How staking works
Delegate to a validator, what you earn, what you risk and how to withdraw.
Validators lock OSL as stake. Holders can delegate their tokens to a validator and share its rewards, minus the validator's commission.
Rewards and risks
- Rewards vary with how much of the supply is staked and are not guaranteed.
- A validator that misbehaves can be slashed, and delegators share the loss.
- Withdrawing takes 14 days (the unbonding period).
Spread stake across more than one validator and prefer operators with a long, public track record.
