Learn how to Delegate AP3X on Apex Fusion Prime Mainnet

What is Delegation?
Delegating AP3X allows you to participate in decentralizing and securing the Apex Fusion Prime network while earning rewards. The process is straightforward and requires a compatible wallet, AP3X tokens, and a little patience.
Prime features liquid staking, meaning your AP3X remains in your wallet and is never locked up. You retain full control of your funds at all times while still earning rewards.
01 Install a Wallet
You need a compatible wallet to store and stake AP3X
For the purpose of this guide, we will use the Eternl wallet (plugin).
02 Switch to the Apex Prime Network
In Eternl, you can switch to the Apex Prime network by following these steps
-
1Open your Eternl wallet.
-
2In the bottom right corner, click on Mainnet.
-
3Select APEX -> APEX Fusion Prime Mainnet.
-
4You should now see AF Prime Mainnet in the bottom right corner.

03 Create a Wallet
If you don't have a wallet yet, create one in Eternl
Navigate to Open Wallet > Add Wallet > Create Wallet.
Follow the on-screen prompts to set it up and securely store your seed phrase.

04 Send AP3X to Your Wallet
-
1Copy your Eternl receive address.
-
2Send AP3X from the exchange.
-
3Send a small test transaction first to ensure everything is set up correctly.
-
4Transactions may take up to 10 minutes to appear in your wallet.

05 Choose a Stake Pool
Once your AP3X tokens are in your wallet, go to the staking center and select a stake pool. Avoid pools that are saturated, as they yield lower rewards.
ROS e12 Metric
Represents the historical average staking rewards over the past 12 epochs. It provides an estimate of potential returns but fluctuates from epoch to epoch. Some pools may show 0% simply because they are new and have not yet produced blocks.
Fees
Details the fixed fee and margin fee set by the stake pool operator (SPO). These fees cover operational costs such as server maintenance, marketing, and time. Pools with fees set at 99% or 100% are private pools, delegating to them means you will not receive any staking rewards.
Once you've chosen a stake pool, click Delegate and follow the prompts to enter your spending password.
Currently, the protocol demands a small deposit of 2 AP3X and a transaction fee of approximately 0.17 AP3X to cover transaction costs.
06 Rewards Timeline
Understanding when and how you'll receive your staking rewards
-
1After delegating your AP3X tokens, the protocol will distribute your first rewards in 15 to 20 days.
-
2After this initial period, you'll continue to receive rewards every 5 days, as long as your stake pool is actively producing blocks.
-
3Your rewards automatically count towards your total amount delegated, so there's no need to withdraw them.
-
4If you add or remove AP3X from your wallet, your balance is automatically staked, there's no need to re-delegate or un-delegate.
-
5Moving from one stake pool to another is seamless. You'll continue receiving staking rewards from your current pool until your new delegation takes effect. There's no need to un-delegate before switching.
-
6No hidden fees, just a small transaction fee of ~0.17 AP3X as stated above.
