Delegated staking on Constellation Network allows any DAG holder to participate in network security and validation by staking their tokens with validators—without needing to run a node. This enables more users to contribute to decentralization and governance while earning staking incentives.

By choosing a validator, you help secure the network, support metagraph projects, and receive DAG incentives for your participation. Some metagraph validators even offer additional L0 token rewards, increasing your potential incentives.

Why Delegate Your DAG?

  • Earn Network Incentives – Receive a fixed 3% APR, plus a share of 45% of inflation emissions and potential extra rewards from metagraphs.

  • No Technical Setup Needed – Stake without running a validator node.

  • Support Projects You Believe In – Choose validators aligned with your interests or metagraphs that offer additional rewards.

  • Flexible & Transparent – Easily switch validators, track performance, and adjust your strategy at any time.

How Delegated Staking Works

  1. Choose from available validators based on fees, performance, or project alignment

  2. Delegate your DAG tokens (no minimum requirement)

  3. Monitor your delegations through the dashboard

Key Features

  • Transparent Fees: Validators (the individuals or metagraphs you delegate too) charge between 5-10% of rewards

  • No Lock-up Period: Change validators without waiting periods

  • 21-Day Unwinding: When fully withdrawing a delegation position there’s a 21-day unwinding phase. During this time, tokens are temporarily locked as the network processes the withdrawal, ensuring a smooth transition without sudden shifts in liquidity

  • Multiple Delegations – You can open up to 10 delegated positions per wallet, each requiring a minimum of 5,000 DAG.
