Overview
Fantom uses a fluid staking model where stakers either can stake without a lock-up period for the minimum APR or select a lock-up period between 14 to 365 days for an increased APR.
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.
Rewards
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

How to receive rewards
There are two ways to participate in staking
Comparison | Delegation | Validator Node |
Passive | + | - |
Minimum requirements | 1 FTM | 50,000 FTM |
Needed expertise | None | DevOps |
Rewards | Staking rewards minus a 15% fee to delegated validator | Staking rewards plus a 15% fee from delegators' rewards |
Running a validator node earns more rewards but requires active management and DevOps experience.
