Staking

Monad uses staking to determine the voting weights and leader schedule in MonadBFT. Validators must stake at least a minimum amount, plus others can delegate to them.

When a block is produced, the leader who produced that block earns a block reward, which is distributed to each delegator of that leader, pro rata to their portion of that leader’s stake, minus a commission.

Check out the topics below:

• Staking Behavior describes how the staking system works. Users should refer to this page to understand the relevant parameters and time periods.

• Staking Precompile describes the interface of the staking precompile. Developers building functionality that interacts with the trading system should review the Staking Behavior, then go here.
