Fogo is a high-performance, fully SVM-compatible layer-1 blockchain that runs the same native programs as Solana (System, Vote, Stake), secured by proof-of-stake consensus. Holders of FOGO, Fogo’s native token, can earn rewards by staking and participating in network security. Anchorage Digital offers support for Fogo including custody and staking:
  • Custody your FOGO (deposit and withdraw)
  • Stake FOGO to a supported validator and collect rewards
Because Fogo uses the same Stake Program as Solana, the staking experience closely mirrors SOL staking. FOGO is native staking only — liquid staking (LSTs) is not supported.

​
Understanding your FOGO balances

Due to Fogo network requirements, Anchorage will hold a small amount of FOGO in your account. The different balances you might see in your wallet include: None of these reserves are fees, and all remain part of your account.

​
How to stake

1

Navigate to your wallet

Tap the vault, select the FOGO wallet, then tap Stake.
2

Enter the validator vote account

Enter the validator’s vote account address, then tap Next. Fogo does not show a validator drop-down — enter the vote account directly. The address must be a valid, currently-existing FOGO vote account, or the operation is rejected before signing. Use the reference list below to choose a validator.
3

Enter amount

Enter the amount you wish to stake, then tap Next. The minimum stake amount is 100.01 FOGO.
4

Review and approve

Optionally add a comment, then read the Fogo (FOGO) Staking Terms disclosure. Scroll to the bottom and tap Accept, then tap Review to approve. Once the operation’s quorum policy is met, the operation is signed and broadcast on-chain.
After staking, your stake begins a warmup of ~1 epoch before it becomes active. During warmup the position shows Staking in progress; once active it shows Staked. View it under Total staked → Staking positions (tap View details).

​
Fogo validators — reference list

You can stake to any valid, currently-existing FOGO vote account. Before submitting, Anchorage checks the address against the live network validator set and rejects anything that isn’t a real vote account. The list below is not an Anchorage-approved set — it’s a point-in-time snapshot of the validators currently on Fogo mainnet, to help you choose. Snapshot as of May 27, 2026. Fogo mainnet currently runs a curated set of validators (Zone 1 / APAC), all charging 10% commission. The active set can change, so verify current validators before staking. You delegate to the vote account address.

​
Fogo rewards

When you stake your FOGO, the protocol automatically re-stakes your rewards. Rewards are calculated at each epoch boundary and added directly to your active stake (auto-compounded) — there is no claim transaction and no separate “available to claim” balance. A Fogo epoch is much shorter than Solana’s: Fogo runs ~40ms blocks, so epochs are on the order of hours and rewards post several times a day.
Fogo uses a multi-local (“zone”) consensus system where one zone of validators is active per epoch. If your validator’s zone is inactive for an epoch, that stake earns no rewards for that epoch.
Unlike SOL, FOGO has no separate MEV (Jito) reward type — all rewards auto-compound into your active stake.

​
How to unstake

Unstaking requires you to initiate two operations: 1) unstake and 2) collect.
Unstaking a position splits its stake account, so both the amount you unstake and the amount left staked must each stay at or above the network minimum (about 100 FOGO). If a position holds less than roughly twice the minimum, you’ll be asked to unstake the full position rather than a partial amount.

​
Step 1: Unstake

1

Navigate to staking details

Go to the wallet screen and tap View details.
2

Initiate unstake

Select the staking position from which you would like to unstake. Tap the [ ··· ] button on the staking position card, then tap Unstake.
3

Enter amount

Enter the amount you wish to unstake from this staking position, then tap Next.
4

Review and approve

Tap Review after adding a comment (optional) to review and approve the operation. Once the operation’s quorum policy is met, the operation is signed and broadcast on-chain.
You will need to wait until the current Fogo epoch ends before your FOGO is available to collect. During this time the position shows Unstaking in progress (Balances view: Staked (Deactivating)), then Inactive stake once complete.

​
Step 2: Collect

1

Navigate to staking details

Go to the wallet screen and tap View details.
2

Collect inactive stake

Select the staking position from which you would like to collect. Tap the [ ··· ] button on the staking position card, then tap Collect.
3

Enter amount and approve

Enter the amount you wish to collect and tap Next. Tap Review after adding a comment (optional) to review and approve the operation. Once the operation’s quorum policy is met, the operation is signed and broadcast on-chain. The FOGO returns to your wallet as Available.

Notes

  • Do I need to claim rewards? No — rewards auto-compound into your active stake every epoch. There’s no claim button and no separate claimable balance.
  • Can I partially unstake? Yes, within limits. Unstaking a position splits its stake account, and both the amount you unstake and the amount left staked must each stay at or above the network minimum (about 100 FOGO). In practice, a position must hold at least roughly twice the minimum to be partially unstaked; a smaller position must be unstaked in full.
  • Can I add to an existing stake? No. Each stake creates a separate position, even to the same validator — a stake account’s delegation can’t be topped up. To increase your staked amount, create a new stake; the positions are managed separately.
  • Is liquid staking (LSTs) supported? No — FOGO is native staking only.
