How to stake KSM with Polkadot JS

Our staking tutorials provide comprehensive guidelines on how to stake KSM. Are you ready to join our staking community?

Follow this step by step below

Create your nominator account

Enter into the Kusama APP located at polkadot.js.org - kusama and create a new account if you don't have one yet. It is recommended to create two different accounts: a stash account, which will hold the nomination, and a controller account to manage this nomination. But you can perform the process with just one account.

Complete the nomination setup

Select Staking on the upper menu's Network submenu, then click on Nominator on Account actions.

Select stash account and controller account on the setup nominator page, then fill in the amount you want to stake and click Next. As said before, the stash and controller account can be the same wallet. You can also select the payment destination. The default selection will auto-compound your rewards.
