Lock your own Gram with the Elector contract and run a node that signs blocks. Full control and full rewards, but serious capital and operations.

Run a validator

Pool your Gram with a validator that runs the node for you. Simpler than validating, but your stake is locked and you manage entries and exits yourself.

Nominator pool

Deposit into a protocol that spreads stake across validators and gives you a token for your position. Rewards compound automatically.

The trade-off: large exits wait for the round

The upgrade role is switched off: turning it back on shows on-chain and then waits {h} hours. Tonstakers, Stakee and Hipo can change their code without a wait. The contracts are [open source](https://github.com/KTON-IO/liquid-staking-contract).

TON staking right now

Validators send their stakes to the Elector contract. The window closes about 2.3 hours before the round starts.

The elected set (now {validators} validators) signs blocks for one cycle of 65,536 seconds, about 18.2 hours.

Stakes stay frozen for about 9.1 hours after the round, so misbehaviour can still be punished.

Stake plus rewards come back. The same Gram can join every other election, so it earns about {rounds} times a year.
