What are the benefits and risks of staking?

Technical Features of Staking

1. Reward Distribution

Staking protocols distribute network rewards to participants according to smart contract mechanisms. These rewards are generated by the blockchain protocol itself.

2. Smart Contract Security

Staking in MyTonWallet utilizes official TON Liquid Staking smart contracts, developed by the TON Core team with security audits.

3. Network Benefits

By staking TON, you contribute to network security. Staked tokens help maintain blockchain reliability, and stakers receive a portion of network transaction fees as part of the protocol mechanism.

4. Governance Participation

Stakers delegate voting rights to validators through deposits, participating in TON's decentralized governance system where validators represent staker interests.

5. Accessibility

The interface allows staking with minimum amounts: 3 TON, 1 MY*, and 1 USDe. Withdrawal functionality is available according to smart contract terms.

6. Simplicity

Staking through smart contracts does not require specialized hardware or technical expertise, unlike mining operations.

Staking Risks

1. Reduced Liquidity

Staked tokens are locked in smart contracts and cannot be used for other transactions during the staking period. Withdrawal processing times vary based on smart contract conditions.

2. Market Volatility

Token values can fluctuate significantly, potentially resulting in losses if market prices decline during the staking period.

3. Regulatory Considerations

Regulatory changes may affect staking protocols and conditions. Smart contract-based staking operates according to blockchain protocol rules.

4. Smart Contract Risks

While audited, smart contracts may contain unforeseen technical vulnerabilities or behave differently than expected.

Staking is performed through official TON smart contracts that have been audited. MyTonWallet provides the interface and computing resources for staking but does not have access to your funds. Please evaluate potential risks independently before making investment decisions.
