How does staking Solana work?
Staking Solana involves securing the network by locking up SOL tokens to support transaction validation. In return, stakers earn rewards, meaning more SOL, for their contribution to network security and decentralisation. As with other cryptos, staking Solana requires technical knowledge and on-chain experience: CoinShares Staking ETPs allow investors to gain exposure to tokens and gain rewards directly on their brokerage account.
How much Solana do I need to stake?
Should you look at staking Solana yourself on-chain, there could be a threshold depending on the platform used. In any case, you would need to buy SOL on a crypto exchange, withdraw your tokens to a wallet, and process transactions to finally stake your assets. The CoinShares Solana Staking ETP does the work for you with real SOL automatically bought and staked based on your investment. The minimum to invest in CoinShares Solana Staking ETP might depend on your investment platform and is usually 1 share (or unit) of the ETP.
