3. How Staking Works

  • When you stake tokens, you delegate your assets to a validator who secures the network.
  • Validators earn rewards by processing transactions and maintaining the blockchain.
  • Your rewards are proportional to your stake and the validator's performance.
  • Staked tokens may be locked for a period depending on your chosen lock-up duration.
  • You can claim rewards periodically or restake them automatically.

4. Security & Privacy

  • We never store your private keys or seed phrases. Your wallet remains under your control.
  • Always verify you are using the official site URL and avoid phishing attempts.
  • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your wallet for added security.
  • Review our Privacy Policy to understand how we handle your data.

5. Risk Disclosure

  • Cryptocurrency prices are volatile and can decrease, affecting your staked assets' value.
  • Validators may be penalized ("slashed") for misbehavior, which can reduce your stake.
  • There may be lock-up periods during which your tokens cannot be withdrawn.
  • Please stake only what you can afford to lock or lose.

6. Fees & Charges

  • Platform fee: 5% of staking rewards (deducted automatically).
  • Network transaction fees apply for staking and unstaking transactions.
  • No fees for wallet connection or viewing your staking status.
