Relationship between validator stake balance and rewards
Linear. The more stake balance there is on the validator, the more rewards it will earn.
How does staking works?
Aptos uses an owner-operator-voter model for staking. This model enables the creation of delegations and staking services by separating the account that holds the funds from other accounts responsible for managing those funds, such as operators and voters. This separation ensures that delegations of responsibilities can be made securely, without compromising the safety of the funds held in the account.
Owner: When someone creates an account on the Aptos blockchain, they become the owner of that account and the funds it contains.
Operator: An operator is the validator operator. The Owner can delegate the management of their funds to the Operator. The Owner can assign the accounts operator address to the Operator allowing for the account to participate in transaction validation on the chain.
Voter: The Owner can designate a Voter to participate in governance. The voter will use the voter keys to sign the governance votes. Traditionally, voter privileges are assigned to the Operator.
What is the staking process?
To start earning rewards, you will need to add your stake to the delegation pool
Do funds move out to another wallet?
Tokens do move out of your account but your accounts remains the only one that can operate an unstaking function. This enables you too keep the custody of your funds while they earn rewards.
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 unlock stake at any time. However, the stake will only become withdrawable after the delegation pool's lockup period expires (0-30 days). Unlocked stake will continue earning rewards until the stake becomes withdrawable.
Can I unstake part of the staked balance?
Yes, you can select the amount of tokens you want to unstake. The minimum amount to unstake is 10 APT.
How is my balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution?
The balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution is the balance at the beginning of epoch N-1.
What is the slashing risk on Aptos?
Currently, slashing is not implemented on Aptos.
How is commission paid?
Staking rewards are auto-compounded. The commission is paid when delegators unstake their positions.
How can I get testnet tokens?
You can request some here.
Kiln provides public / shared validators you can delegate to and can also deploy dedicated white-labelled validators on demand.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Out of all the hardware wallets, only Keystone is currently supported.
Do NOT use a Ledger device. These devices do not yet have the ability to craft the redeem transaction once the timelock ends.
Do NOT use a wallet that holds any Bitcoin Inscriptions.
Choose either Native Segwit or Taproot format.
Navigate to the Kiln’s BTC Staking Interface. The direct link will be:
Connect your wallet. If you’re visiting the website for the first time, you will need to sign the signature request to get your wallet connected.
Input the amount of BTC you want to stake. During Babylon Phase 1, you have the option to stake between 0.005 and 0.05 BTC per transaction.
Select or switch the address format in your wallet.
Next you can choose to keep the current network fee or prioritize your delegation by increasing the transaction fee. Reminder: The cap for phase 1 will fill very quickly (around 20 - 40 mins). The higher you set your fee, the higher the likelihood your BTC will be staked to the next block, before the cap is filled.
If your stake arrives after the cap is filled, then it will be in the “overflow” status and you will need to unbond and withdraw your BTC.
Finalize the staking process by clicking “Stake” and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
For the Phase 1 mainnet, the Stake App will only support BTC staking via . Install the OKX wallet browser extension and deposit your BTC before proceeding to the next step.
Congratulations you have successfully staked your BTC to Babylon via Kiln’s Finality Provider. You can now track your staked position via the .

Staking ADA effectively requires strategic planning to maximize rewards:
Avoid Oversaturation: To maintain optimal performance, keep your stake below the current pool saturation threshold (approximately 70 million ADA). This threshold may adjust based on the number of active pools in the network.
Managing Large Stakes: For amounts exceeding the saturation level, consider splitting your delegation across multiple pools. Cardano staking mechanics stake the entire ADA balance in a wallet, so distributing funds across multiple wallets may be necessary to manage larger stakes effectively.
Epoch Activation: Stakes activate at the end of the second (n+2) epoch. Consult the epoch calendar to plan your staking timing.
Support Available: If you need guidance on any aspect of the staking process or selecting an optimal pool, feel free to reach out to our support team.

