Managing Your Stake
Staking on Aztec takes inspiration from Ethereum’s model.
Sequencer Batches (200k AZTEC units)
When delegating, your stake is organized into fixed 200,000 AZTEC batches — analogous to 32 ETH validator units on Ethereum.
Example:
If you delegate 500,000 AZTEC:
Two batches (sequencers) of 200k are created
The remaining 100k stays inactive until enough is added to form another 200k batch
This is expected behavior — and important for understanding rewards and activation.
Understanding Slashing on Aztec
Aztec includes a slashing mechanism to penalize misbehaving sequencers. Unlike some networks, slashing only affects the specific sequencer that misbehaved, not your entire delegated balance.
Continuing the earlier example:
You stake 500k AZTEC, creating two sequencers.
If one of these sequencers is slashed repeatedly, it may eventually become inactive.
Key point: You cannot simply “refill” or top up that slashed sequencer. Instead, you must fully unstake that batch and restake it with 200k AZTEC as a fresh sequencer.
This design encourages healthy validator performance and strong operational setups.
Final Notes
Staking AZTEC helps secure one of the first fully private, decentralized L2 networks. Whether you choose to solo stake or delegate, you are contributing to a critical new layer of Ethereum infrastructure.
For users who want security, resilience, and zero-maintenance staking, P2P.org is ready to support your participation from day one.
