On the other hand we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled ralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness
Must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances.
Native staking on the Polygon Staking Portal is the most direct way to earn MATIC rewards while supporting the security of the Polygon PoS network. This guide walks you through every step of the process.
What Is Polygon Native Staking?
Polygon uses a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism. Validators run full nodes and stake large amounts of MATIC to process transactions. As a regular token holder, you can become a delegator — assigning your tokens to an existing validator and earning a share of their rewards without running your own node.
Requirements Before You Start
To stake MATIC natively, you will need a Web3 wallet such as MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, or Trust Wallet. Your MATIC tokens must be ERC-20 tokens on the Ethereum network, not on the Polygon mainnet. This is a common mistake — the staking contract runs on Ethereum, not Polygon.
Step-by-Step: How to Stake MATIC on the Polygon Portal
- Open your MetaMask wallet and select the Ethereum network.
- Visit staking.polygon.technology and click "Connect Wallet."
- Browse the list of validators. Review their commission rates and uptime history.
- Click "Delegate" on your chosen validator.
- Enter the amount of MATIC you want to stake and confirm the transaction.
- Pay the Ethereum gas fee to complete the delegation.
Unstaking Period
When you decide to unstake, there is an unbonding period of approximately 80 checkpoints, which typically takes 3 to 4 days. During this time your tokens are locked and you will not earn rewards.
Choosing a Validator
Polygon's validator set is capped at 105 active validators. When choosing, look for validators with high uptime, low commission rates, and a track record of consistent performance. Staking with smaller validators also helps decentralize the network, making it more resilient to threats.
Gas Fees
Native staking requires two Ethereum transactions: one to approve the staking contract and one to delegate your tokens. Both require ETH for gas fees. Factor this cost into your staking strategy, especially if you are staking a smaller amount of MATIC.
