Assumed APR (Annual Percentage Rate)
Please note that this is the assumption. The exact APR you can check on our dashboard
depends on network conditions, the validator commission, and the transaction fee
The calculation mechanism you can find in our FAQ
What is staking?
Staking is the act of locking up a cryptocurrency to receive rewards. It helps verify network transactions and secure the operations of a blockchain network using the Proof of Stake consensus mechanism.
How to benefit from staking
The network’s health depends on your help as a Validator or delegator. You help us identify dangerous or harmful behaviors early.
The network is rewarding for securing the network in the following way:
Earn staking rewards based on a varible Annual Percentage Rate (APR).
Receive a proportionate share of the netwqrk's transaction revenue.
Validators earn a commision on the stake delegated through them.
Vote on active governance proposals and shape the network.
How to benefit from staking
There are three sources of rewards:
1. Rewards come from our network’s emission schedule, which follows an inflation scheme similar to Bitcoin – we have halving every four years.
Staking reward and Ecosystem Incentive
Seventy percent (70%) of the inflation is distributed as a staking reward, while the remaining portion is earmarked as an ecosystem incentive.
2. Rewards are also allocated to stakers for each block containing transactions, this transaction fee is paid by the users of the network as a ‘gas fee’. As we roll out our products there will be more utilization of the chain and hence more rewards available to validators and delegators.
3. Last but not least source is the percentage of the product subscription fee. Customers using products are paying a subscription fee which partially is distributed to the ecosystem. For more details see Token Flow.
How to benefit from staking
When a validator goes offline for an extended period of time or behaves in an abnormal way, it is punished for that behavior with a percentage of its tokens being forfeited, including the tokens of all its delegates. This is a protocol-level feature needed to ensure the security and health of the network.
When choosing a validator to delegate your stake to, you can filter by the condition of the server’s uptime and reliability, and the percentage of commission. We encourage delegators to do their own research before selecting a node to delegate stake to; to mitigate the risk you can delegate your stake to multiple validators.
