New blocks on Neutron are proposed by validators. To enable Neutron to run seamlessly, validators need the technical capabilities to offer a secure, always on infrastructure. Not everyone is able to do this. Some token holders participate indirectly by delegating the tokens they have to a validator. Validators are running a service for delegators. They typically charge a fee to cover their operational costs.
By delegating NTRN, you help secure the network. You get part of the rewards provided by the protocol for this assistance. If you are planning to hold on to NTRN for some time, delegating will help you accumulate more NTRN while contributing to the health of the network.
You are not giving away ownership of NTRN by delegating. As a validator, we will never have the ability to move your NTRN.
NTRN penalizes any validator that misses too many blocks or double signs a block by slashing the staked amount on that validator. We have our own capital on the line, so we are fully incentivized to do our best to prevent such events. However, delegators must be aware that this slashing risk will always exist.

Undelegating (also called unbonding or unstaking) can be done anytime. However, it takes approximately 21 days for your NTRN to undelegate and become transferable. This time period exists in order to prevent long range attacks
We charge 5% from the block rewards received by our delegators. For example, if a delegator receives 100 NTRN as a reward, TTT will receive 4 NTRN while the delegator will get 95 NTRN.
With NTRN staking offering up to 0.00% APR, you can increase your earnings by an additional % by enabling the restake rewards feature on ReStake.app, accessed through your Keplr wallet. This feature automatically claims and restakes your rewards, compounding your earnings without any hassle or inconvenience. It's a secure and easy way to earn passive income.
When you stake your NTRN tokens with TTT, you may become eligible for Cosmos-based airdrops, allowing you to receive free tokens as a reward for your participation. We support many blockchain networks, so you never know what exciting opportunities may come your way.
