🏦Staking

Depend on current situation, Astra Chain are running with 16 active validator nodes and this will be expanded to 150 validator nodes to maximize the decentralized nature. These nodes are managed by many vendors and partners, but are under the Astra Validator Reward Program. These validator nodes help normal users to verify transactions and secure the blockchain networks.

ASA holders can delegate ASA to one (or some) of these validators and get most of the staking reward. The delegated validator keeps an amount of reward as commission fee. Astra validators and their respective delegators earn rewards every epoch (1 day).

The lock-up period is 21 days. That means users can freely undelegate their stake on day [T] and they will receive ASA on day [T+21].
