Staking
Staking allows you to delegate your testnet TBTSG tokens to validators, helping secure the network. On mainnet, staking earns rewards — on the testnet, it's a great way to learn the process.
How Staking Works
Choose a Validator
Delegate Tokens
Earn Rewards
Undelegate
Delegate via Keplr
Make sure you have tokens
You need testnet TBTSG in your wallet. If you don't have any, request tokens from the faucet.
Open Keplr staking
In the Keplr extension, make sure BitSong Testnet (crescendo-1) is selected. Navigate to the Staking section within the extension or the Keplr dashboard.
Choose a validator
Browse the list of active validators. Look at their commission rate and uptime. Select a validator you'd like to support.
Delegate your tokens
Click Delegate, enter the amount of TBTSG you want to stake, and confirm the transaction. Keplr will prompt you to approve the transaction.
1 TBTSG = 1,000,000 utbtsg. The minimum delegation amount is typically very small on the testnet.Key Concepts
| Term | Description |
|---|---|
| Delegation | Locking your tokens with a validator to support network security |
| Commission | The percentage of rewards a validator keeps before distributing to delegators |
| Unbonding period | 21 days — the time you must wait after undelegating before tokens are liquid |
| Slashing | If a validator misbehaves, a portion of delegated tokens may be slashed |
| Redelegation | Moving your delegation from one validator to another without unbonding |
