# Staking Overview

> Stake \$SGL to secure the network — run compute nodes, validate the marketplace, or earn yield. Live on Solana mainnet.

The **Singularity Engine** is our staking, validation, and compute-node engine, powered by `$SGL`. It puts skin-in-the-game behind the Singularity network: staking is what lets you **run a compute node**, **validate the marketplace**, or simply **earn yield** — and every staker earns a share of network revenue.

* **Live on Solana mainnet** — program `3zChiHHFxbT3qQJBrwyQgTohfX8jS91bUGT8gpyB7aBC`
* **Token** — `$SGL` mint `5c4HyD2rSShqnTsf5z3SaoD2H3GE452u2CUuYjviBAGS` (9 decimals)
* **Rewards** — paid in **USDC + \$SGL** (stakers earn 10% of network revenue)
* **Minimum** — 50,000 \$SGL per position
