Choose an operator
A validator’s voting power combines its own stake with delegated OZONE. Review the operator’s commission and available performance information rather than choosing on promised returns.
PARTICIPATION / DELEGATED PROOF-OF-STAKE
Your stake.
A role in the network.
Delegate OZONE to a validator, support block production and participate in the decisions that shape Ozone Chain. Understand the mechanics and risks before you sign.
WHAT DELEGATION DOESSupport a validator.
Support a validator.
Keep ownership.
Delegation assigns voting power to your chosen validator. Your coins remain yours, but staking introduces penalties and a release waiting period. Ownership does not mean the coins are immediately transferable.
Share network fees
Whitepaper v3.0 describes OZONE transaction fees distributed automatically every block to validators and delegators, in proportion to stake and uptime, with validator commission deducted.
Have a voice
Staked OZONE carries governance voting power. Delegators can vote directly on proposals or inherit their validator’s vote. Read the proposal before making a decision.
READ BEFORE PARTICIPATINGStaking has conditions.
Staking has conditions.
And real risks.
There is no fixed yield or guaranteed return. Fee activity, stake, uptime and commission affect distributions.
Slashing applies to delegations
Double-signing can lead to stake being slashed and the validator removed. Extended downtime can trigger a smaller penalty and jailing. Delegated stake is exposed to those penalties.
Unbonding takes time
Coins are released after an unbonding period. During that period they earn no rewards and may still be slashed for earlier misbehaviour. Confirm the current duration before delegating; this page does not state an unverified number.
Wallet actions require care
Check the selected network, amount and transaction request in your wallet. Never share private keys or recovery phrases. Blockchain actions may be irreversible.
YOUR PRE-DELEGATION CHECKLIST
Four checks before you sign.
- Confirm the destination. Open the staking portal through the official links and check that you are using Ozone Chain with OZONE.
- Review the validator. Inspect commission, available operating history and current status. Past performance does not establish future reliability.
- Read the current rules. Confirm unbonding, penalties, fees and any transaction requirements in maintained network information and the staking interface.
- Review your wallet request. Confirm the operation and amount. Keep access to your keys secure and retain the transaction reference for verification.
