• How to stake AVAX?

  The most feasible option for network participants is by delegating their tokens to a Validator. This is a simple transaction that can be facilitated via the Avalanche Wallet.

  When you delegate stake to a validator you specify:

  • The ID of the node you’re delegating to
  • When you want to start/stop delegating stake (must be while the validator is validating)
  • How many AVAX you are staking
  • The address to send any rewards to

• How much can i make delegating my AVAX?

  If the validator that you delegate stake to is sufficiently correct and responsive while you delegate stake to them, you receive a reward when you are done delegating to them. Delegators are rewarded according to the same function as validators. However, the validator that you delegate to keeps a portion of your reward. The percentage of your reward that they keep is specified by the validator’s delegation fee rate, If it’s set to 10%, then they keep 10% of any rewards from stake delegated to them. You can check the rate of each validator in our ranking here.

  To calculate your rewards, feel free to use the Avalanche Staking Calculator.
