Common questions
Is there a minimum?
1 IOTA — the smallest stake the chain accepts.
Do you hold my tokens?
No. They stay in your wallet — delegation is non-custodial.
How often are rewards paid?
Every epoch — about 24 hours — added to your stake.
What happens if you go offline?
A standby node takes over. If two-thirds of stake report a validator, the chain withholds that epoch’s rewards; stake is never cut.
Can I unstake at any time?
Yes. Withdrawn IOTA is back in your wallet at once; only the current epoch’s rewards are given up.
