SODAX Stake is a dedicated area within the SODAX ecosystem that allows you to put your SODA tokens to work. By "staking" your assets, you can contribute to the stability of the protocol and, in return, earn rewards over time.
⌛ Rewards for SODAX Stake will begin on April 8, 2026. Ensure you are staked by this time to maximize your rewards.
For a beginner, you can think of staking like a savings account for money held as SODA, but with a few key differences unique to the world of Decentralized Finance (DeFi).

What to expect from SODAX Stake
If you are new to DeFi and staking, there are some key points to keep in mind before you start:
xSODA: When you deposit SODA into the staking app, you receive xSODA in return. This is a yield-bearing “liquid staking” token that represents your share of the staking pool.
Growing Value: Unlike a traditional bank where you see your balance increase in cents, xSODA is designed to increase in value relative to SODA. This means that when you eventually unstake, your xSODA will be worth more SODA than when you started.
Unstaking Periods: In many DeFi protocols, including SODAX, there is often a waiting period when you decide to "unstake" your tokens. This is the time you must wait before you receive your SODA tokens back. This ensures the system remains stable and prevents sudden, massive shifts in liquidity.
Variable APY: The Annual Percentage Yield (APY) will change over time as the rewards increasing the value of xSODA are based on fees generated by the SODAX system.
💡 Make sure you have gas before staking. To be able to stake your SODA on a network, you will need to have a small amount of that network’s “gas token” to pay for the transaction (eg. S token on the Sonic Network).
Step-by-Step Guide to Stake SODA on SODAX Stake
Open SODAX Stake.
Head to sodax.com and click ‘Launch Apps’ in the top-right.
Ensure that ‘Stake’ is selected on the left-hand menu.
Connect your wallet(s) for networks you hold SODA on and want to stake from.

Select the network you want to stake from.
On the Stake page, click the drop-down menu next to “Stake SODA”.
From the menu that appears, click the network that you hold the SODA on that you want to stake.
The screen should now show your SODA balance.
You may also be asked to enable the network by your wallet (if you were previously connected to another). If this happens, enable the new network.
Enter the amount of SODA you wish to stake.
By using the slider, clicking “max” next to your balance, or by entering an amount directly into the numeric field, choose how much SODA you want to stake.
The menu below will show how much xSODA you will receive, and the expected APY (variable).
Check that staking is right for you.
Click ‘Stake’ and you will be reminded of what staking involves, including that you will receive xSODA (representing your stake), a reminder that APY is variable, and details of how long you must wait to unstake your SODA.
Stake your SODA.
Once you have reviewed the details, click “Continue” to proceed.
Then approve the transaction on your selected network.
You may now be redirected to your wallet application, authorize the network to connect.
Confirm the transaction.
Now click “Stake”
You will be redirected to your wallet application, authorize the transaction to stake your SODA.

If you stay on the stake modal you can watch the progress until the message “Stake complete” appears.
You have now completed your SODA stake and have received xSODA!
