Please be aware that the Avail mainnet is not currently live, and staking is unavailable at this time. All screenshots in this guide were taken on the testnet and will be replaced with real ones once the Avail mainnet is launched. Stay tuned for updates!
When staking Avail (AVAIL) you are securing the network with the additional benefit of compounding your AVAIL!
Staking AVAIL is the process of holding AVAIL "stake" to partake and support the operations in the Avail network to receive rewards. In order to be a "Validator" and participate in these operations, one is required to maintain a server running continuously, technological knowhow, experience, and have a significant self-bond (surety bond).
This is where P2P Validator comes in, we allow AVAIL token holders to forget about all the heavy lifting i.e maintenance, surety bonds etc. by "delegating" their holdings to P2P to receive these rewards. We accumulate users' stake and act as a major indexer, receiving and allocating staking rewards between our users pro rata for the delegation.
Investors that chose to stake with P2P maintain full custody of their AVAIL at all times and P2P will never have access to them.
