Overview
Fantom uses a Fluid Staking model where stakers select a lockup period between 14 to 365 days. The rewards percentage increases linearly with time, rewarding the most committed stakers more. This way, the reward schedule combines long-term sustainability for the network and flexibility for stakers. It was voted for by FTM holders in July 2020.
In the Fluid Staking model, your effective APR:
- increases proportionally with your lock-up period
- decreases proportionally with the average lock-up period of all stakers
- decreases proportionally with the total amount of FTM staked by all stakers
There are two ways to participate in staking
Comparison | Delegation | Validator Node |
Passive | + | - |
Minimum requirements | 1 FTM | 500,000 FTM |
Needed expertise | None | DevOps |
Rewards | staking rewards -15% fee on rewards | staking rewards +15% fee on delegators' rewards |
Running a Validator Node earns more rewards but requires active management and DevOps experience.
