Choosing the best wallet comes down to your personal preference as well as the technical capabilities of the wallet you are using. The NEAR Wallet is the only wallet supported by the NEAR Core team and NEAR foundation, but there are a number of other community wallets and custody solutions live on NEAR like the Dokia Capital Staking application and Moonlet’s Wallet.

To pick a wallet, you will need to identify how you got your NEAR tokens. Some early NEAR community contributors received their tokens inside Lockup Contracts. This means their Token balance will unlock over time. Only certain Wallets like the NEAR Wallet support locked tokens at this time.

If you have unlocked tokens, most wallet providers and custody solution options should be compatible for you to stake with.

The final consideration in choosing a wallet provider for staking is that some staking providers and wallets don’t allow you to choose a staking pool or only support certain staking pools. If there is a specific Validator or staking pool you have in mind, you may need to find a wallet compatible with their pool.
