How can I safely transfer my staked Solana to a Tangem hardware wallet?

Question

I currently have Solana staked using Solflare and have just acquired a Tangem hardware wallet. Is there a way to migrate my staked funds directly, or must I unstake them before transferring and then restake? I’m looking for an approach that maintains staking rewards while ensuring enhanced security.

hey guys, i’ve been diggin into this topic a bit and it seems like, from what i’ve seen, you cant really directly transfer staked solana into a tangem wallet while keeping the stake in tact. it looks like youll have to unstake your funds first, move them over, and then restake through a new process or directly on your tangem wallet if they support that. has anyone tried a setup like this? i’m curious about the downtime for earning rewards during this swap and how secure the unstaking/restaking process is from potential network delays or fee increases. let’s discuss if there’s a way round that wait time or if others have found a work around that keeps things almost continuous. what are your experiences? keep me posted!

hey, im leaning that unstaking is the way to go - no direct transfer atm. i havent had success with a native method on tangem. also, keep an eye out on updates, they might introduce direct staking in future. just plan for minor fee and downtime hiccups.

Based on my own recent experience, there isn’t a direct method to transfer your staked Solana to a Tangem wallet without unstaking first. I had to unstake my tokens, wait for the unbonding period, and then transfer the funds to my Tangem wallet before re-establishing my staking position. Although this approach momentarily halts the accrual of rewards, it’s necessary because staking details are wallet-specific. In my case, planning the timing around network fee fluctuations was key to avoiding additional costs during the process.

hey everyone, i was just mullin over the whole unstaking process and wondering if theres a vibe that maybe we could eventually see a bridge that actually lets you hand over your stake directly? i mean, right now it seems like you gotta take that little break in rewards while switching things around. im curious if anyone has heard about any upcoming features in either the tangem firmware or solflare that could smoothen this process so that you can maintain your accruing rewards without that downtime. also, what has been your experirnce with handling the unstaking fees and potential delays? i chose tangem for its enhanced security but the extra steps kinda offset that advantage sometimes. what do you all think, or has anyone found a creative workaround that keeps things almost continuous? looking forward to more insights!
