What is staking?
Staking presents an opportunity for cryptocurrency holders to generate passive income through the delegation of their assets to validators responsible for upholding the integrity of the network.
Why is staking necessary?
The TON blockchain uses the Proof of Stake (PoS) algorithm, which means the network’s security and stability are supported by validators. In PoS, validators are selected based on the amount of cryptocurrency they are willing to stake as collateral. The larger a validator's stake, the higher the rewards they receive for confirming transactions on the blockchain.
To enable this, staking pools are in place, where validators collect and lock users' deposits on a dedicated server. Participation in staking allows users to contribute to the functionality of the blockchain and receive rewards.

How to unstake TON?
The staked coins will be conveniently displayed on the main screen of your wallet. To unstake TON, simply tap on this tab and select 'Withdraw.' Your withdrawal request will be processed after completing the validation cycle: 27 hours for Tonstakers and 36 hours for TON Whales.
📌 Note that for unstaking, your wallet balance must have at least 0.4 TON to cover the blockchain fee. If you are using Tonstakers Liquid Staking, you need at least 1.1 TON.
Staking is based on smart contracts by third perties. Tonkeeper is not responsible for staking expirience.
