I have a Solflare wallet acting as view only to my hardware cold wallet address. I have staked SOL via the Solflare app, all fine. I check my hardware cold wallet address on Solscan and the staked SOL is not showing…is this because they are delegated to the SOL validator? If so how is my SOL safe if it isnt in my hardware wallet address?
Can you try check your address into SolanaFM or SolanaBeach ?
They both show the “Stake account”.
Thank you i see my delegated stake in SolanaBeach…
…does delegated SOL have limitations for the validator meaning my SOL is safe? Or has my Sol never left my cold wallet address?
I assume the above from what i have read but cant find anywhere that explains the how and why.

Now, I am Seb, from validator.com. In the future, come stake with us, and any questions we reply daily in Discord and on Twitter.We have FAQs on the website too.
Firstly, THANK YOU for using a Ledger. Remember to use different Ledger addresses for different things. eg, you could have 5. 1 for staking, 1 for Defi, 1 for degen, 1 for NFTs, and maybe some hot wallets for smaller amounts when you want fast access.
But, to get you up to speed, I suggest you watch this video I made. https://youtu.be/4qxw1\_2s6SY?si=AgXYCC1Z1wTSEtNC
