Note: Where applicable, the APY shown on the dashboard is before Nansen's validator commission is deducted. Keep enough of the network's native token in your wallet to cover transaction fees.

Hyperliquid [HYPE]

Website · Twitter · GitHub · Docs


Commission	2%
Minimum stake	No protocol minimum specified for delegators.
Bonding	24 hours. No rewards can be earned and HYPE cannot be unstaked during this period.
Unbonding / Withdrawal	Unbonding from a validator is instant after the bonding period. Moving HYPE from the staking account back to spot then takes 7 days.
Rewards / Restaking	Rewards are distributed and auto-compounded daily.
Important	The 7-day withdrawal period starts when you transfer HYPE from your staking balance to your spot balance. There is currently no automatic slashing.
Validator	Nansen operates the Nansen x HypurrCollective validator.

Solana [SOL]

Website · Twitter · GitHub · Resources


Commission	0% on inflation and MEV rewards.
Minimum stake	1 SOL minimum delegation. A small additional balance may be required for the stake account and transaction fees.
Bonding	Typically ~1 epoch. SOL begins earning rewards once the stake becomes active.
Unbonding / Withdrawal	Typically ~1 epoch to deactivate. SOL can be withdrawn once the stake is inactive.
Rewards / Restaking	Rewards are auto-compounded into the same stake account.
Important	Activation and deactivation depend on epoch boundaries and network-wide stake limits, so they can occasionally take longer than one epoch.
Other	Priority-fee distribution to stakers is still being worked on.

Sui [SUI]

Website · Twitter · GitHub · Resources


Commission	5%
Minimum stake	No protocol minimum for delegators.
Bonding	Stake becomes active at the next epoch boundary, approximately every 24 hours.
Unbonding / Withdrawal	An unstake request can be submitted at any time. The principal is returned when unstaking, with the delegation fully settled at the epoch boundary.
Rewards / Restaking	Rewards are automatically compounded into the same stake position.

Cosmos [ATOM]

Website · Twitter · GitHub · Docs


Commission	5%
Minimum stake	No practical Nansen minimum specified; Cosmos supports delegation in fractional ATOM amounts.
Bonding	Delegation becomes bonded after the staking transaction is processed.
Unbonding / Withdrawal	21 days. No rewards are earned during unbonding and ATOM remains subject to slashing during this period.
Rewards / Restaking	Rewards can be manually claimed and restaked, or auto-compounded using REstake by Eco Stake.
Important	Redelegating directly from one validator to another does not require completing the standard 21-day unbonding period.

IOTA

Website · Twitter · Resources · Staking


Commission	10%
Minimum stake	No fixed protocol minimum for delegators.
Bonding	Stake becomes active at an epoch boundary. Epochs are approximately 24 hours.
Unbonding / Withdrawal	You can initiate unstaking at any time; the stake and accumulated rewards are settled at the relevant epoch boundary.
Rewards / Restaking	Rewards are not automatically restaked and must be staked again to compound returns.
Important	Rewards are only accrued for epochs in which the stake is active for the full epoch. If the selected validator is not in the active validator set, the delegation does not earn rewards for that epoch.
How to stake	Use the IOTA Wallet Dashboard and select Nansen as your validator.

NEAR

Website · Twitter · GitHub · Docs


Commission	7%
Minimum stake	No protocol minimum specified for users delegating through a staking pool.
Bonding	Stake starts earning rewards after the next epoch, approximately 12 hours.
Unbonding / Withdrawal	4 epochs, approximately 24 hours, before unstaked NEAR can be withdrawn. No rewards are earned during unbonding.
Rewards / Restaking	Rewards are auto-compounded.

Avalanche [AVAX]

Website · Twitter · GitHub · Docs


Commission	10%
Minimum stake	25 AVAX
Bonding / Lock-up	You select a fixed staking period. Currently, delegation periods range from 2 weeks to 1 year.
Unbonding / Withdrawal	There is no manual early unstake. AVAX is automatically unlocked when the selected staking period ends.
Rewards / Restaking	Rewards are distributed at the end of the staking period.
Important	Once submitted, the stake amount, validator, reward address and end date cannot be changed, and the stake cannot be removed early.
Other	Native Avalanche staking takes place on the P-Chain.

Flare [FLR]

Flare supports two different ways to earn rewards with Nansen: FTSO delegation and validator staking.

Website · Twitter · GitHub · Docs · Flare Portal

FTSO Delegation


Commission	10%
Minimum stake	No minimum delegation amount.
Asset	WFLR. FLR must first be wrapped into WFLR before it can be delegated.
Bonding / Lock-up	None
Unbonding / Withdrawal	No lock-up; WFLR can be undelegated at any time.
Rewards / Restaking	Rewards are paid approximately every 3.5 days and must be manually claimed and re-delegated.
Important	FTSO rewards must be claimed within 90 days or they are burned.

Validator Staking


Commission	10%
Minimum stake	50,000 FLR
Bonding / Lock-up	Minimum 14 days. You select an end date and the FLR remains locked until then.
Unbonding / Withdrawal	Funds automatically unlock when the selected staking period ends.
Rewards / Restaking	Rewards are earned across Flare reward epochs and must be manually claimed and re-staked.
Important	Validator staking is separate from FTSO delegation. Delegated FLR cannot be withdrawn before the selected staking end date.
