# Moonbeam (GLMR) Staking

{% hint style="info" %}
Nova Wallet is a non-custodial wallet where you alone remain in control of your assets via your private key/seed phrase. Nova Wallet directly connects you to the Moonbeam protocol to stake directly. Nova Wallet does not provide you with any staking services such as how a CEX may do.
