Staking/Unstaking a provider

How to Stake, Claim Rewards, and Unlock Stake.

Summary

Stake ZCN

Stake ZCN to Miners, Sharders, and Blobbers to receive ZCN rewards.

1. Navigate to “Stake”.

2. Select “Miner, Sharder, or Blobber.”

3. Choose your provider.

4. Input your desired stake.

5. Confirm.

Unlock Stake

1. Access “Current Stakes” on the “Stake” page.

2. Manage the stake for the desired provider.

3. Opt to “Remove Stake.”

You can only remove the total staked amount. It is not possible to remove it partially.

Your tokens might get locked and unable to be removed if there is enough used storage relative to the write price of the blobber. The main idea here is that the blobber should always have enough space to back its used storage based on its write price.