In order to stake BTC on Babylon you need to initiate a staking transaction on the Bitcoin blockchain. The components of these transactions are: 1. The Finality Provider information: You will specify which Finality Provider (Validator) you are delegation your staked assets to. 2. A Timelock Transaction: You lock your coins for a specific amount of time. After that amount of time has passed, the coins can be instantly redeemed. 3. Slashing transaction: You pre-sign a transaction that will slash some of your staked coins if an only if your Finality Provider double-signs when securing consumer chains. Please see the wallet integration guide .

Slashing
Yes, the specifics about slashing are discussed here, focusing on enforcing penalties on validators who attest to or produce invalid blocks. The data availability sampling is used as a mechanism of the light clients to enforce the slashing of the committee of the validators.
How does staking works?
On Cosmos Chains such as Celestia, 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, TIAs are changed to validator shares of the validator you delegate to.
Do funds move out to another wallet?
Staked TIAs 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 does auto-compounding work?
In the Cosmos Ecosystem, auto-compounding is possible through a module called Authz, that allows granting arbitrary privileges from one account (the granter) to another account (the grantee). Through Authz, delegators could grant Kiln's wallet to claim rewards and stake them back to the Kiln Validator. This grant can be revoked at any time.
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.
What is the slashing risk on Celestia?
Downtime: During a block window (5,OOO blocks) if a validator signed less than 75% of the blocks, he will get jailed for 1 min but will not incur a slashing penalty. No rewards can be earned during that jail time. Double signing: When a validator attests to two different blocks, it will face slashing. Stakers who have delegated to the slashed validator will incur a slashing penalty of 2% and the validator won't ever be able to earn rewards again. Delegators will have to redelegate to another validator in order for their stake to earn rewards again.
How is commission paid?
Commissions are paid to the validator at the same frequency than the reward distribution (every block).

Relationship between validator stake balance and rewards
Almost linear. The more stake balance there is on the validator, the more rewards it will earn.
Note that:
more a validator pldege, more rewards are received.
there is a saturation of 70M ADA. Above this amount of delegated tokens on the same validator, rewards are capped (not able to grow further).
What is the staking process?
The ADA wallet is delegated to a pool id and all the tokens contained inside this wallet are staked on the pool. The rewards go to the stake address of your wallet and must be withdrawn to receive them on your wallet.
Do funds move out to another wallet?
No, ADAs never leave your wallet.
Basically you keep the assets on your ada wallet and receive rewards on the stake address of your wallet.
Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet?
Yes, by transferring in and out tokens, you need to withdraw available rewards.
Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake?
All the ADA inside a delegated wallet are staked. All tokens in a delegated wallet are taken into account in the staked amount.
Can I unstake part of the staked balance?
No, if you unstake it's the whole wallet. But you can transfer out of your wallet any amount of ADA to unstake a part of it.
How is my balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution?
The balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution is the balance at the beginning of epoch N-2.
Is there a minimum stake amount needed?
Please ensure to stake at least 4 ADA. When you first stake, 2 ADA will be held as a deposit (which is refundable when you deregister), and there will be a small transaction fee, usually between 0.17 and 0.3 ADA.
As a result, if you start staking 4 ADA, only around 1.7 ADA will actually be used for staking.

What is the staking process?
CORE staking is comparable to other dPOS chains. Once the delegation happens, CORE tokens will be attributed to a chosen operator. Core DAO’s methodology for integrating bitcoin staking centers on CLTV timelock. Basically, when users stake their BTC, they send a transaction to themselves, with a native timelock enforced on the output. Users can redeem the BTC after the timelock has ended (see image above).
You can find more details about Bitcoin Native Staking here.

