Staking Rewards

Staking Rewards

ZetaChain is a delegated proof of stake blockchain. Holders of ZETA tokens can stake their tokens by delegating to validators. Staking tokens allows holders to participate in governance and earn rewards for securing the network. ZetaChain uses the standard Cosmos SDK staking, distribution, and slashing modules.

Currently, staking rewards are comprised of transaction fees collected each block and fixed rewards coming from the emissions pool.

StakingRewards=TransactionFees+EmissionsPoolNumberOfBlocksPerYear×4×ValidatorRewardsPercentageStakingRewards = TransactionFees + {EmissionsPool \over NumberOfBlocksPerYear × 4} × ValidatorRewardsPercentage

Emissions pool address: zeta1w43fn2ze2wyhu5hfmegr6vp52c3dgn0srdgymy

You can find the emissions pool balance by querying the API:

  • The emission pool is currently funded manually
  • Currently, there is no inflation in the network
