Update (August 19, 2025): Withdrawal timelines and reward activation details for operator staking have been modified to reflect the latest parameters.
Staking is fundamental in blockchain—it provides economic security for networks, incentivizes reliability, and rewards active participation. Tanssi takes staking further by offering clear pathways for participants to secure decentralized Ethereum-grade appchains, earn attractive rewards, and meaningfully shape the network’s future.

Tanssi: Why Staking Matters Here
Tanssi is a decentralized infrastructure-as-a-service that lets builders launch their own sovereign, Ethereum-secured appchains in minutes, complete with decentralized sequencing, built-in compliance options, and predictable performance. It’s used across fintech, RWAs, gaming, and DeFi to replace months of infrastructure work with instant deployment.
Staking is what powers that security sovereignty. By bonding assets, stakers provide the Ethereum-grade economic security that every Tanssi appchain depends on, while ensuring the network remains decentralized, reliable, and ready for institutional-grade use from day one.
Understanding Staking on Tanssi
Goals of Staking
Ensure network security via bonded economic guarantees.
Incentivize uptime and reliability from operators and sequencers.
Foster robust, decentralized infrastructure to power sovereign appchains.
Two Ways to Stake: Ethereum vs. Substrate
Tanssi provides two straightforward staking options:
Staking with Operators (ERC-20, Ethereum) | Staking with Sequencers (Substrate) |
|---|---|
Stake ERC-20 $TANSSI (or ETH liquid staking tokens such as wstETH, cbETH, rETH) through Symbiotic vaults to help secure the Tanssi network. | Stake Substrate $TANSSI directly on Tanssi L1 to support appchain sequencing and network reliability.* |
Delegated to operators through Symbiotic vaults. | Bonded directly to sequencers. |
Rewards vary based on verified operator tasks. | Rewards are tied to verified block production. |
Both options are open to all $TANSSI holders and secure the Tanssi ecosystem, allowing you to choose the pathway that fits your strategy and preference.
*Note: If you hold $TANSSI on Ethereum and want to participate in sequencer staking, you can bridge to Tanssi’s L1 using the built-in bridge. Watch the Tanssi bridge video guide here.
Rewards: Incentives for Securing the Tanssi Network
Tanssi’s incentive model clearly rewards participants who contribute actively:
Total Inflation:Â 7.5% annually.
Reward Distribution
(based on current supply; amounts will adjust annually with inflation)
4% (~40 million $TANSSI in year 1) – Staking with Operators ($TANSSI ERC20, Ethereum)
Distributed daily based on verified operator tasks
Operator staking via Symbiotic vaults also grants Symbiotic Points
Allocation: 80% to stakers, 20% to operators
2% (~20 million $TANSSI in year 1) – Staking with Sequencers (Substrate)
Rewards tied directly to reliable block production and network performance
Allocation: 80% to stakers (this includes sequencers), 20% to sequencers.
1.5% (~15 million $TANSSI in year 1) – Tanssi Foundation
Reserved for ecosystem sustainability, continuous improvement, and network growth
Reward Activation & Withdrawals
Staking Type | Reward Activation | Withdrawal Timeline |
Operator Staking (Ethereum/Symbiotic) | Daily (starting August 21, 2025, once operator's claim is made) | up to 14 days |
Sequencer Staking (Substrate) | ~6 hours | up to 12 hours |
Important Notes:
Rewards are not fixed and may vary according to network conditions, protocol parameters, and staking participation.
The above figures apply to year 1. In subsequent years, the nominal amounts will scale slightly as inflation compounds on the increased supply.
For operator staking (Ethereum): rewards are generated daily and become available to stakers once the operator (or any participant) submits a claim transaction. If a daily claim is missed, those rewards remain pending until a claim is made — they are not lost and do not compound.
Why Early Participation Matters:
Early stakers in the native $TANSSI vault may experience different proportional rewards depending on network participation and vault capacity. Early participation also encourages a healthy distribution of stake, which enhances decentralization and strengthens the network’s resilience. Star staking at apps.tanssi.network/stake.
How to Get Started
Staking with Operators (Ethereum)
You can stake $TANSSI on Ethereum in two ways:
Through the Tanssi dapp:
Visit the Tanssi dapp and select the ERC-20 Vault.
Stake your $TANSSI tokens directly.
Through Symbiotic vaults:
Visit the Symbiotic dapp and select a vault.
Stake your ERC-20 $TANSSI or ETH liquid staking tokens (wstETH, cbETH, rETH).
Rewards are distributed based on verified operator tasks.
For Sequencers Staking (Substrate):
Bond your Substrate $TANSSI directly to sequencers on Tanssi orchestrated appchains.
Rewards are tied to verified block production.
If you hold $TANSSI on Ethereum, use this bridge to transfer before staking. Tanssi bridge video guide here.
Why Stake on Tanssi?
Contribute directly to Ethereum-backed, decentralized infrastructure.
Enjoy transparent, predictable rewards.
Influence critical decisions and actively shape the network.
