Learn how to direct stake to your favorite validator.
Visit our website at https://thevault.finance/
Click the "Open dapp" button in the top-right corner.
Once on the dApp page ensure you connect your wallet in the top-right corner.
When your wallet is connected, visit the Direct Stake navigation button in the top navigation bar.
On the Direct Stake page you can select the validator you wish to direct your stake to from the list. Once selected, click the button "Select a validator."
After processing the wallet transaction you should see the name of the validator you are direct staking to. It will be under "Your Validator" near the top of the page.
The next step will be to go to the Stake navigation button in the top navigation bar.
Once the Stake page loads, you will see the amount of SOL in your wallet. You may choose how much SOL you wish to stake. The vSOL token amount will be less than the SOL you use to stake it with. This is because vSOL represents the actual SOL value with the accumulated interest from staking rewards and commissions from validators that you stake to.
Now that vSOL has been minted from SOL the vSOL inside of the wallet will now be directed at the chosen validator that you have assigned on the Direct Stake navigation button. You can see the results on the Direct Stake dashboard page.
