Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum amount to stake?
You can delegate as little as 100 CEL to a validator. To run your own validator, you need at least 1,000,000 CEL.
How often are rewards distributed?
Staking rewards are distributed every epoch, which is approximately every 3 days (270,000 slots at 320ms per slot).
Is there an unstaking period?
Yes, there is a 7-day unbonding period when you unstake. During this time, your tokens do not earn rewards but are still locked.
What are the risks of staking?
The main risk is slashing - validators can lose 1% of stake for double voting or 0.01% per hour for downtime. Delegators share in slashing proportionally.
Can I stake from a hardware wallet?
Yes, Celereum supports staking from Ledger and Trezor hardware wallets through the official wallet interface.
