Frequently Asked Questions about Iota Staking

Is staking safe?

Yes. Your tokens never leave your wallet. Staking only delegates voting power to the validator.

When do I get rewards?

Rewards are distributed at the end of the epoch. One epoch normally last a day.

Do I have to claim my reward to stake it back?

No rewards are atuomatically added to the stake for the next epoch.

Can I unstake anytime?

Yes, you can stop staking anytime. Please note while unstaking you will lose reward for that epcoh

Do I need to keep monitoring my stake?

Yes, its is advisable that you look at the status atleast once daily. This way you can make sure that you are staking in the best possible node.

When I staked the fee was low but since then why has it gone up?

Yes, nodes can change the fee for the next epoch. So it's not only advisable to choose a node with a low fee, but also one that promises to keep the fee low for an extended period of time. We will not change the fee until August 2025. Even after then if we change we will be reasonable and keep it as low as possible
