[Frequently asked questions]

Still have questions?

What is a validator in the dYdX network?

A validator in the dYdX network is a node operator who participates in the consensus process by proposing and validating blocks. Validators stake DYDX tokens as collateral to ensure honest behavior and can accept delegations from other token holders. They play a crucial role in maintaining the security and decentralization of the network.

How do I delegate my DYDX tokens to your validator?

To delegate your DYDX tokens to our validator, you need to use a compatible wallet like Keplr, Leap, or Cosmostation. Navigate to the staking section in your wallet. Search for "CLC" in the validator list, select our validator, choose the amount you want to delegate, and confirm the transaction. Your delegation will be active after the transaction is confirmed.

What is the commission rate and what does it mean?

Our validator commission rate is 5%. This means we keep 5% of the rewards generated from staking as compensation for operating and maintaining the validator infrastructure. The remaining 95% of rewards are distributed proportionally to all delegators based on their stake amount. This commission helps us maintain high-quality infrastructure and security.

How often are staking rewards distributed?

Staking rewards are distributed automatically with each block on the dYdX chain. This means rewards accumulate continuously in real-time, approximately every few seconds. You can claim your accumulated rewards at any time through your wallet interface. There are no minimum amounts or waiting periods for claiming rewards.

What is the unbonding period and why does it exist?

The unbonding period is currently 21 days on the dYdX chain. When you decide to undelegate your tokens, they enter an unbonding state where they don't earn rewards and cannot be transferred. This security mechanism exists to prevent "nothing at stake" attacks and ensures validators and delegators have skin in the game. During this period, your tokens are still subject to slashing if the validator misbehaves.

What happens if the validator gets slashed?

Slashing represents a penalty mechanism triggered when validators engage in misconduct (such as double signing or extended offline periods). In the event our validator experiences slashing, rewards will be temporarily suspended during the affected period. Nevertheless, we operate enterprise-grade infrastructure with comprehensive monitoring and redundancy systems to minimize such risks. Our team brings extensive experience in validator operations, maintaining exceptional uptime performance records.
