Validator Rewards

  • 01

    Validators participating in consensus

    They vote on state transitions, propose blocks, and vote on future protocol upgrades via on-chain governance. The amount of NAM they have at stake determines their voting power, including their own self stake and the amount delegated to them. Validators share staking rewards with delegators and can charge a commission rate.

  • 02

    Delegators stake NAM to validators

    Delegators research and select validators to stake tokens to, collecting rewards proportional to their stake. Selected validators participate in consensus and governance on the delegator’s behalf. Staked tokens are bonded and thus not liquid, but can be withdrawn following the unbonding period.
