Delegation & Staking General Overview

Tezos (XTZ) operates on a Proof-of-Stake system, supporting both delegation and staking making you eligible for the network rewards; however staked assets are associated with three times the rewards of delegated assets and are subject to an unbonding period. Adaptive issuance adjusts token inflation to keep the network balanced: fewer staked assets mean more issuance and higher rewards, while more staked assets mean lower issuance and smaller rewards.

While this page covers essential information valuable for individual investors, we encourage everyone to visit Network Details page which includes key aspects of network architecture, detailed differences between delegation and staking, and other useful insights.

Top-notch Performance

At P2P.org, we understand how crucial it is to be a reliable staking provider. That’s why we leverage top-tier infrastructure, advanced monitoring, and a dedicated team of developers to ensure constant availability and swift resolution of any issues.

Our spotless baker performance in delivering consistent rewards since 2018 without a single slashing incident can be verified on the tzStats platform, which tracks both the latest cycles and our lifetime performance. This flawless track record reflects our commitment to operational excellence and the trust that our clients place in us to safeguard their staking operations.

Delegation & Staking Processes

Both delegation and staking of XTZ, along with all related functionalities, are available through multiple wallets and dApps. We recommend using the official Tezos dApp. On this platform, you can connect multiple wallets including but not limited to Kukai, Ledger (via Kukai), Trust Wallet, Temple, or Umami, making it a go-to tool regardless of where you hold your XTZ. It’s important to note that whether you’re delegating or staking, your assets always remain in your wallet.

On the Tezos network, you assign your entire wallet balance to a single baker for delegation and staking operations. That’s why it’s essential to choose a reliable baker to ensure the highest level of security for your assets. P2P.org stands out by offering daily payouts, robust security, and comprehensive support throughout your staking journey.

A step-by-step guides covering the entire delegation and staking process is available on our blog. If you need assistance, feel free to reach out using contact options featured at the bottom of this page.

Tracking Rewards

The easiest and most efficient way to monitor rewards is through the TzKT explorer.

You can view current reward rates for both staking and delegation on the TzKT explorer’s homepage under the “Proof-of-Stake” section. By entering your wallet address in the search box and navigating to the “Rewards” section, you can also transparently track your personal rewards for each past cycle and a few upcoming ones. The platform provides general statistics including total rewards, fees paid, and average NNR for the selected period. Keep in mind that staking rewards are automatically restaked to your staking balance, while delegation rewards are sent to your wallet’s spendable balance and are immediately available for use.

Rewards frequency

In case of 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 other hand, the first 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 subsequent cycle. Subsequent rewards are assigned for each following cycle.

Slashing risk

In Tezos, only stakers (not delegators) face a potential risk of slashing if the baker behaves maliciously (e.g., double baking or double endorsing). While slashing is technically possible, such events are extremely rare, as the Tezos network is designed to encourage correct behavior rather than punish misbehavior.

Fees

P2P.org always provides the most competitive fees on the market. Our delegation and staking fees are always up-to-date on our Tezos dedicated project page and can be verified versus competitors using network explorers such as TzKT.
