When staking The Graph (GRT), you are securing the network and benefiting from compounding your GRT!

Staking GRT involves holding GRT to support The Graph network operations and earn rewards. To become a "Validator" and participate in these operations, you need to maintain a continuously running server, possess technical knowledge and experience, and have a significant self-bond (surety bond).

This is where P2P.org Validator comes in. We allow GRT token holders to delegate their holdings to P2P.org, bypassing the need for maintenance and surety bonds. P2P accumulates users' stakes and acts as a major indexer, distributing staking rewards pro-rata among our users for their delegation.

Users who stake with P2P.org maintain full custody of their GRT at all times; P2P never has access to their funds.

💡 Example:

Assuming the APR for staking GRT is 11%, with a fee of 8%, and 1000 GRT are delegated to P2P:

  • Reward: 1000 * 11% = 110 GRT

  • Fee: 110 * 8% = 8.8 GRT

  • Estimated balance after 1 year = 1000 + 110 - 8.8 = 1101.2 GRT

By simply delegating my 1000 GRT, I support the network and earn an additional 101.2 GRT after 1 year.

Please keep in mind that the APR specified is approximate and may change with network conditions.