What is the staking process? | In order to stake FLARE you need to initiate a staking transaction that will lock the funds for the selected time. In order to initiate this transaction you'll need to enter the Node-ID provided by Kiln |
Do funds move out to another wallet? | No, the funds are locked in the staking process but do not move to another wallet. |
Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet? | Yes you can add additional stake up to 5 times the initial staked amount as delegation to the same node. To unstake, you have to wait until your delegation cycle ends |
Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake? | Yes, the minimum is 50,000 FLR |
How do I unstake? | You have to wait till the staking period ends. This period is defined by you when the staking starts and has a minimum of 2 weeks. |
Can I unstake part of the staked balance? | You have to wait till the staking period ends. This period is defined by you when the staking starts and has a minimum of 2 weeks. |
How is my balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution? | Rewards are distributed based on the amount staked at the last block. |
What is the slashing risk on the P-chain? | There is no slashing on the P-Chain. |
How is commission paid? | Once the staking cycle ends |

How does staking works? | 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. |

How does staking works? | In the FTSO, staking involves delegating your tokens to data providers (signal providers). These providers submit data to the oracle, like cryptocurrency prices. Your stake contributes to the weight of their vote. |
What is the staking process? | You choose a signal provider and delegate your tokens to them. This is done through the Flare interface or a compatible wallet. There's no need to transfer tokens; it's more like setting a preference. |
Do funds move out to another wallet? | The funds technically leave your wallet to a smart contract that can only withdraw to your address. |
Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet? | Yes, you can continually stake and unstake to the same wallet. |
Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake? | Yes, you have control over how much of your balance you want to delegate to a signal provider |
How do I unstake? | Unstaking usually involves removing the delegation from the signal provider. This can be done through the wallet or platform interface where you staked. This process takes O to 3.5 days. |
Can I unstake part of the staked balance? | Yes, you can choose to unstake a portion of your delegated tokens. |
How is my balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution? | Your reward is typically calculated based on the amount of your stake and the performance of your chosen signal provider at the beginning of the epoch. |
What is the slashing risk on the FTSO chain? | Only the signal provider's tokens are subject to slashing. |
How is commission paid? | Commissions are paid as rewards are earned. |

Can I unstake part of the staked balance? | Yes, you can select the number of validators (multiple of 32 ETH) you want to unstake. |
Who can withdraw the staked ETH? | Only the wallet you use to issue your deposit can be used to withdraw your stake, and accrued rewards. Kiln or any other party cannot do that. This means you must ensure you retain control of the wallet you use to deposit your stake. |
When can I withdraw my staked ETH? | You can withdraw your staked ETH anytime you want. Be aware that the duration of this action varies according to the network's exit queue. |
When can I withdraw my rewards on staked ETH? | Both consensus and execution rewards are automatically distributed to your withdrawal wallet. |
What are the risks associated with staking? | When you stake with this service, Kiln will operate validator(s) on your behalf. If these validators are incorrectly operated, it is possible for a portion of the funds you have staked to be slashed, meaning they are destroyed by the protocol. This is very rare in general and has never happened in Kiln’s history of operating Ethereum validators, our infrastructure is purpose-built to reduce this risk. You should however be aware that the risk is not 0. For more details and Kiln’s coverage please read our T&Cs or the Order Form you have signed with Kiln. |

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.
What is the slashing risk on Osmosis?
Downtime: During a block window (30,OOO blocks) if a validator signed less than 5% of the blocks, he will get jailed for 1 min but will not incur a slashing penalty. No rewards can be earned during that jail time. Double signing: When a validator attests to two different blocks, it will face slashing. Stakers who have delegated to the slashed validator will incur a slashing penalty of 5% and the validator won't ever be able to earn rewards again. Delegators will have to redelegate to another validator in order for their stake to earn rewards again.
How is commission paid?
Commissions are paid to the validator at the same frequency than the reward distribution (every block).

Staking is not yet available in the Kiln Dashboard, only delegating is.
You way see the Delegating/Staking APR fluctuate over time when monitoring your positions or looking on an explorer.
This is due to the Adaptive Issuance mechanism that lets the network automatically find the “Goldilocks” level for staking rewards – just enough for a desired level of economic security, but not higher than that, so as to minimize dilution.
The rate adjusts based on the share of tez (out of the total supply) that is staked, with a target of about 50%. If the staked share goes below 48%, rewards increase to incentivize more funds being staked. If it goes above 52%, rewards are reduced to avoid issuing more tez than is required for network security.
Those looking to explore the mechanism further can check out our Adaptive Issuance Simulator, which lets you test various scenarios to see the rewards rate as well as estimated rewards for a given baker.

