How to stake IOST?

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.
