Delegation with Blockstream 1.0

Delegator
Blockstream Node
Sponsorship
Delegators can provide liquidity in DATA tokens to Operators so that they can stake on more Sponsorships, and earn more rewards. In return, the Operators share their earnings with the Delegators.

Stake & Earn FAQ

  • Yes! There are 5 million DATA tokens to be earned over November 2023 till January 2024 - don't miss out!

    Checkout the testnet schedules and requirements here: Blockstream 1.0 Testnets.

  • To stake your DATA tokens, you must either be a Blockstream node Operator or delegate to one.

    Operators earn DATA tokens by having stake on stream Sponsorships.

  • You'll need to create an Operator smart contract pair it with your Blockstream node(s), which can be run on a cloud hosted VPS, on your laptop or even on an idle Raspberry Pi.

    Follow the instructions here: How to become an Operator.

  • Not at all! You can earn as a Delegator that provides passive liquidity for Operators. Delegators earn by delegating their DATA tokens to Operators that in exchange share a cut of their earnings.

    Learn about delegating here: Delegators.
