Staking with ZapFi via mobile wallet (e.g. Nova Wallet & etc)

ZapFi Staking Commission Rate: 5%

One of ZapFi’s main targets is to ensure we have 100% uptime on our node validator. What makes ZapFi unique is that we are a low-commissioned-based validator that provides multiple reward program. We recently got a stronger server to host as our main node. Our main node is now located in Central Europe to optimise performance and finalization while we also have 2 backup nodes passively running as backup. One backup server being our previous Melbourne node and the other one which is a local machine we’ve built to validate.

We want what’s best for the community. This is why we decided to have the lowest commission rate allowed by the Aleph Zero Network. Check the Ecosystem tab for more info on the commission breakdown. The table below would be how we conduct our monthly pooled $AZERO giveaway to lucky nominators staking with ZapFi.

Loyal stakers are also heavily rewarded. We made sure those that are loyal and fully trust us to validate the network would receive even bigger rewards. The longer you stake with us, the bigger your stake portion would be for our monthly $ZPF airdrop. After 24 months, stake portion would return to 1x multiplier but with its latest portion. Rinse and repeat.

According to the Aleph Zero network, the minimum amount to directly nominate to a validator is 2000 $AZERO. If you happen to have less than 2000 $AZERO, you can join ZapFi’s pool but make sure funds are NOT bonded and head over here.
