Stake MON with the LUX8 Monad Validator

LUX8 runs an enterprise-grade Monad validator. Delegating is non-custodial: your MON stays under your own control, LUX8 never holds or moves your tokens. APY and commission below are live, pulled directly from our public data feed.

Why Delegate to LUX8

Non-custodial by design

You delegate directly from your own wallet using Monad's native staking contract. Custody of your MON never changes hands; LUX8 only operates the validator node that produces blocks on your behalf.

Enterprise infrastructure

Hardware runs in enterprise-grade data centers with 24/7 monitoring and automated failover — the same operational standard as LUX8's other validators.

Transparent, live numbers

APY, commission, and total delegated stake are published live and used by this page — no stale marketing figures.

Multi-chain track record

LUX8 also runs validators for Solana, NEAR, Kusama, X1, and Pactus — see the full list on the homepage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does non-custodial MON staking mean?

Your MON never leaves your wallet or moves to LUX8. Delegation on Monad works by calling the protocol's delegate function from your own address to a validator; the tokens stay under your control the whole time. LUX8 only operates the validator node that produces blocks on your behalf.

What is the LUX8 Monad validator address?

0xc869F4CE49e0c56E04321C646DdDa65eA1C30778. Look for this exact validator address on MonadVision when choosing where to delegate.

What commission does the LUX8 Monad validator charge?

Commission is shown live at the top of this page, sourced directly from lux8.net/data.json. It can change over time, so check the live value before delegating.

How long does unstaking MON take?

Monad unstaking is a two-step protocol process: you undelegate first, then withdraw once the network's withdrawal delay has passed. Both delegation and withdrawal take effect at epoch boundaries (an epoch is about 5.5 hours), so unstaking typically takes roughly one to two epochs, around 5.5 to 11 hours. This is a network-level rule and applies regardless of which validator you delegate to.

How do I delegate to LUX8 from my wallet?

Open MonadVision, connect a wallet that holds MON, go to the Validators tab, search for the LUX8 validator address 0xc869F4CE49e0c56E04321C646DdDa65eA1C30778, and delegate the amount you want.
