Stake NEAR with the LUX8 Validator Pool

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

Open MyNearWallet → How to Stake Manually

Live figures fetched from lux8.net/data.json, the same feed used on the homepage. No fixed promises — APY and commission can change.

Why Delegate to LUX8

Non-custodial by design

You delegate directly from your own NEAR account. Custody of your tokens never changes hands; LUX8 only operates the validator pool 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 Solana validator.

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, Monad, Kusama, X1, and Pactus — see the full list on the homepage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does non-custodial NEAR staking mean?

Your NEAR never leaves your wallet or moves to LUX8. You delegate directly from your NEAR account to the LUX8 validator pool. The pool can never move, spend, or withdraw your tokens — it only produces blocks and validates on your behalf.

What is the LUX8 NEAR validator pool ID?

lux.poolv1.near. Look for this exact pool ID when delegating from a NEAR wallet or block explorer.

What commission does the LUX8 NEAR 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.

Can I unstake my NEAR at any time?

Yes. You can unstake whenever you want. Withdrawal becomes available after NEAR's native unstaking waiting period, a protocol-level rule that applies regardless of which validator pool you delegate to.

How do I delegate to LUX8 from my NEAR wallet?

Open a NEAR wallet that supports staking (such as MyNearWallet), go to the staking section, search for the pool lux.poolv1.near, and delegate the amount you want.
