Staking notes

How staking works on Staker Club: bonding, fees, rewards, and risk. Settlement is on Robinhood Chain, chain ID 4663.

What staking is

Staking bonds coins to a proof-of-stake network so validators can attest blocks. In return the protocol pays issuance, and sometimes a share of fees, in the same asset. While bonded, you generally cannot sell or transfer that amount.

Assets

ETH, SOL, and ADA, plus BNB, HYPE, TRX, SUI, AVAX, HBAR, TAO, DOT, CRO, APT, NEAR, TON, ATOM, INJ, TIA, SEI, XTZ, MINA, KAVA, FLOW, GRT, FET, and ALGO. Minimum size is $1 at the live USD price.

Network

Robinhood Chain is an Arbitrum Layer-2. Gas is ETH. Public RPC: rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com. Explorer: robinhoodchain.blockscout.com. The app will switch your wallet to chain ID 4663, or add it if it is missing.

Wallet

Use an injected wallet you already hold the key for. The app requests accounts, chain switch, balance, and signatures. It does not create a contract wallet, does not ask for a seed, and does not move coins to an address you cannot sign. Disconnect clears the session here and, where the wallet supports it, revokes account permission.

Fee

Net APY is the estimated protocol rate minus a 25% fee. If a market quotes 8% at the protocol, you see 6% net. Any staking-partner cut, when one is used, is capped at 2.75% and sits inside that 25%.

Bonding

Bonding is the time from signature to first reward. It is set by the asset's protocol, not by a queue we invent. ETH can start once the stake is in. SOL waits a short epoch. ADA's first payout is about 15 days, then weekly.

Unbonding

Unbonding is the time from an exit request to coins you can use again. ATOM, INJ, TIA, SEI, and KAVA sit at 21 days. DOT and GRT sit at 28. SOL is a few days. ADA has no long unbond after it is live. During unbonding you stop earning on that amount.

ETH batches

ETH validators activate in 32 ETH batches. Your share of the protocol rate can land between 50% and 100% before the fee.

Rewards

Rewards are estimated from the net APY and the time the position has been active after bonding. They are paid in the staked asset. Claim them from the position card. Rates change with participation, issuance, and fees.

Risks

• Price can move while you wait to unbond.
• Slashing can burn a slice of bonded stake on some networks.
• APY is an estimate. It can go to zero.
• Some networks have few validators. That concentrates operational risk.

Cancel a pending stake

You can only drop a request before bonding starts. Once the protocol has the stake, wait out unbonding if you want the coins back.
