Staking
TrustDAG staking is designed as a verified-access feature with hardcoded eligibility, lock, reward, and disqualification rules.
Staking supports network participation through verified wallet binding, permanent FTS identity reference, epoch accounting, and aggregate public reporting.
Epoch length is seven days. The unstake lock period is seven days before principal and eligible rewards return to the origin wallet.
Rewards come from the protocol reward accounting pool and eligibility rules.
Disqualification can apply when FTS, DAO, DDRS, compliance, or staking rules identify conduct that makes an account ineligible.
Third-party custody, pooled custody, CEX custodial staking, private override, origin-wallet bypass, and reward-claim destination manipulation are not permitted.
Public staking views remain aggregate-only and do not expose individual origin wallets, claim destinations, individual stake records, individual reward history, or raw slashing evidence.
The core staking rules and the reward-calculation rules are hardcoded on-chain and cannot be modified by anyone.
Staking rewards vary based on the total amount staked by all stakers and the active on-chain reward rules.
With TrustDAG, staking is a privilege, not a right.
This privilege can be lost when eligibility conditions are not respected, and it can be recovered when the participant again satisfies the required conditions.
