Lava is a decentralized protocol designed to power Web3 infrastructure through staking and restaking mechanisms that secure the reliability of RPC services. By delegating your LAVA tokens, you not only earn passive rewards, but also help maintain the backbone of decentralized applications by supporting the validator and data provider ecosystem.
At 01NODE, we bring robust experience as a high-performance validator operating on multiple leading networks. With our dedicated infrastructure, consistent uptime, and transparent commission model, we ensure that your delegation actively contributes to the health and decentralization of the Lava network. As a validator capable of both securing consensus and participating in restaking for RPC services, 01NODE maximizes your rewards potential while reinforcing Lava’s mission for a decentralized and performant blockchain infrastructure.
Staking Process & Steps
Pre-requisites
- Keplr Wallet set to Lava mainnet
- LAVA tokens (use faucet for testnet)
- 01NODE validator address (fetch from explorer if needed)
1. Navigate to the Lava staking interface
To begin, go to the official Lava staking dashboard. One reliable platform is:
👉 https://lava-explorer.w3coins.io/Lava/staking
Once there, connect your Keplr Wallet by clicking the “Connect Wallet” button in the top-right corner. Make sure your wallet is set to the Lava network and that you have LAVA tokens available. (For testnet, you can use a faucet to get tokens.)
2. Access the staking section and choose 01NODE as validator
fter your wallet is connected, look for the “Stake” or “Validators” tab in the interface.
You’ll see a list of active validators. Use the search bar or scroll through the list to find 01NODE.
👉 Choosing 01NODE means you’re delegating to a validator with high uptime, independently managed infrastructure, and a strong track record across multiple networks — all of which contribute to better reliability and rewards.
3. Enter your staking amount and review the transaction fee
Once you click on 01NODE, a dialog box will appear allowing you to enter the amount of LAVA you wish to stake.
Double-check your entry and review the estimated transaction fee at the bottom. Fees are generally very low on Lava (usually less than 0.01 LAVA).
👉 If this is your first time staking, you can start with a smaller amount to familiarize yourself with the process.
4. Approve the transaction in Keplr Wallet
A Keplr confirmation window will now pop up.
Verify the validator name (01NODE), the amount you’re delegating, and the transaction fee. Then click “Approve”.
After a few seconds, your delegation will be confirmed on-chain, and you’ll begin earning staking rewards based on both validator performance and Lava’s reward model.
Post-stake info
Tokens will be delegated; rewards accrue from validators + RPC providers. To move stake, “unstake” and “redelegate” through Keplr.
