• How to stake IOST?

  For the average user the best way to stake IOST is by voting for one of the Producers (Servi Nodes) in the Network.

  50% of all Block and Ecosystem Bonus Rewards are shared with voters.

  The Voting is easily done via the IOST Biss Dashboard.

• Which network metrics do the rewards depend on?

  The IOST inflation is set at 2% p.a. For the first year there is another ecosystem bonus incentive of additional 2% on top.

  Effectively the staking yield always depends on the total number of voting participants.

  Less voters = higher rewards. With the above metrics we track the current status only.

• Is there a risk to stake ?

  Staking IOST is safe as long you protect your private keys. There is no risk of slashing.

  If you wish to redeem your votes, it takes 7 days.

  After redemption, you can vote again, trade or withdraw.

  Note that the distribution of rewards will stop once you initiate the vote redemption process.

  The Block / Token Issuance Rewards are paid out daily and the Ecosystem Bonus Rewards are paid out quarterly.
