Staking
Staking is a fundamental part of TabiChain, enabling network security, consensus, and governance through a delegated proof-of-stake (dPoS) mechanism. By staking $TABI tokens, validators and delegators work together to secure the network, earn rewards, and influence its future direction. Unlike proof-of-work systems, dPoS relies on economic value staked rather than computing power, resulting in a more energy-efficient and scalable blockchain.
Engaging in staking allows both developers and everyday users to support TabiChain’s health and growth. As a staker, you also gain access to governance decisions—proposals and votes that shape the network’s evolution.
How Staking Works
In TabiChain’s dPoS model, token holders (delegators) commit their $TABI tokens to validators. Validators produce and verify blocks, while delegators share in the rewards generated. The more tokens a validator accumulates (including delegated stakes), the more influence they have on the network’s consensus—ensuring that good performance is incentivized, and poor performance is penalized.
Key Takeaways:
- Validators produce blocks and earn rewards.
- Delegators stake tokens with validators to earn a share of those rewards.
- Reliable validators and active delegators help maintain a secure and high-performance network.
Staking Rewards & Incentives
Validators and delegators receive rewards sourced from transaction fees and inflationary emissions. These rewards are distributed proportionally, based on the amount of Tabi staked. Validators typically charge a commission on rewards before distributing the remainder to their delegators.
You can easily check a validator’s commission rate and performance via Tabi Station’s interface or querying the blockchain directly.
Using Tabi Station to Stake
Tabi Station provides an intuitive dashboard for all your staking needs:
- My Delegations: A dedicated section showing which validators you’re currently supporting, how much you’ve staked, any unstaking in progress, and your claimable rewards.
- Validators List: Browse all validators, view their staked amounts, APR, commissions, and performance. A search function lets you find validators by name or address.
- Stake & Unstake: Simple pop-ups guide you through entering an amount, confirming the transaction with your connected wallet, and receiving immediate confirmation.
- Claim Rewards: A “Claim” button appears whenever you have unclaimed staking rewards, making it easy to collect them without hassle.
Staking on Tabi Station:
- Connect Your Wallet: Log into Tabi Station and connect your wallet.
- Choose a Validator: Review validators’ performance, APR, and commissions.
- Delegate $TABI Tokens: Enter the amount you want to stake. Once confirmed, you start earning rewards.
- Manage Ongoing Stakes: Stake more, redelegate to a new validator, or unstake tokens when ready.
Key Staking Concepts
Delegation
When you delegate tokens to a validator, you contribute to their total stake, helping secure the network. In return, you earn a share of the validator’s rewards. Although your tokens are locked during the staking period, you remain the owner of your tokens.
Unstaking
If you decide to withdraw your staked tokens, you begin an unstaking period (e.g., 21 days, subject to the network’s parameters). During this time, your tokens earn no rewards and cannot be transferred. After the unstaking period finishes, your tokens return to your wallet, and you can use them as you would like.
Redelegation
If you wish to switch from one validator to another without waiting for the unstaking period, you can redelegate. Redelegation instantly moves your stake to the new validator. To prevent rapid changes that might destabilize the system, restrictions like a cooldown period for the new validator and a limit on simultaneous redelegations apply.
Staking & Un-Staking
- Staking: Locking $TABI to a validator (delegating) to start earning rewards immediately.
- Un-Staking: Initiating the process to release your staked tokens after the set unstaking period.
Convert
What Is Converting?:
- Convert lets you transform $veTABI into $TABI with different time-lock periods.
- Longer lock periods will give you a higher return in $TABI.
How It Works:
- Choose an Amount:
- Enter how much $veTABI you want to convert.
- Click “Max” if you’d like to convert your maximum available amount.
- Pick a Time Period:
- Options might look like “10 days = 25% Tabi,” “90 days = 50% Tabi,” “180 days = 100% Tabi.”
- Selecting a longer period gives you more $TABI.
- See Your Estimated Returns:
- Before confirming, see how much $TABI you’ll get after the chosen period.
- Confirm and Wait:
- Submit the transaction and wait for the period to end.
- When the time’s up, you can claim your newly unlocked $TABI.
In-Progress Conversions:
- A simple list shows any ongoing conversions, their start time, end time, and what’s claimable.
- If the conversion isn’t finished yet, you can cancel it.
- If the conversion is finished, you can claim your $TABI.
Governance
What Is Governance?:
- Governance lets you shape the future of TabiChain by voting on proposals.
- If you hold Tabi, you can participate in decisions that affect the network’s parameters, upgrades, and community-driven changes.
How to Vote:
- Browse proposals, read their details, and cast your vote.
- Make your voice heard and help steer TabiChain’s direction.
