How To

Start with a wallet listed on Tools & Info. Good beginner options include Keplr, Galaxy Station, Trust Wallet, Cosmostation, LUNC Dash, Vultisig, and Orbitar.

Only download from the wallet's official website or app store listing. After install, choose Create wallet, set a password or device lock, and write the recovery phrase on paper or another offline backup.

Never keep your recovery phrase in screenshots, cloud notes, Telegram, Discord, or email. If someone gets that phrase, they control the wallet.

To fund your wallet, copy your Terra Classic address from the wallet and send LUNC or USTC to that address on the correct Terra Classic network. If you are sending from an exchange, always start with a small test amount first.

To withdraw, paste the destination address carefully and double-check the chain. If the receiving platform gives you a memo or tag, include it exactly as shown or the funds may not credit properly.

A good rule is: verify the first and last characters, test small, then send the main amount only after the test clears.

Once your wallet is funded, open the wallet's staking section, choose a validator, and delegate the amount you want to stake. Keep a small amount of LUNC unstaked so you can still pay transaction fees later.

Before staking, compare validators on Validators so you can review rank, commission, voting power, jailed status, and other live stats.

If you want to support your validator directly, you can also use the staking call-to-action in the site header or mobile menu.

Open the staking section in your wallet, select the validator, and use the Claim or Withdraw rewards option. Many users then re-stake those rewards to compound over time.

Small balances usually do not need very frequent claims, because each claim costs gas. A simple beginner approach is to claim when the rewards are meaningfully larger than the fee.

After claiming, you can confirm the transaction on Transactions or on Terra Finder.

Look at commission, uptime, voting power share, website details, communication, and whether the validator has a clean recent record. Low commission is not the only thing that matters.

It is usually safer to avoid putting your entire balance with one validator. Splitting between trusted validators can reduce concentration risk.

Right now the bonded validator set is capped at 110, and the protocol minimum commission is 2.5%. Those live values matter when comparing operators.

If you undelegate, your funds do not come back instantly. Terra Classic currently uses an unbonding period of about 21 days.

If you only want to move to a better validator, redelegation is usually the cleaner option because it lets you shift stake without fully unstaking first.

Still, redelegation has chain rules too, so do not treat it like unlimited instant switching. For beginners, it is best to move carefully and keep records of what you changed.

If your LUNC is staked, you can vote through a wallet that supports Terra Classic governance. Open the governance section, read the proposal, then submit your vote while keeping a little LUNC available for gas.

A helpful habit is to read the discussion before voting. The proposal summary alone rarely tells the whole story.

Delegators can usually override the validator's vote with their own. That means staking does not remove your voice from governance.

Never share your seed phrase, private key, or wallet backup with anyone. No real admin, validator, wallet app, or support person should ever ask for it.

Avoid random direct messages, fake support accounts, giveaway promises, and links sent in chat. Bookmark the sites you actually use and open them from your own bookmarks rather than from messages.

Always double-check validator addresses, destination addresses, and the chain you are sending on. A tiny test transaction is one of the simplest and best safety habits.

Start with the community resources on Tools & Info. That page now links you straight to wallets, forums, explorer tools, and Telegram groups.

For discussion, governance context, and general ecosystem reading, the forums are usually a better starting point than random social media replies.

If you want live chat, the validator Telegram group is a useful place to read along and ask questions carefully.

Keep a little LUNC in your wallet at all times for gas. If you fully stake or fully send everything out, you can temporarily trap yourself without enough to move again.

Use the site regularly: Stats for the main dashboard, Validators for staking choices, Governance for proposals, and Tools & Info for wallet and community links.

If you want the dashboard on your phone, you can also use Download App to add StatsBin to your home screen.
