TON staking is the process of locking your TON tokens to support the network's security and operations. In return, you earn rewards, typically 4-6% APY. Staking helps secure the TON blockchain through its Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism.

What is the difference between LST V1 and LST V2?

LST V2 (Liquid Staking Token V2) is the latest generation of liquid staking contracts with enhanced security features, better capital efficiency, and improved smart contract architecture. LST V2 contracts like KTON have undergone comprehensive security audits and offer more flexibility for DeFi integration compared to V1 protocols.

Why choose KTON for staking?

KTON utilizes the advanced LST V2 contract that has passed complete security audits. It offers instant staking, seamless DeFi integration, and maximum flexibility. KTON Premium provides additional features like OTC contracts and vesting options with flexible interest withdrawals.

What is the minimum amount required to stake?

The minimum staking amount varies by platform. KTON and KTON Premium accept any amount, making them accessible to all users. Some platforms like TONStakers and Stakee require a minimum of 1 TON, while enterprise solutions require 10,000 TON or more.

Can I unstake my TON anytime?

Yes, but the process varies by platform. Liquid staking platforms like KTON offer instant liquidity through their LST tokens, allowing you to trade or use them in DeFi immediately. Traditional staking typically requires waiting for the end of a validation cycle (approximately 18 hours on TON).
