How to see my staking reward payments & how my rewards are paid?

You can check your Solana staking rewards in the Phantom app.

Step 1. Click on the "Solana" token on the assets tab, and then select "Your Stake"

Step 2. Click on your Stake Account.

Step 3. Check the "Last Reward" section.

The rewards can not be withdrawn unless you unstake your SOL. Instead, the rewards are added to your stake (compounding), and you earn more SOL.
