Tezos is a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform designed to support smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). Launched in 2018 by Arthur and Kathleen Breitman, Tezos distinguishes itself through its self-amending protocol and on-chain governance model, enabling the network to evolve without hard forks by allowing stakeholders to vote on proposed upgrades.
The Network Reward Rate (NRR) denotes the potential annual yield for participants who contribute to network security and operations. Tezos offers two distinct mechanisms for earning rewards: delegation and staking, each with its own characteristics and yield returns.
When it comes to delegation, the first rewards are assigned for cycle n+3 and distributed at the beginning of cycle n+4, where n is the cycle you delegated. Subsequent rewards are assigned for each following cycle. On the other hand, staking rewards can be assigned during the same cycle in which you staked — block rewards are assigned instantly after your baker bakes a block, while attestation, DAL, nonce, and VDF revelation tips rewards are credited at the beginning of the following cycle. Subsequent rewards are assigned for each following cycle.
There is no unbonding period for delegation; delegated funds remain liquid and can be transferred or spent at any time. However, for staking, an unbonding period applies: when you initiate an unstake, your funds enter a frozen state for 4 cycles (~4 days) before they become available for transfer or spending.
No, you can invest any amount of XTZ. However, given transaction fees on the network, we recommend staking amounts where the higher rewards will meaningfully outweigh the cost of transactions.
Yes, of course! We collaborate with leading custodians and institutional staking providers to ensure secure, compliant, and seamless Tezos (XTZ) delegation & staking solutions. Whether you use a third-party custodian or require a custom integration, we can help.
