How do I stake POL with StakeCraft?
+Connect an Ethereum wallet holding POL and some ETH for gas, then delegate to StakeCraft validator ID 155 — either with the "Stake POL now" button on this page or on the Polygon staking dashboard at staking.polygon.technology/validators/155.
What commission does StakeCraft charge on Polygon?
+As of 2026-10-15, StakeCraft charges 5% commission on Polygon validator ID 155, according to the Polygon staking API. The median across Polygon's 104 active validators is 3.5% and 56 charge less, so weigh commission together with uptime and how concentrated the validator's stake is.
Who should I delegate POL to?
+Choose a validator with a performance index of 100 and no missed checkpoints, a stable commission, and stake outside the few validators that dominate: as of 2026-10-15, just 4 validators hold a third of all staked POL. StakeCraft has a performance index of 97.28571428571429 and 19 missed checkpoints, 5% commission, 147 delegators, has run validator ID 155 since August 2023, and is #81 of 104 by stake, with 0.015% of all stake. The StakeCraft guide "How to choose a Polygon validator" explains each check.
Does delegating to a smaller Polygon validator help the network?
+Yes. As of 2026-10-15, 4 validators hold a third of all staked POL. Delegating to reliable validators outside that group, such as StakeCraft, which is #81 of 104 by stake, with 0.015% of all stake, spreads stake and makes Polygon PoS harder to halt or capture.
What is the StakeCraft Polygon validator ID?
+StakeCraft is Polygon PoS validator ID 155. The validator owner address is 0x6215CF116c6a96872486cDC7cb50f52e515cCD15, and delegations go through its ValidatorShare contract 0xf3c8D0c689fDf69B3c05b18F8a3E0B31F328fF7A.
Do I stake on Polygon or on Ethereum?
+On Ethereum mainnet. Polygon PoS staking contracts live on Ethereum, so you delegate POL held on Ethereum and pay gas in ETH, not on the Polygon chain itself.
How long does Polygon unbonding take?
+The unbonding period is 80 checkpoints. A checkpoint usually takes about 30 minutes and can take up to an hour when Ethereum is congested, so expect roughly 2–3 days before you can claim your POL.
Can I stake MATIC with StakeCraft?
+Polygon staking now uses POL, which replaced MATIC. Migrate MATIC on Ethereum to POL 1:1 through the Polygon Portal, then delegate the POL to validator ID 155.
Is Polygon staking with StakeCraft custodial?
+No. StakeCraft is a non-custodial staking provider. Your stake is held by the Polygon staking contracts and only your wallet can unbond or withdraw it.
