Staking Dashboard

Stake your blobbers and validators

The Stake Page on Chimney serves as the central hub for managing and monitoring stakes on validators and blobbers. Users can track their total stake amount, claim rewards, add stakes, manage stakes and view detailed information on stakes.

Total Stake Amount

• Displays the combined total of ZCN staked on both validators and blobbers.

• This is a dynamic figure that updates as stakes are added or removed.

Staking providers

To participate in allocation selection on the Züs network, you must stake a minimum of 20 ZCN, which enables you to potentially earn rewards. This document will guide you through the steps to stake ZCN on a blobber, including the initial mandatory stake on the validator.

To Stake a Provider, click on "Add Stake".

Step 1: Choose Stake Amount

Navigate to the "Select Amount" section and enter the amount you wish to stake on the blobber. A minimum total of 20 ZCN is required, with 10 ZCN allocated to a blobber and 10 ZCN to the validator.

Note : When staking for the first time, users will be required to stake on both the blobber and the validator. Staking on the validator is a one-time requirement, with a mandatory minimum stake of 10 ZCN.

Step 2: Confirm Stake Details

Review your staking details, including the "Amount to Stake" and the "Fees" for the transaction. Here you have the option to adjust the transaction fees according to the processing speed you prefer: slow, medium, fast or a custom fee.

Note : A higher fee increases the likelihood of a quicker transaction
