Delegation, not custody
Validators get the right to vote with your stake but never move your funds. Your DIONE stays at your address. Undelegate anytime, subject to the 10-day unbonding period.

OBOL leaderboard signal
The OBOL leaderboard ranks validators by uptime and stake. Sort by APY in DIONE Wallet's picker, then check uptime history before committing — 70% APY at 99.5% uptime beats 100% APY at 60% uptime after slashing risk.
Early unstake costs
7% in the first month, 6% under three months, 5% before consolidation. Plan duration accordingly.
Why native in-app staking?
MetaMask + custom RPC works for sending and receiving DIONE on Odyssey Chain, but has no native staking UI. Staking through MetaMask requires connecting to an external dashboard via WalletConnect. DIONE Wallet integrates the validator picker, delegation flow, and rewards tracking directly — one app, one signature per action.
Tangem hardware integration
Stake from a Tangem-paired wallet without exporting seed phrases. Pair your card via NFC, sign delegation transactions through the card's secure element, rewards accrue to your Odyssey Chain address. Ledger and Trezor support included as well.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum to stake DIONE?
The on-chain minimum for direct delegation is 10,000 DIONE. The staking calculator on this page accepts any amount for projection purposes — actual delegation has the on-chain floor.
How long is the unbonding period?
10 days. After you click undelegate, your DIONE enters a 10-day unbonding period before becoming liquid again. This is standard for proof-of-stake networks.
What is the maximum APY?
Base reward is 1% per 30 days, up to 8% maximum annual yield. Actual yield depends on validator commission, uptime, and total network stake.
Can I stake DIONE on MetaMask?
Not natively. MetaMask handles basic Odyssey Chain transactions through a custom RPC connection but doesn't support native DIONE staking, validator delegation, or rewards tracking. DIONE Wallet does — that's why this product exists.
What happens if I unstake early?
The pre-mainnet penalty schedule applies: 7% in the first month, 6% under three months, 5% before consolidation.
Do I lose access to my DIONE if I stake it?
No. Validator delegation doesn't transfer custody. Your DIONE stays at your address; the validator gets the right to vote with your stake but never moves your funds. You can undelegate anytime, subject to the unbonding period.
