What is the minimum amount to stake SynX?

The minimum staking amount is 5 SYNX (Faith Proof). This low threshold ensures staking is accessible to all holders while maintaining meaningful network participation.

What APR does SynX staking offer?

SynX staking offers three APR tiers based on lock period: 5% APR for 7-day lock, 6% APR for 14-day lock, and 7.77% APR for 30-day lock. Longer commitments earn higher rewards. Staking is only available in the SynergyX wallet.

Is SynX staking quantum-resistant?

Yes. All staking operations, including delegation, reward distribution, and validator selection, are secured by NIST-standardized Kyber-768 key encapsulation and SPHINCS+ hash-based signatures. Staking rewards and validator identities are protected against quantum computing attacks.

How long is the SynX staking lock period?

The staking lock period is 7 days. After initiating an unstake, coins become available after the 7-day cooldown completes. During the lock period, coins continue earning rewards.

What is slashing in SynX staking?

Slashing is a penalty mechanism that destroys a portion of a validator's staked coins if they act maliciously, such as double-signing blocks or extended downtime. This protects honest stakers and maintains network integrity.

SynX Staking: Quantum-Resistant Delegated Proof-of-Stake

Minimum: 5 SYNX APR: 5% - 7.77% Lock: 7 / 14 / 30 Days

SynX staking uses delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS) to secure the network and reward coin holders. Block producers are selected proportionally to their staked balance. All staking operations are secured by NIST-standardized Kyber-768 and SPHINCS+ post-quantum cryptography. No identity verification required.

Staking Parameters

Parameter	Value
Minimum Stake	5 SYNX (Faith Proof)
7-Day Lock	5% APR
14-Day Lock	6% APR
30-Day Lock	7.77% APR
Auto-Compound	Yes - rewards reinvested automatically
Slashing	Active - malicious validators penalized
KYC Required	No
Quantum Resistance	Kyber-768 + SPHINCS+ + ML-DSA 87

How SynX Staking Works

1. Delegation

Stake a minimum of 5 SYNX from your wallet. Your coins remain in your control - delegation does not transfer ownership. The staked balance contributes to block producer selection weight.

2. Block Production

Block producers are selected proportionally to total staked balance. Higher stake increases selection frequency. Selected producers validate transactions and append blocks to the chain.

3. Reward Distribution

Rewards are distributed after each block produced. APR is determined by your chosen lock tier:

7-Day Lock: 5% APR — short-term commitment, lowest rate
14-Day Lock: 6% APR — medium commitment, balanced rate
30-Day Lock: 7.77% APR — maximum commitment, highest rate
Auto-compound: Rewards are automatically added to your staked balance, increasing future earnings

4. Unstaking

Initiate unstaking at any time. A 7-day cooldown period begins. During cooldown, coins continue earning rewards but cannot be transferred. After 7 days, coins return to your available balance.

Slashing Protection

SynX implements slashing to protect honest stakers and maintain network integrity:

Double-signing: Validators that sign two different blocks at the same height lose a portion of their stake
Extended downtime: Validators offline for extended periods are penalized to prevent network degradation
Honest stakers protected: Slashing only affects the malicious validator's stake, not delegators

Post-Quantum Security

Unlike classical staking implementations, SynX staking is secured at every layer by post-quantum cryptography:

Validator identity: Secured by Kyber-768 key encapsulation - quantum computers cannot impersonate validators
Block signatures: Every block is signed with SPHINCS+ hash-based signatures - unforgeable by quantum computers
Reward distribution: Staking reward transactions use the same post-quantum signature stack as regular transfers

Classical PoS systems (Ethereum, Cardano, Solana) rely on ECDSA or Ed25519 - algorithms Shor's algorithm breaks in polynomial time. A quantum attacker could impersonate validators, steal staked funds, and corrupt the chain. SynX staking is immune to this class of attack.
