Hello Stakers,

In this video, we give a beginner tutorial on how to stake your Solana to earn rewards, and improve the security of the Solana network.
Will you be staking some SOL now? What are your thoughts?


This is a beginner's overview for someone quite new to crypto. Use timestamps, pause, and change the speed (slower or faster) if needed.

My goal is to make things super simple as, for most, crypto is too difficult currently.
