Frequent Asked Questions about Staking

What is staking?

Staking is a mechanism by which a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) cryptocurrency holder locks their cryptocurrency for a period of time to validate transactions. Users can delegate their cryptocurrency to teams that operate validating nodes. These validation nodes then use the cryptocurrency that is delegated to them to vote and validate transactions. In return, those who choose to stake are typically rewarded with cryptocurrency rewards at a specified percentage rate.

How long are my tokens are locked while staking?

Mostly projects have a fix locking period for your tokens, between 2 and 21 days, but in some networks, this period depends on how much tokens are staked/blocked in that network.

If I will stake, I will still have control to my tokens?

Yes, however, your tokens can incur a % slashing/burn penalty if the validator you voted with is slashed(eliminated from the network) for inappropriate behavior(validator is not complying with the networks rules).

Why should I stake?

Those who choose to stake are typically rewarded with new tokens/cryptocurrency rewards at a specified percentage rate.
Because you will help secure the network through delegation of your tokens to a validator while still maintaining full control over your tokens.
Ensure you are part of the token reward system and your tokens will not be devalued due to the inflation rate.

Where I can see the staking APR and the inflation rate?

It is best to check the online explorer/tracker of each project.

Who or what is a validator?

A validator is a node chosen to validate transactions and add new blocks to the blockchain.
For a node to be a validator, it must stake or lock up its coins. The more coins a node stakes, the more likely it is to be chosen to validate a block.
When a block is validated, the validator is rewarded with newly minted coins and transaction fees. Validators are also responsible for maintaining the state of the blockchain and keeping it secure.
If a validator is caught validating fraudulent transactions or breaking any of the other network rules, that validator risks losing a part of its staked coins. For this reason, nodes that stake their coins have a strong incentive to play by the rules.

What is the difference between a node and a validator?

A node is a computer that is connected to the blockchain network. Nodes can be used to validate transactions and add new blocks to the blockchain. A node can also refer to any individual participating in the network. For example, a user with a smartphone connected to the network would be considered a node.
A validator is a node that has been chosen to actively participate in validating transactions and adding new blocks to the blockchain. As mentioned earlier, such a node will need to stake its coins to stand a chance of becoming a validator.

What is the minimum amount of coins required for staking?

The minimum amount required for staking will depend on the network rules. Generally, the more coins you stake, the more likely you will be chosen as a validator.

What are some of the risks of staking coins?

There are a few risks associated with staking coins:
- If you stake your coins on a validator node that breaks the network rules, you may lose all of your staked coins through slashing.
- If the value of the coin you have staked goes down, you may lose money.

What does stake slashing mean?

Slashing is when a validator is caught breaking the network rules and is punished by having a portion of their staked coins taken away.
The purpose of slashing is to incentivize validators to behave appropriately and play by the rules. If a validator knows they may lose a portion of their coins if they break the rules, they will be less likely to do so.
Some networks also punish validators through slashing when their node is offline for too long. Again, this incentivizes validators to keep their node online and running smoothly.
