What is Monad Staking?

Monad staking is the process of locking the native MON tokens on the Monad network to secure the blockchain and earn rewards. By delegating your tokens to a validator, you help the network reach consensus using MonadBFT, yielding a projected 8–12% annual return.

What is Staking?

Proof-of-Stake protocols use staking to create consensus. By locking native tokens into a validator - or indexers on Monad blockchain -, you earn the right to secure a chain and earn rewards on your stake. Due to its environmental efficiency, staking has overtaken mining and is used far more often in newer protocols.

How it Works.

By locking a protocol’s native tokens to give “validators” the right to secure a chain. Validators propose new blocks or attest other validators’ blocks, gaining rewards for doing so.

Evaluate Validator Metrics:

staking operates in "epochs". Staking actions (like delegating or compounding) usually become active at the start of the next epoch, which occurs approximately every 5.5 hours.

Withdraw Safely:

Delegating is generally not instantly withdrawable. To unstake, you must initiate an "undelegate" request and typically wait until the end of an epoch.

Compounding :
Mechanism:
Liquid staking:

Native staking does not auto-compound; you must manually claim or call a compound function to add rewards back into your staked balance.

The Mechanics of Staking

Staking is built on a consensus mechanism called Proof-of-Stake (PoS). Instead of using massive computers to solve mathematical puzzles (like Bitcoin's Proof-of-Work), PoS networks rely on users who stake their own crypto as a security deposit.

Validation:

The network randomly selects validators to propose and confirm new blocks of data (transactions) on the blockchain.

Collateral:

Your locked crypto acts as collateral; if the validator acts dishonestly or goes offline, they risk losing a portion of their staked assets (a process called "slashing").

Rewards:

If the network confirms the validator performed their duties accurately, they earn a portion of the transaction fees or newly minted tokens.
