Staking in Tonkeeper

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.

Which staking pools are available in Tonkeeper?

Tonkeeper offers 3 staking pools:

• TON Nominators
• TON Whales
• Tonstakers Liquid Staking

How to stake TON?

Tap 'Stake' on the wallet's main screen and choose the staking pool that best suits your preferences. On the pool's page, tap 'Deposit,' enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. To ensure a successful staking transaction, keep at least 1.1 TON in your balance to cover the network fee.

How to unstake TON?

To withdraw TON from staking, tap the 'Staked Coins' tab on the wallet's main screen and select 'Withdraw.' Make sure you have at least 1.1 TON in your balance to cover blockchain fees for unstake request. Most of the fee will be refunded after the transaction.

Please note that your withdrawal will be processed after completing the validation cycle: 27 hours for Tonstakers and 36 hours for TON Whales.

Staking is based on smart contracts by third perties. Tonkeeper is not responsible for staking expirience.
