How to Stake Sui for Ecosystem Airdrops
Here’s how:
- Get Sui Wallet
There are about 5 or 6 wallets that support Sui and its ecosystem, including Sui’s own Sui wallet, Martian wallet, Suiet wallet, and Surf wallet. Most of the protocols we will use in this guide only connect to the Sui wallet, so we prefer to use the Sui wallet.
- Fund your wallet with SUI tokens
Fund your wallet with SUI tokens. We will use 600 SUI to perform Sui ecosystem staking operations to earn airdrops. You can purchase SUI on most major exchanges, including Bybit, OKX, and MEXC.

- Volo’s stake
Volo is Sui’s liquid staking platform that offers vSUI as staking rewards. To stake SUI on Volo, connect your wallet to https://stake.volosui.com/. Then enter the amount you want to stake and click “Stake”.
- Steak SUI on a Sea Otter
Haedal is a liquid staking protocol built on top of Sui that allows people to stake SUI for HaSUI rewards. The haSUI tokens can then be used in various DeFi applications in the Sui ecosystem. To stake Haedal, connect your wallet to https://www.haedal.xyz/stake. Then enter the amount you want to stake and click “Stake”.
- Bonus: Delegate SUI to validators
Delegate SUI tokens to validators. We will delegate half of the SUI, i.e. 300 SUI, to the validators. However, we will not delegate to any exchange because SUI is centralized. Instead, choose validators with the word “node” or “staking” in their name. Additionally, the project can only reward validators outside the top 20 and those who have staked, so it avoids validators who have already staked a lot of SUI.
However, unlike injective staking, nodes could not be found in projects that conducted their own airdrops. So the purpose of staking SUI to validators here is simply to get low fees and APR from airdrops. Note: no Eligibility criteria are determined by each project, ensuring that projects receive airdrops for staking. However, we do know that offering airdrop rewards for native staking is a big trend in the Cosmos ecosystem.
I delegated SUI to Stakefish because it was the non-exchange node that offered the highest APR (3.94% APR and 2% commission). See the list of validators here.
