How to stake RUJI and SUI

Which assets you can stake in THORWallet Earn, how to stake and unstake them step by step, and how each one pays its rewards.

Short answer

Open Earn, tap RUJI or SUI under Non-stablecoins, enter an amount on the Deposit tab and confirm. To unstake, open the position and use the Withdraw tab. Rates are variable and not guaranteed.

Staking locks an asset in its own network or in a staking protocol. In return the protocol pays rewards. THORWallet sends the transaction from your wallet and never holds the staked assets.

Risk

Rates are variable and not guaranteed. The price of the staked asset can fall, and staking protocols carry smart-contract risk. Nothing here is investment advice.

RUJI and SUI staking are in the mobile app.

Before you start

  • Hold the asset you want to stake in the selected wallet.
  • Hold the native coin for the network fee: RUNE for RUJI, SUI for SUI. Keep a little SUI unstaked so that you can pay the fee for unstaking later.

Stake

  1. Open the Earn tab.
  2. Under Non-stablecoins, tap RUJI or SUI.
  3. For SUI, select a validator.
  4. On the Deposit tab, enter the amount and tap Next.
  5. Check the details under Review order and tap Deposit.

With a vault, THORWallet asks your other devices to sign the transaction together.

Your position then appears under My positions.

Unstake

  1. Open the Earn tab and tap your position under My positions.
  2. Open the Withdraw tab, enter the amount and tap Next.
  3. Check the details and tap Withdraw.

For SUI, you return afSUI and Aftermath sends SUI back. This is not always instant.

How rewards reach you

  • RUJI: rewards are compounded automatically. The app shows them as part of your staked balance.
  • SUI: you hold afSUI, a liquid token that represents your staked SUI. Its value in SUI reflects the staking rewards.

The rate next to each asset is a current figure from the protocol. It changes over time.

If something goes wrong

  • Halted: THORChain has paused the action. Wait until the network resumes it.
  • Minimum stake: 1 SUI: enter at least 1 SUI.
  • Please, select a validator: choose a validator first. If the list does not load, tap Retry.
  • Not enough to pay the network fee: add RUNE or SUI to the wallet.

More cases are in Earn troubleshooting.

Common questions

Is there a minimum amount for staking SUI?

Yes. The minimum stake is 1 SUI, and you have to select a validator before you can continue.

Can I stake with a vault?

In the mobile app a vault can stake SUI. RUJI staking needs a seed wallet.

Why does the app show Halted?

THORChain has paused staking or unstaking for that asset. You cannot continue until the network resumes it. Your position stays where it is.
