Prerequisites ✨
- Keplr wallet
- Some KAVA tokens
Quick Note 📘
When unstaking your KAVA, you’re going to need to wait 21 days before you get access to your coins. Unfortunately, there’s no way around this as the staking system is purposely designed this way.
Staking KAVA 💰
- Head over to wallet.keplr.app and connect your Keplr wallet
- Under Kava, click on Stake
- Pick a validator that shares a good amount of revenue to stakers, then click on Manage > (the lower the Commission percentage, the better!)
- Click on Delegate
- Enter in the amount of KAVA you want to stake, then click on Delegate
- Approve the Keplr wallet transaction
Congratulations! You now have staked your KAVA.
Unstaking KAVA 🤑

Congratulations! You have now unstaked your KAVA. You will have access to your KAVA coins after 21 days.
Where can I buy KAVA? 🛒
You can buy KAVA on exchanges such as FTX and Binance. While you can also buy from other exchanges, we always recommend using reputable ones for better liquidity and better security.
Final Thoughts 🗒
Staking is great and all that, but always make sure your funds are secure. To achieve this, we always recommend using a nice hardware wallet like a Ledger.
