By staking AVAX with Nansen, you’re not just earning rewards. You’re supporting one of the most trusted names in blockchain analytics.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the simple 3-step process to stake AVAX with Nansen and start earning.
Why Stake with Nansen?
As a leading blockchain analytics platform, Nansen provides unmatched transparency and insights into crypto activity. With our recent integration as a validator on Avalanche, you now have the opportunity to delegate your AVAX to a validator that lives and breathes blockchain data — ensuring reliability, security, and long-term alignment with the Avalanche ecosystem.
How to Stake AVAX with Nansen: Step-by-Step
1. Download the Core Wallet
To get started, download the official Core Wallet from Avalanche. It’s your all-in-one wallet to manage AVAX across the X-, C-, and P-Chains, and is optimized for staking on Avalanche’s P-Chain.
Tip: Ensure your wallet is secured with a strong password and back up your seed phrase in a safe place.
2. Fund Your P-Chain Balance
Staking on Avalanche requires transferring AVAX to the P-Chain. Here’s how:
- In your Core Wallet, navigate to the “Cross Chain” tab.
- Transfer at least 25 AVAX (the minimum required to delegate) from your C-Chain to the P-Chain.
- Confirm the transaction and wait for it to complete.
3. Delegate to Nansen’s Validator
Once your AVAX is on the P-Chain, it’s time to stake:
- Head over to Nansen’s validator page on Avascan.
- Click on “Delegate,” select the amount, and choose your staking duration.
- Confirm the transaction through your Core Wallet.
That’s it — you’re now staking AVAX with Nansen.
What’s Next?
Once your delegation is active, your AVAX will earn rewards based on Avalanche’s current staking yield. You can monitor your validator’s performance directly on Avascan or through your Core Wallet.
And remember — staking with Nansen means aligning with a data-driven leader in crypto. Whether you’re here for the rewards or to support Avalanche’s decentralization, it’s a win either way.
Happy staking!
