Stake VeriCoin, secure the network

Staking is how VeriCoin stays secure. By keeping a funded wallet online, you help validate transactions and earn Proof-of-Stake-Time rewards — no mining rig required.

How staking works

Four steps to start staking

Staking is intentionally simple: hold VeriCoin, keep your wallet online, and let it work.

Non-custodial by design

Your VRC never leaves your wallet while staking. You retain full control of your funds at all times.
  1. 1

    Hold VRC in a wallet

    Move VeriCoin into the Vericonomy desktop wallet. Your staking power comes from the coins you hold, weighted by how long they've matured.
  2. 2

    Keep the wallet unlocked and online

    Enable staking and keep the wallet open and connected to the network. Coins must mature for at least 8 hours before they're eligible.
  3. 3

    Earn time-weighted rewards

    As your wallet helps validate blocks, you earn Proof-of-Stake-Time interest. The longer eligible coins stake, the more they contribute.
  4. 4

    Compound automatically

    Rewards land back in your wallet and become eligible to stake again, compounding your contribution to network security over time.
Why stake

Rewards, security, and self-custody

No hardware needed

Staking runs in your wallet. There is no rig to buy, no electricity-heavy mining, and no minimum farm size.

Time matters

Proof-of-Stake-Time rewards coins for being held and staked over time, favoring committed long-term participants.

You keep custody

Your coins never leave your wallet. Staking secures the network without handing funds to a third party.

Sustainable issuance

Rewards follow a measured interest model targeting modest annual inflation rather than unsustainable yields.

Questions

Staking FAQ

What is Proof-of-Stake-Time?
PoST extends standard proof-of-stake by weighting a coin's influence by how long it has been held and staked. It rewards patience and discourages rapid churn, while still letting anyone participate.
How long until my coins can stake?
Coins must mature for a minimum of 8 hours after they arrive in your wallet before they're eligible to stake.
Do I need to keep my computer on?
To stake actively your wallet needs to be open, unlocked for staking, and connected to the network. If it's offline, it simply isn't contributing during that period.
Is staking safe?
Your coins stay in your own wallet the entire time. Staking is non-custodial — you are never required to deposit funds with anyone else.
