Staking + Unstaking

Staking on XPR Network allows token holders to actively participate in network governance and support the security and decentralization of the blockchain through Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS).

When you stake your XPR, you’re helping shape the future of the network by voting for Block Producers, the entities responsible for validating transactions and maintaining the network. Stakers are required to vote for at least 4 Block Producers. While voting is mandatory for staking, the specific Block Producers you select do not impact the amount of staking rewards you receive. View the full list of active Block Producers here.

Staking rewards are distributed automatically and proportionally based on the amount of XPR you have staked. Voting is about governance, not reward optimization - it’s your opportunity to influence who runs the network and how it evolves.

Governance and voting take place at gov.xprnetwork.org, where you can view active Governance Proposals, cast your votes, and stay informed about important network changes.
