How to Stake TARA

There are 3 options available to you when staking TARA, earning staking yields, and helping to secure the Taraxa network all at the same time. Win-win-win.

  1. Liquid staking: stake via the , it's 1-click staking, with the option to auto-compounding your yields back into staking, automatically picks the most reliable & highest-yield validators, and receive a liquid staking token, no KYC, no login required.

  2. Community site: stake by delegating directly to validators of your choice, through , but it is geo-fenced and requires KYC due to regulatory compliance.

  3. On-chain: by interacting with the on-chain DPoS contract, requires some technical knowledge, works through the Remix app.

Taraxa Staking tl;dr

  • Staking TARA means directly delegating your TARA tokens into validator nodes

  • After the Aspen Upgrade, staking yields are dynamically adjusted. As of this writing it has an APR of ~14-15%, and it will continue to decay over time because Aspen caps the overall supply of TARA. Learn about the .

  • Staking yields will be shared between staker and validators (they will take a commission)

  • Staking yields , please note that this is higher than what's stated in the section, the dev team is working to build a community voting infrastructure to facilitate community-proposed & voted-on updates to the economics

  • You can redeem your yields through the

Stake to Secure the Network!

Staking (delegating your TARA to validators) is a critical part of Taraxa's consensus mechanism, which uses proof of stake (PoS) to guard against Sybil attacks. In plain language, staking makes attacking a network expensive, and aims to make attacking a network so expensive that the cost far outstrips the benefits.

When you stake, not only are you helping to secure the network against attacks, you are also earning a yield (rewards) for your efforts.

Please follow the guide below to stake and help secure the Taraxa network!
