Stake Your Tokens

If you possess JKL tokens, you can temporarily lock them away to secure the protocol, this is called staking or delegating. In exchange for securing the network, you receive rewards and the ability to vote on the Protocol’s future.

Additional Information

Staking or delegating is not risk free, this is why it is important to learn about the risks and participate in sustainable staking practices.

To decrease risk, it’s recommended that you do research on validators and select one you trust as well as delegate to multiple validators.

  • Slashing by 0.01% occurs if the validator you delegate to is offline for too long.

  • Slashing by 5% occurs if the validator signs two different blocks at the same block height.
