Rewards compound (or "add up" to your CHZ stake every time an epoch passes, an epoch being 28,800 blocks on Chiliz Chain Mainnet (or roughly 24 hours). Technically, rewards pay out as every block passes, and it’s updated on the Governance dApp once every epoch (≈ once every day).
On the , your staked CHZ includes both the total amount of CHZ that you have staked, and any staking rewards earned since then. Your staked balance is updated daily.
Note that the amount listed on the Governance site is not updated live, but once per epoch.
Yes, rewards accrue daily after staking, until you undelegate.
To claim your CHZ, you must first undelegate them (which takes up to 3 days / 2 full epochs / 72,000 blocks), then claim them.
On the , “Pending CHZ” refers to tokens that are in the process of being undelegated, which takes up to 3 days (at least 72,000 blocks). After this period, your CHZ will be available for claiming.
You need to wait 72,000 blocks (up to 3 days) between the moment you request an amount of staked CHZ to be undelegated, and the moment you can claim them. This is called the “cooling period”, or "cooldown period".
Yes, your rewards are added to your stake. This way, even your rewards can bring you even more rewards.
Your rewards are compounded to your staked CHZ.
Yes, you can stake CHZ from your Ledger. See this documentation:
No, the commission fee is deducted before the rewards are distributed. So it is unrelated to the APR.
Just a few, 5-10 CHZ should cover the gas for the claim transaction.
We will never tell you who to pledge your CHZ to. It is up to you to make that decision.
Our advice is:
Find out more about each validator's reputation.
Pay attention to the commission rate for each validator -- the fee taken by the validator from the cut of all staking rewards, for the service they provide.
Pay attention to the voting power for each validator -- a validator's influence and stability within Chiliz Chain. It does not necessarily mean more staking rewards for stakers.
The only risks are the validator being offline for more than 12 hours. Because of this, the epoch rewards would be removed as a penalty, and the validator might choose to remove their CHZ, which would result in the validator no longer generating rewards.
In any case, you can request the undelegate without problems.
