What is NileNodes?

NileNodes is a leading provider of secure, high-performance validator nodes for various blockchain networks. We help secure decentralized networks and earn staking rewards on behalf of our users.

How does staking with NileNodes work?

When you stake with NileNodes, you delegate your tokens to our secure validator nodes. Our nodes participate in network consensus, validate transactions, and earn staking rewards, which are then distributed to our stakers after our small commission.

What is the minimum staking amount?

The minimum staking amount varies by network. Most networks have a minimum staking requirement, typically ranging from 0.1 to 1 token. Please check the specific network's documentation for exact requirements.

How are rewards calculated and distributed?

Rewards are calculated based on the network's inflation rate, total staked amount, and our validator's performance. We distribute rewards daily after deducting our commission. The exact APY varies by network and market conditions.

Is my staked amount safe?

Yes, your staked tokens never leave your wallet. You maintain full control of your assets at all times. We cannot access or move your funds. The only risk is the standard slashing risk associated with the specific blockchain's consensus mechanism.

What is the unbonding period?

The unbonding period varies by network, typically ranging from 14 to 28 days. During this period, your tokens are being unstaked and do not earn rewards. This is a security feature of proof-of-stake blockchains and not specific to NileNodes.

How do I get started with staking?

To get started, you'll need to have the native token of the network you want to stake on in a compatible wallet. Then, simply connect your wallet to our staking platform, select the amount you want to stake, and delegate to one of our validators.
