## Staking Mechanics

| Metric                                                       | Value                                                                                    |

| **Epoch Length**                                             | 50,000 blocks (\~5.5 hours)                                                              |
| **Stake activation time**                                    | 1-11 hours (start of next epoch or the following)                                        |
| **Withdrawal Delay**                                         | \~5.5 hours (1 epoch)                                                                    |
| **Re-delegating activation time**                            | \~11 hours (2 epochs)                                                                    |

| **Auto-compounding**                                         | No                                                                                       |
| **Active set**                                               | 200 validators                                                                           |

| **Minimum Validator Stake**                                  | 10,000,000 MON to be eligible for active set                                             |
| **Slashing**                                                 | None currently implemented                                                               |
| **Relationship between validator stake balance and rewards** | Linear. The more stake balance there is on the validator, the more rewards it will earn. |
