# Solana Solana staking allows you to earn rewards by helping secure the network. When you stake your SOL, you delegate it to a validator who participates in consensus on your behalf. Your funds remain in your control, and you can choose when to deactivate and withdraw them. Staking is non-custodial, meaning your SOL is never transferred to another party, and you can track or manage your stake at any time. It's a simple and effective way to support the Solana ecosystem while earning passive income. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
