Staking mechanics
Stake activation time
Instant
Stake lock-up time 
3~4 days (80 checkpoints)
Re-delegating activation time
Instant
Rewards frequency
First rewards: next checkpoint once stake is active (0-30minutes/3hours).

Rewards frequency: every checkpoint submitted (30 minutes - 3 hours).

Last rewards: last rewards earned before unstaking.
Auto-compounding
No
Self-bond
None
Active set
Yes (100 validators, list here)
Slashing
Yes, delegators' bonded tokens can be slashed.
Relationship between validator stake balance and rewards
Linear. The more stake balance there is on the validator, the more rewards it will earn.
Staking workflow
What is the staking process?
When staking through Kiln Dashboard, you'll first approve the Polygon StakingManager Contract to spend X MATIC, then delegate to send MATIC to the official Polygon Staking Contract.
Do funds move out to another wallet?
Yes, they are sent to the official Polygon Staking Contract.
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.
Can I unstake part of the staked balance?
Yes, you can select the amount of tokens you want to unstake.
How is my balance computed at checkpoint N for the rewards distribution?
The balance computed at checkpoint N for the rewards distribution is the balance at the submission of the checkpoint N.