Kiln's validator's performance is visible on the official Polygon staking website. The methodology used for ther Performance Index is described here.
What is changing?
Polygon is undergoing a 1:1 technical upgrade from MATIC to POL, affecting MATIC holders and stakers.
POL will be the new gas and staking token on Polygon PoS and Ethereum networks.
Staking will continue only on the Ethereum chain. The stake manager contract will be upgraded without address changes, simply introducing new functions to operate with POL.
What action should I take?
If you hold MATIC on Polygon PoS:
No immediate action is needed. Your MATIC will automatically upgrade to POL, though it may still show as "MATIC" in your wallet if the RPC settings are not updated.
If you want, you can manually update your wallet's display to show POL.
If you hold MATIC on Ethereum or CEXes:
You need to upgrade your MATIC to POL. You can use the Polygon Portal for this: POL Upgrade Portal.
Avoid sending funds directly to the migration contract to prevent loss of funds.
Advanced users can use a deployed contract to upgrade MATIC to POL permissionlessly, but caution is advised.
If you are staking MATIC on Ethereum:
The conversion to POL is automatic. No action is needed unless you wish to prevent this change, in which case you must unstake your MATIC before September 1st.
Note that unstaking takes 48 hours, so plan accordingly.
If you hold POL on Ethereum:
You can stake POL from Kiln Dashboard.
What is coming up later?
There is no deadline for users to upgrade. All MATIC on Polygon PoS & staked MATIC on Ethereum will upgrade automatically on Sept 4 2024.
POL may have additional utility in the future on the Polygon POS chain. If you would like to stake POL, you need to bridge it from Polygon PoS to Ethereum mainnet.
Currently all our public validators are set at 100% commission for our B2B customers. If you delegate to them without an agreement with Kiln, you will not earn any rewards. This also applies to our nomination pool, as it exclusively nominates our validators.

NEAR is a PoS network, however delegation is not implemented at the protocol. Instead, validators (such as Kiln’s) deploy a standardised smart contract to which delegations are sent. From a user perspective, similarly to dPOS protocols the act of delegation just involves sending one transaction, which you can do on this page using the widget on the right. is an example of such a transaction, delegating 5 NEAR to the Kiln validator on testnet.

How does staking works?
On Cosmos Chains such as Sei, 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, SEIs are changed to validator shares of the validator you delegate to.
Do funds move out to another wallet?
Staked SEIs 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

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.
What is the slashing risk on Sei?
Downtime: During a block window (108,000 blocks) if a validator signed less than 5% of the blocks, he will get jailed for 10 min but will not be slashed. No rewards can be earned during that jail time. Double signing: When a validator attests to two different blocks, it will face slashing. Stakers who have delegated to the slashed validator will not incur a reduction in their stake but the validator won't ever be able to earn rewards again. Delegators will have to redelegate to another validator in order for their stake to earn rewards again..
How is commission paid?
Commissions are paid to the validator at the same frequency than the reward distribution (every block).

First rewards: 1 cycle after stake is active (~11days + ~2.83 days). Note: for many other validators (not Kiln's one), the first rewards would be received 6 cycles after stake is active (~37 days) because they froze rewards during 5 cycles. Rewards frequency: at the end of every cycle (~2.83 days). Last rewards: 4 cycles after the end of the unstaking cycles (~11 days)
First rewards: Immediate at the end of the current cycle (0-2.83 days)
Rewards frequency: at the end of every cycle (~2.83 days)
Last rewards: Rewards stop immediately after unstaking.
Auto-compounding
Yes
Yes
Self-bond
The total staked amount must be 10% of the total Balance (total delegated + total staked) Ex: 5M XTZ of total staked amount can allow a Balance of up to 50M XTZ, which means delegators can delegate up to 45M XTZ (50-5).
The Baker must self-stake 25% of the total staked amount. Ex: If a Baker self-stakes 1M XTZ, then its stakers can contribute to the staked amount up to 4M XTZ. This means that the total stake amount is 5M XTZ.

