How Vanar Staking Works

To stake $VANRY, simply connect your wallet to the Vanar Staking Platform and choose a validator node. You can use MetaMask, Wallet Connect, or Coinbase Wallet to seamlessly interact with the platform. There is no minimum amount required—you can stake as much or as little as you like. Once staked, your tokens support network operations while earning staking rewards.

Vanar Community Node: Empowering the Ecosystem

The Vanar Community Node stands out among the validators as a dedicated community-driven node. Unlike traditional enterprise and Web3-native nodes, the Community Node reinvests a portion of its validator rewards back into the ecosystem to support community engagement and growth.

Key Features of the Vanar Community Node:

The validator rewards earned by the Community Node will be used to fund:

• Node running costs to ensure continued network stability.
• GroV rewards and special campaigns.
• Airdrops and exclusive community incentives for $VANRY stakers.

By choosing the Vanar Community Node, stakers not only contribute to network security but also actively support initiatives that benefit the entire Vanar community.

Commission and Rewards

Validators may charge a commission fee—a small percentage of the rewards earned by stakers.

Example:

• If you stake 1,000 VANRY with an annual percentage yield (APY) of 20% and the validator’s commission is 10%, your reward will be 200 VANRY for the year.
• 20 VANRY (10%) is deducted as commission for the validator, leaving you with 180 VANRY.

Rewards are accrued continuously and can be claimed at any time.

Is There a Lockup or Cooldown Period?

There is no lockup period—you can stake or unstake your tokens anytime. However, after initiating an unstake, there is a 21-day cooldown period before your tokens become available for withdrawal. During this time, you’ll no longer earn rewards on the unstaked tokens but can still claim any unclaimed rewards from previous stakes.

Boosting Network Security Through Staking

By staking $VANRY, you delegate voting power to validators responsible for securing the network, validating transactions, and maintaining blockchain integrity. Validators on Vanar are chosen based on their performance and reputation in both Web2 and Web3, ensuring only reputable entities participate.
