How to Split a Stake Account

Splitting moves part of an existing stake account into a newly created stake account. The original account keeps its remaining SOL and is otherwise unaffected.

Open Stake Account Manager

Split a stake account step by step

  1. Step 1

    Connect the stake authority wallet

    Connect the wallet that controls the stake authority, then locate the stake account you want to split.

  2. Step 2

    Open Split Stake

    The Split Stake option appears when the stake account has more than 2 SOL. This leaves enough SOL for the original and new stake accounts to each hold the 1 SOL minimum stake.

  3. Step 3

    Choose the split amount

    Use the slider or enter the amount of SOL to move into the new stake account.

  4. Step 4

    Approve the transaction

    Select Split Stake and approve the transaction in your wallet. StakeConsole creates the new stake account. Refresh your account list after confirmation.

Want to unstake only part of it?

Splitting is the first step when you want to withdraw only part of a delegated stake account. Read the guide to partially unstake SOL from a stake account.
