Faroo’s Native Stake page delegates PROS straight to a Pharos validator, without minting stPROS. Press Connect Wallet.
Check that the address bar reads app.faroo.xyz. A lookalike site can copy the page.
Faroo asks for a wallet. Choose MetaMask from the list.
MetaMask opens. Type your password and press Unlock.
MetaMask unlocks with your password only. Anything that asks for your recovery phrase here is not MetaMask.
MetaMask shows app.faroo.xyz and the account it will connect: pick the one that holds your PROS. The site can see your addresses and balances and send you transaction requests; it cannot move funds without your permission. Press Connect.
The site named at the top is app.faroo.xyz.
Back on Faroo, the top bar shows Wrong Network: MetaMask is on another chain. Under Your position, press Switch to Pharos Mainnet.
If MetaMask is already on Pharos, Faroo shows no Wrong Network: go straight on to step 7.
MetaMask asks to add the Pharos network, at app.faroo.xyz’s request. Press Confirm.
Request from should read app.faroo.xyz, and RPC rpc.pharos.xyz, Pharos’s own. A network added with another RPC can show you balances that are not real.
Back on Faroo, scroll down to Validators and type encapsulate in the search. Our row shows Open and our 10% commission. Press Stake.
A name can be copied. Our pool ID finds only us: 0x6d565aee07f2d2e8da0fe77e5a62352e9d5fbb4007c4929c64c0268835a1f926
The Delegate window opens on Encapsulate. Type how much PROS to stake: the minimum is 1, and your balance shows above the box. Activation epoch says when it starts earning, at the next epoch. Press Confirm.
Undelegated PROS can be claimed 14 days later. Leave a little PROS for the gas fee.
MetaMask shows the transaction request: the PROS you are staking, the request from app.faroo.xyz on Pharos Mainnet and the network fee. Press Confirm.
Interacting with should read 0x41000…00000, Pharos’s staking contract. Check the amount: this is the last screen where a mistake is still free.
Back on Faroo, Your position shows your PROS under Pending activation. It joins our stake at the next epoch, within four hours.
Faroo’s note below says its reward payouts and compounding are still awaiting verification.
Once the epoch turns, your PROS moves to Active stake. Rewards come every epoch, about four hours, and show under Claimable reward.
Rewards do not compound by themselves: claim them, or compound them into your stake.