None
Slashing
No, as a delegator, the only risk is not earning the potential rewards. In the case of slashing, only the staked amount is slashed.
Yes, if the Baker double bakes, Stakers could lose up to 10% of their stake. In the context a double endorse, it's 50%. It's worth noting that such events are extremely rare on Tezos.
Relationship between validator stake balance and rewards
Linear. The more stake balance there is on the baker, the more rewards it will earn.

What is the staking process?
When staking through Kiln Dashboard, you'll first approve the Polygon StakingManager Contract to spend X POL, then delegate to send POL 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.

Minimum requirement | The protocol minimum currently sits at 354k TON. However as there are some voting fees and running a validator is expensive at Kiln we recommend a minimum of 700k TON per single nominator contract |
Maximal optimal stake per pool | The optimal stake per pool is correlated to how the elector smart contract selects the validators and their effective stake. It currently works the following way:
|
Active set | Yes (400 validators) |
Slashing | Yes, if validator is idle or behaves maliciously can get slashed. |
Relationship between validator stake balance and rewards | Linear. The more stake balance there is on the validator, the more rewards it will earn, until 1M TON threshold where there are no additional rewards for additional TON. A new single nominator contract has to be deployed in this case. |
What is the staking process? | After the single nominator contract has been deployed the user can send funds to the contract |
Do funds move out to another wallet? | Funds move to the single nominator contract which the user owns and can withdraw at any time. |
Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet? | Yes |
Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake? | Yes |
How does auto-compounding work? | After every epoch the additional TON earned is used to generate additional rewards |
How do I unstake? | You can unstake by withdrawing from the single nominator contract when the funds are not being used to validate |
Can I unstake part of the staked balance? | Yes, you can select the amount of tokens you want to unstake |
What is the slashing risk? | Downtime: During an epoch if a validator signed less than a certain threshold of the blocks, he will get slashed for 101 TON Double signing: Validator won't be able to validate for the epoch so it will get the downtime slashing |
How is commission paid? | Commissions are invoiced to the customer as there is no commission dispatching on chain for the single nominator contract |
Is the single nominator smart contract custodial? | No, this staking is 100% non custodial as the user holds the private key of the wallet that can withdraw from the single nominator contract. The validator can only "Borrow" the TON in order to valdiate and gives it back at the end of the epoch. At a protocol level there's no way a validator can use the funds for any other task |
What is the staking process?
The Tezos wallet is delegated to a baker and all the tokens contained inside this wallet are on that baker. The rewards go directly in the wallet.
The Tezos wallet is locked in the protocol, and your XTZ tokens are actively participating in consensus. The rewards will be paid directly to your wallet, and they come from protocol-level incentives.
Do funds move out to another wallet?
No, XTZs do not move anywhere, they never leave your wallet.
No, XTZs do not move anywhere, they never leave your wallet.
Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet?
Yes, for both staking and delegating, you can add and remove tokens by transferring in or out of your wallet.

Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake?
All the XTZs inside a delegated wallet are staked/delegated. All tokens in a staked/delegated wallet are taken into account in the staked/delegated amount.
All the XTZs inside a delegated wallet are staked/delegated. All tokens in a staked/delegated wallet are taken into account in the staked/delegated amount.
How do I undelegate/unstake?
When stopping delegation to our baker, you will still receive staking rewards from the last 11 days. Your XTZ tokens will be transferable and can be re-delegated when the unstaking transaction is confirmed. Undelegating is not implemented in this dashboard, however you can unstake from your wallet:
In your Tezos Account in Ledger Live, click on the 3-dots menu on the right, then “End delegation”:
You can only delegate to another baker from Templewallet. To do so, go to your Tezos subsection, then in the “Delegate” tab, click on “Re-Delegate”:
When unstaking to our baker, you will stop receiving rewards immediately. Your XTZ tokens will be transferable 4 cycles later (~11 days). Unstaking is not implemented in this dashboard, however you can unstake from your wallet. Removing stake is done with the ‘unstake’ command in Octez, or via your wallet’s user interface.
Can I unstake/undelegate part of the staked balance?
No, if you unstake/undelegate, it's for the whole wallet. However, you can transfer out of your wallet any amount of XTZ to unstake a part of it.
Yes, you can unstake part or all of your staked funds.
How is my balance computed at cycle N for the rewards distribution?
The balance computed at cycle N for the rewards distribution is the balance at the beginning of cycle N-4.
The balance computed at cycle N for the rewards distribution is the balance at the beginning of cycle N.
How is commission paid?
We use the TRD software to distribute Tezos baking rewards. Rewards are redistributed every on-chain cycle (~2.8 days) to the same XTZ address you are delegating with.
Rewards are paid and commissions are taken natively at the protocol level. Rewards are redistributed every on-chain cycle (~2.8 days) to the same XTZ address you are staking with.
How do I monitor my rewards?
You can monitor your rewards by going to the Tezos explorer page of your Delegating Account address or directly from your wallet.

How does staking works? | On Cosmos Chains such as Zetachain, 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, ZETAs are changed to validator shares of the validator you delegate to. |
Do funds move out to another wallet? | Staked ZETAs 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. |
What is the slashing risk on Zetachain? | Downtime: During a block window (5,000 blocks) if a validator signed less than 50% of the blocks, he will get jailed for 10 min and will incur a 0.1% slashing penalty. No rewards can be earned during that jail time.. Double signing: When a validator attests to two different blocks, it will face slashing. Stakers who have delegated to the slashed validator will incur a slashing penalty of 5% and the validator won't ever be able to earn rewards again. Delegators will have to redelegate to another validator in order for their stake to earn rewards again.. |
How is commission paid? | Commissions are paid to the validator at the same frequency than the reward distribution (every block). |

Relationship between validator stake balance and rewards | Validators earn the exact same amount of rewards, that is distributed to their top 512 nominators proportionally to their bonded tokens. |
What is the staking process? | The staking process depends on wether you join a nomination pool or if you nominate your validators directly. If you choose to join a nomination pool, you need to choose the amount to bond (ie stake) when joining the pool. Then the pool will nominate validators on your behalf and you will be able to claim available rewards or bond them every era. If you choose to nominate your validators directly, you will need to bond your token and then nominate and monitor your validators |
Do funds move out to another wallet? | No, the bonded funds stay in your stash account wallet. |
Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet? | Yes, you can bond extra tokens to the same wallet and unbound / withdraw several times. |
Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake? | Yes, you select the amount of tokens you want to bond in a stash account. |
Can I unstake part of the staked balance? | Yes, to do so you can select the amount of tokens you want to unbond (this takes 28 days), and then withdraw it (instant). |

SUI wallet with SUI tokens (testnet/mainnet).
Basic knowledge of TypeScript and web3.
The Sui blockchain has built-in functions for staking and unstaking in its Move modules. These functions can be directly called through the Mysten SDK's moveCall method. Below is an example of how to stake SUI to a validator using the Move function request_add_stake
To stake SUI to a validator:
Reference: The staking logic is defined in Sui's Move smart contract, which can be found here.
You can also refer to the Sui wallet app for an example of how it calls these functions in its code.
Run your dApp and ensure you have enough SUI for staking and gas fees.

How do I perceive my rewards?
When staking STX, rewards are earned in BTC. Before initiating a stake, you need to notify the Kiln team and communicate a BTC address where your rewards will be manually sent at the end of every stacking cycle. The Kiln reward address receives 100% of all rewards. Every 2 weeks, we will compute the share of rewards that was generated by your stake and rebate you the rewards accordingly.
