What are the staking options on TON?
There are a few staking options for TON, each with a different minimum deposit, staking conditions, and withdrawal processes:
- Regular staking. The minimum deposit is 300,000 TON to become a validator and technical knowledge to spin up a node. Tokens are locked through the full validation cycle (~36 hours)
- Nominator pools. Participants lend their TON to validators. The minimum deposit is 10,000 TON and the tokens a locked up for ~36 hours.
