• Staking can be done directly on-chain

• 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

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.
