of 30 days and restaking 12 times? I ask because longer stakes can be more risky because you cannot sell if market crashes.
don't stake on a centralized exchange which makes you lock your funds. Stake on self-custody wallets which lets you unstake when you wish and unstake only lasts 1-3 days
Even self custody wallet stakes have a risk what if validators go offline or are malicious and do not pay? I know that some of them are located in areas that have a geopolitical risk and wars in close proximity.
That is not true, reward distribution is automatic. Worst case is validator goes offline, you stop receiving rewards but you can withdraw all your stake and rewards that accumulated while the validator was working
In SOLANA staking, you have the flexibility to unskate your staked account or withdraw your tokens any time you choose.
I can only withdraw my initial stake that I have delegated and do not get my reward if the validator never comes back online is that right?
that is not right, your stake always gets rewards when the validator is active and you can withdraw it even if validator is offline
How can a validator be active if he is offline?
Yup, if the validator is not active, rewards may not be generated.
All that is handled by the network smart contracts and not by the fact if the validator is offline or online. It would be crazy if you could not withdraw your rewards and stake if a validator goes offline
@vidor That is the risk I mean because of some validators that are in countries which are currently in a war. It is possible that a validator gets attacked and may choose to not come back if he does not want to buy new hardware to secure the network afther an explosion for example. I still wonder how I get my initial stake back. I guess other validators know about all stakes from a code perspective.
Let me confirm with my validator team. Hold on please
you go to your Solflare wallet, click withdraw and get your stake back that's it.
You may get your initial stake back but probably no rewards let us wait and see what the validator team actually says for the described desaster scenario in which validators get physically attacked.
You must be talking from experience, thanks for the issue raised. I am also eagerly awaiting the response of the Validator Team.
If validator stops, delegator doesn’t get any profit on his stake.
But how about token sol? can delegator withdraw if my validator not running computer again?
As @vidor said. Even if your validator gets nuked, dismantled, eaten by slugs, gets flooded. You can still unstake
That is good to know.
A validator has no authority over a delegator's stake under any circumstances. If a validator ceases operation, the delegated stake becomes inactive in voting and no longer generates profits. However, the delegator can withdraw their stake at any time, even though they may lose potential earnings.
Okay thanks for the answer. I guess that this mechansim is a result of Solana's PoS. Stakers delegate into a smart contract.
