Staking FAQ

Why stake with Figment?

What are the Advantages of Staking?

For long-term token holders, staking offers an opportunity to put their tokens to work and earn rewards, rather than leaving them idle in wallets. Staking also plays a crucial role in enhancing the security and efficiency of blockchains. By staking tokens, token holders help make the blockchain more resistant to attacks and improve its transaction processing capabilities.

What is staking?

Staking is the act of delegating tokens to secure and, in some cases, govern networks. Staking differs from Bitcoin and other Proof-of-Work (PoW) networks that rely on high energy consumption “mining” to secure networks.

What is Proof-of-stake?

While the specific implementations of Proof-of-Stake (PoS) may vary between projects, the core principle remains consistent: users commit their tokens to maintain the blockchain’s security. These staked tokens act as a pledge of good faith, deterring any malicious activities and bad actors reinforcing the protocol rules.

Why does staking produce a reward?

There are costs associated with participating in PoS consensus – hardware, tokens, time, etc – all of these must be compensated to entice participants to engage. Protocols must design their reward system to achieve the minimum staking participation rate. The minimum staking participation rate is somewhat subjective, but is the rate at which attackers are sufficiently discouraged from trying to break consensus; in other words, the gains from attacking the network are more than offset from the losses incurred.

Why is staking important?

Arguably, holding a network’s tokens over an extended period gives the holders an interest in the long term health and sustainability of the network, staking makes this explicit and stronger by adding the threat of having tokens away for misbehavior. Beyond aligning stakers with the long term health of the network, increased staking increases the security of the network as the cost to attack the network increases.

Where do my tokens ‘go’?

Your tokens remain on the blockchain, under the control of your private key. Figment never takes custody of your tokens. The delegated tokens are staked or bonded to a Figment-run validator node.

What happens if I want to unstake?

You are welcome to unstake at any time. Unstaking is typically a very simple process, with unbonding periods ranging from 0-28 days. After the unbonding period, your tokens and rewards are available.

What are the staking risks?

One of the more serious risks is if a validator commits a double signing event – effectively voting for two different, mutually exclusive versions of the network at the same time. Most networks will slash validators for double signing – levying penalties and often removing the validator from the active set for some period of time – sometimes permanently in the case of Ethereum.

Another significant risk is validator key security. Although compromised validator keys don’t often lead to direct theft of tokens, it can lead to adverse outcomes for stakers and must be treated seriously.

Another penalty that some networks issue is for missed rewards – this can happen when validator infrastructure are offline for an extended period of time. These penalties tend to be lower than other penalties though.
