ZetaChain is an EVM-compatible, omnichain Layer-1 blockchain designed to unify assets and data across all chains, including non-smart contract chains like Bitcoin. Through its native Proof of Stake mechanism, ZetaChain relies on delegators and validators to maintain consensus, ensure security, and validate cross-chain activity. By staking your ZETA tokens, you not only earn rewards proportional to your stake, but also support the integrity of one of the most ambitious interoperability projects in the blockchain space.
As a validator, 01NODE aligns closely with ZetaChain’s decentralization-first ethos. We offer consistently high uptime, a low commission structure, and operate with our own infrastructure — ensuring network resilience and validator independence. By choosing to delegate your ZETA to 01NODE, you’re staking with a trusted partner who prioritizes reliability, security, and transparency.
How to Stake ZETA with 01NODE – Step-by-Step Guide
Pre-requisites
- A compatible wallet with ZETA
- Connect to ZetaHub
- 01NODE’s Zeta validator address
1. Visit the ZetaHub Dashboard
To begin staking, head over to the official ZetaChain staking platform:
Click on the “Stake” tab in the top menu. This section displays your current ZETA balance, active delegations, and the validator list.
Make sure your wallet is connected and set to the ZetaChain mainnet. You’ll need some ZETA tokens and a small amount set aside for gas fees.
2. Find and select 01NODE as your validator
In the validators list, scroll or use the search bar to locate 01NODE. Click on the validator name to open the delegation panel.
Here, you can review important metrics such as:
- Uptime percentage – shows validator availability.
- Commission rate – the fee taken from rewards.
- Voting power – the validator’s relative stake in the network.
Choosing a validator like 01NODE with high uptime and low, transparent fees helps ensure you receive stable rewards while contributing to decentralization.
3. Enter the amount you want to delegate and proceed to stake
Once you’ve selected 01NODE, click “Stake” or “Delegate” on their profile panel. A dialog will appear prompting you to enter the number of ZETA tokens you wish to delegate.
Type the desired amount (note: keep a small amount of ZETA for fees) and double-check all the information.
Then, click the “Stake” or “Confirm” button to proceed.
4. Approve the transaction in your wallet
A pop-up will appear from your wallet, asking you to approve the staking transaction.
Review:
- The validator name: 01NODE
- The staked amount
- The estimated gas fee
Click “Approve” or “Sign” to authorize the transaction. Within a few seconds, your stake will be active, and rewards will start to accumulate based on network emissions and validator performance.
