Secure Taraxa by Staking your TARA!

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 liquid staking protocol LARA, 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 the community site, but it is geo-fenced and requires KYC due to regulatory compliance.

3. On-chain: stake directly 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 Aspen Upgrade.

• 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 economics rewards 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 community site's claim section

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.
