How to Stake FLUX with ZelCore Earn
This guide walks you through staking FLUX using ZelCore's Earn feature. You'll learn how to navigate to Earn, select a wallet and chain, choose a lockup tier, and confirm your stake.
Prerequisites
- A ZelCore wallet with FLUX tokens (minimum 50 FLUX to stake)
- ZelCore desktop application installed and logged in
Step 1: Open the Earn Feature
Navigate to the Earn section using the side panel on the left. Click the Earn icon to open the staking dashboard.
The Earn dashboard displays an overview of your staking activity:
- Total Staked — The total amount of FLUX currently staked across all positions
- Total Rewards — Accumulated staking rewards
- Available to Stake — Your remaining unstaked FLUX balance
- Est. APY — The current estimated annual percentage yield
The dashboard also lists all your active staking positions with their lockup period, status, expiry, and Auto-Reinvest setting.
The Earn page has two tabs: Dashboard for managing your stakes and History for reviewing past staking transactions.
Step 2: Select a Wallet and Chain
Before staking, you need to select which wallet to stake from and which blockchain to use.
Select Wallet
Click on the Selected wallet dropdown to choose the wallet containing your FLUX.
Each wallet displays its name and total balance, making it easy to choose the right one.
Select Chain
Click on the Selected Chain dropdown to view supported chains.
ZelCore Earn currently supports staking on the following chains:
| Chain | Status |
|---|---|
| Solana | Active |
| Ethereum | Active |
| Flux | Active |
Select Flux to stake FLUX tokens.
Step 3: Enter the Stake Amount
Click the Stake button in the top-right corner to begin the staking process. The wizard walks you through four steps: Enter Amount, Select Lockup Tier, Confirm Stake, and Processing.
Enter the amount of FLUX you want to stake. You can also click MAX to stake your full available balance.
The minimum stake amount is 50 FLUX. Your available balance is shown below the input field.
Click Continue to proceed.
Step 4: Select a Lockup Tier
Choose your preferred lockup period. Longer lockup periods offer lower fees and higher estimated APY.
| Lockup Period | Fee % | Est. APY |
|---|---|---|
| 3 months | 20% | ~12.10% |
| 6 months | 15% | ~12.90% |
| 1 year | 10% | ~13.70% |
Select your preferred tier. In this example, we select 1 year for the lowest fee and highest APY.
Auto-Reinvest
The Auto-Reinvest toggle automatically re-stakes your rewards when they are distributed. This is enabled by default and can be toggled on or off based on your preference.
Enabling Auto-Reinvest compounds your staking rewards over time, maximizing your returns.
Click Next to proceed.
Step 5: Confirm Your Stake
Review the summary of your staking configuration before confirming.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Staked | 75 FLUX |
| Lockup | 1 year |
| Transaction Fee | 10% |
| Est. APY | ~13.70% |
| Auto-Reinvest | Yes |
Your funds will be locked until the lockup period expires. In this example, funds are locked until 3/13/2027. You will not be able to withdraw them before this date.
The Transaction Fee is a fee deducted from your staking rewards, not an upfront charge on your staked amount.
Click Confirm Stake to submit your staking transaction.
Step 6: Staking Confirmation
After submitting, the transaction is processed and you'll see a success screen.
The confirmation displays:
- A TX ID for your transaction
- A Show in explorer link to view the transaction on the blockchain
- Options to go back to the Dashboard or Stake More
Verifying Your Stake
After returning to the dashboard, you can see your new staking position in the list. New stakes will initially show a Confirming or Registered status before transitioning to Active.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Registered | Stake has been submitted and is awaiting processing |
| Confirming | Transaction is being confirmed on the blockchain |
| Active | Stake is live and earning rewards |
