Staking Workflow
What is the staking process?
In order to stake AVAX you need to initiate a validator staking transaction that will lock the funds for the selected time and act as self-bond. In order to initiate this transaction you need to enter a Node-ID which will be provided by Kiln.
Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet?
You can add additional delegations abiding the following:
Available Delegator Capacity (max = 4x the validator stake, effective 5x total)
minimum 2 week that must end on or before validator stake ends
Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake?
The minimum is 2000 AVAX.
Can I unstake part of the staked balance?
You have to wait until the staking period ends. This period is defined by you when the staking starts and has a minimum of 2 weeks.
When can I withdraw my staked AVAX?
Once the relevant staking cycle ends. For example you initiated a validation stake for 4 weeks and an additional delegation for 2 weeks. You can withdraw your validation stake after 4 weeks and the delegation after 2 weeks.
When can I withdraw my rewards on staked AVAX?
Same above, once the relevant staking cycle ends, rewards will be available.
