Injective (INJ)
Validators
Overview
Stake activation time
1 minute — delegation starts earning in the next reward cycle.
Auto-compounding
Yes
Unbonding time
7 days for unstaking/withdrawal from the staking account
Re-delegating activation time
Yes, redelegation is possible; delegators can change validators. I would treat the exact transition timing as ~1 minute / epoch
Rewards frequency
Every Epoch - 1 minute
Minimum Stake
10,000 HYPE self-stake for the validator
Active set
Yes - 25
Slashing
No automatic protocol slashing currently. Validators can, however, face operational consequences such as being unable to participate effectively if they have downtime/latency issues
Staking Workflow
How does staking work?
On Cosmos chains such as Injective, token holders choose a validator to delegate a select amount of tokens to. The delegator initiates a delegation transaction, which involves locking their tokens in a smart contract. These tokens are then counted towards the validator's total stake.
What is the staking process?
After the delegation has been initiated, INJs are changed to validator shares of the validator you delegate to.
Do funds move out to another wallet?
Staked INJs are not part of the balance anymore, but they don’t go to another address.
Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet?
Yes, you can increase the staked amount or unstake part of it at anytime.
Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake?
Yes, you select the amount of tokens you want to stake to earn rewards.
How do I unstake?
You can unstake by unbonding your funds. After you initiated the process:
• You stop receiving staking rewards
• It will take 21 days for the amount to be liquid
• But you will be able to cancel the unbonding process anytime, as this chain currently supports the function
Can I unstake part of the staked balance?
Yes, you can select the amount of tokens you want to unstake (this takes 21 days).
How is my balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution?
The balance computed at block N for the rewards distribution is the balance at block N.
How is commission paid?
Comissions are paid to the validator at the same frequency than the reward distribution (every block).
