How to Deposit on Stake with Crypto (Step-by-Step 2025)

What You’ll Need Before Depositing

Before sending crypto to Stake, make sure you have everything ready. A few checks now will prevent lost or delayed transactions later.

• A crypto wallet or exchange with enough balance
• The correct blockchain network (BTC → Bitcoin, not BNB Chain)
• Enough to cover the amount + network fee

💡 Tip: Always double-check that your wallet and Stake use the same coin network before sending.

Step 2: Go to Wallet → Deposit

Once you’re logged in, click the wallet icon at the top right of your screen.

Now, select Deposit. This opens your Stake wallet, where you’ll see all available cryptocurrencies.
Use the search bar if you want to find your coin faster.

Step 3: Choose your Cryptocurrency

Select the coin you want to deposit, such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), or Litecoin (LTC).
Stake will display your unique deposit address and a QR code you can scan with your wallet.

Note: Always make sure the selected coin and blockchain network in your wallet or exchange match Stake’s address. Sending crypto on the wrong network can lead to permanent loss of funds.

If you prefer, you can also make a direct deposit on Stake by connecting your exchange account, such as Binance, Coinbase, or Bitfinex, directly to Stake.
This lets you transfer crypto faster without using an external wallet.

Step 4: Send Funds from your Wallet or Exchange

Copy your Stake deposit address or scan the QR code shown on screen.
Then, go to your personal wallet or exchange (like Binance, Coinbase, or Bitfinex) and start a crypto withdrawal.
Paste your Stake address in the destination field, choose the correct network, and confirm the amount.

Step 5: Wait for Blockchain Confirmations

After you send your crypto, the transaction must be verified on the blockchain before appearing in your Stake balance.
Stake detects deposits automatically once the required number of confirmations is reached.

Coin	Confirmations Required	Average Time
Bitcoin (BTC)	1–3 blocks	5–30 minutes
Ethereum (ETH)	12 blocks	3–6 minutes
Litecoin (LTC)	6 blocks	2–10 minutes
Tron (TRX)	1 block	1–2 minutes

🧠 You can track your transaction using the TX ID (transaction ID) from your wallet or exchange.
Stake will credit your funds automatically as soon as the blockchain confirms them.

Step 6: Check your Stake Balance

Once the blockchain confirms your transaction, your crypto will appear in your Stake wallet balance automatically.
