Staking Hash

The Provenance Blockchain is a public Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain, meaning that the weight of validators (someone who verifies transactions on the blockchain) is determined by the amount of staking tokens bonded to them as collateral. Hash is bonded to a validator by Hash holders delegating Hash to the validator, creating a “staking pool.”

Staking enables Hash holders to earn rewards for helping secure the network. The reward is in the form of additional Hash. This additional Hash is automatically earned from the validator, when the validator receives revenue for completing tasks on the blockchain. The revenue is split between the validator and their participating delegates. Set as a percentage, the validator has the ability to apply a commission on the part of the revenue that goes to the delegators. Visit our FAQs for more details on staking.

Two options available for staking Hash are:

• Directly on Provenance. Available to all Hash token-holders, a step-by-step guide will walk you through the process of using your wallet to directly stake Hash on Provenance Blockchain.

• Anchorage Digital. Anchorage is the institutional banking custodian of Hash holdings, and also provides institutions such as venture capital firms, hedge funds, family offices, and others the ability to stake Hash with the added benefit of regulated, secure custody. Hash holdings never leave the security of the Anchorage platform. Visit Anchorage to speak with one of their representatives.
