperliquid

**1. Choose a validator and amount**

Pick an active validator and enter how much HYPE to stake.

**2. Stake**

Your HYPE moves into your staking balance and is delegated. Each delegation is locked for 1 day.

Rewards accrue every minute, are distributed daily and are restaked automatically, so they compound. To withdraw, undelegate and then unstake. Moving HYPE out of staking goes through a **7-day unstaking queue**.

## Avalanche

**1. Choose a validator**

Pick a validator with enough remaining time and capacity for your delegation.

**2. Choose the amount and period**

The minimum is 25 AVAX. The period can be from 2 weeks up to 1 year, and cannot outlast the validator's own staking period.

**3. Stake**

Your AVAX is locked for the whole period. You cannot unstake early.

At the end of the period, your AVAX and the rewards are returned automatically.

> [!WARNING]
>
> AVAX delegations cannot be ended early. If you might need the funds before the end of the period, consider [liquid staking with sAVAX](https://docs.dyxy.io/earn/staking/liquid.md) instead.

## Choosing a validator

* **Commission.** A lower commission leaves more rewards for you.
* **Uptime.** A validator that is often offline earns fewer rewards.
* **Concentration.** Spreading stake across smaller validators helps keep the network decentralized.
