Staking XNT means delegating it to a validator from your own wallet: X1 runs the Solana Virtual Machine, so it works like Solana staking and your XNT never changes hands. This guide walks through the four steps with the LUX8 validator as the example. Commission and total stake below are live, pulled from our public data feed.
Live figures fetched from lux8.net/data.json, the same feed used on the homepage. X1 is a young network — rewards depend on inflation and total stake, so no fixed APY is promised here.
Never take a validator's word for it — check the on-chain identity yourself. This is the LUX8 vote account on X1 mainnet:

Compare it against every other operator on the X1 validator list, which shows commission, stake and vote performance for the whole network.
Delegating creates a stake account owned by your wallet. LUX8 can never move, spend or withdraw your XNT — it only votes and produces blocks on your behalf.
X1 is an SVM chain, so it runs on the same tooling, monitoring and failover practice LUX8 uses for its Solana validators — not a side experiment.
Commission and total delegated stake are published live on this page. No stale marketing figures and no promised yield.
Stake spread across independent operators makes X1 harder to disrupt. LUX8 is an independent operator, not part of a large staking conglomerate.
X1 uses Solana-compatible wallets. Keep a small amount of XNT unstaked to cover transaction fees.
Go to x1.stake-manager.net and connect your wallet. The app is non-custodial: it builds the transaction, your wallet signs it.
Select the validator with vote account 6AXWpc…PWnDn, or open its page directly from the link at the top of this guide, then enter the amount to delegate.
Your wallet signs the delegation; a stake account is created under your control. Stake activates at the next epoch boundary and starts earning from then on.
X1 (formerly Xolana) is a Solana Virtual Machine chain, so it uses the same validator and delegation model as Solana: validators run vote accounts and holders delegate to them from their own wallets. XNT is the native token, used for staking and fees.
Open x1.stake-manager.net, connect the wallet holding your XNT, choose the LUX8 validator, enter an amount and confirm. A stake account is created that stays under your control; delegation activates from the next epoch.
Yes. The stake account belongs to your wallet. LUX8 never holds, moves or withdraws your XNT. You can deactivate and withdraw at any time, subject to the network's cooldown period.
Yes, if the wallet can connect to X1: it uses Solana-compatible addresses and transactions, so you add the X1 mainnet RPC to your wallet, connect it at x1.stake-manager.net and sign the delegation there. The wallet only signs; the stake account stays under your address.
Almost all charge 10%. Read from the X1 mainnet RPC (getVoteAccounts) on 2026-10-08: of 470 active validators, 457 charge 10%, 12 charge 0% and one charges 1%, so the median is 10%. LUX8 charges 10%, the same as the typical operator; the live figure is shown at the top of this page. Commission is taken from rewards, not from your stake.
Deactivate the stake account in the Stake Manager, wait for the cooldown to end at an epoch boundary, then withdraw to your wallet. The rules are the same as for Solana stake accounts and are set by the network, not by the validator. Stake deactivates at the end of the current epoch, so it can be withdrawn after that boundary.
Check commission, vote reliability and how much stake the operator already holds. Spreading delegation across independent operators rather than concentrating it in the largest ones keeps the validator set decentralised. Compare every operator on the X1 validator list.
Stake activates at the next epoch boundary and earns from then on, following the same warm-up rules as Solana. Rewards depend on network inflation, total stake and validator performance, which is why this page shows live figures instead of a promised yield.
Stake XNT to LUX8 from your own wallet — your keys, your tokens, at any time reversible.
