How to stake MATIC (Polygon) using TokenPocket mobile wallet
The Ethereum blockchain has its limitations e. g. low throughput, high gas fees, a delayed PoW finality, etc. The problem of scalability has become more and more challenging. Therefore, there is a great need for projects that can quickly, securely, and exquisitely solve this problem.
One of the best projects that most successfully cope with all the imperfections of Ethereum is Polygon. Polygon is a protocol and a framework for building and connecting Ethereum-compatible blockchain networks. Aggregating scalable solutions on Ethereum supporting a multi-chain Ethereum ecosystem.

Staking via TokenPocket mobile app
Important! MATIC staking is live on the Ethereum chain. For this, choose the ETH-1 chain.
In the Assets tab, you will find all the assets you have on your ETH address. For staking MATIC, you will need Ethereum (to pay commissions) and MATIC as well.
Then go to the Discover tab.
There you need to find the Polygon Bridge to connect to the Polygon wallet and start staking. If you don’t see the Polygon Bridge, please search it in the searching bar.
Great! In the open menu, scroll down to choose the Polygon Staking.
To start staking click please on Become a Delegator.
The next important step is selecting the validator.

Now it’s time to choose how many MATIC tokens you want to delegate. For this, enter the desired amount into the space or click MAX if you’re going to delegate all your MATIC assets. In this step, you will also see the estimated transaction fee. Make sure you have enough ETH to pay for it.
If everything is done click Continue.
The final step in MATIC staking is left. You will need to click Delegate to finish the delegating process and start earning rewards. Again you need to have enough ETH to cover the cost of the transaction fee.
