Frequently Asked Questions

Qubetics is a Layer-1 blockchain network built on the Cosmos SDK with EVM compatibility. It uses a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism where validators secure the network and delegators can stake their TICS tokens to earn rewards. Qubetics features the Chain Abstraction Protocol (CAP) for cross-chain interoperability, allowing seamless interaction with other blockchain networks.

TICS is the native cryptocurrency token of the Qubetics blockchain. It is used for transaction fees, staking rewards, governance voting, and securing the network. TICS uses 18 decimal places (similar to Ethereum) and can be traded on exchanges like MEXC or staked with validators to earn passive income. The token ticker is $TICS.

A validator is a network node that processes transactions, creates new blocks, and maintains the security of the Qubetics blockchain. Validators stake TICS tokens and run specialized hardware with high uptime requirements to participate in consensus. Delegators can stake their tokens with validators to share in the rewards without running their own node or technical infrastructure.

Staking is the process of locking your TICS tokens with a validator to help secure the Qubetics blockchain. In return for supporting network security, you earn staking rewards automatically. Your tokens remain in your wallet and under your control - you delegate voting power to the validator, not custody of your coins. This is a form of passive income in the cryptocurrency space.

You can stake TICS using mobile wallet apps (Keplr or Cosmostation), browser extensions, or directly through the JBs LFG STRONGHOLD website. The process is straightforward:

1. Download and set up a compatible wallet (Keplr, Cosmostation, or Qubetics Wallet)
2. Add the Qubetics network to your wallet
3. Transfer TICS to your wallet or buy from MEXC
4. Navigate to the staking section and select JBs LFG STRONGHOLD
5. Enter your stake amount and confirm the transaction

Detailed step-by-step guides with screenshots are available on our staking dashboard.

The minimum delegation amount on Qubetics is 1 TICS. However, you should always keep a small amount of TICS unstaked in your wallet (we recommend at least 1-2 TICS) to pay for transaction fees (gas) when staking, claiming rewards, redelegating, or performing other blockchain operations.

Staking is safe - your tokens remain in your wallet and under your control at all times. You delegate voting power to the validator, not custody of your coins. You can unstake at any time (subject to the 14-day unbonding period). The main risks to be aware of are:

• Validator downtime: If a validator goes offline, you may earn reduced rewards during that period
• Slashing: In rare cases of validator misbehavior, a small percentage of staked tokens may be slashed (JBs LFG maintains 99.99% uptime to minimize this risk)

Always use official wallet apps and verify website URLs to protect against phishing.

The base staking APY on Qubetics is 30%. After the validator commission (5% for JBs LFG STRONGHOLD), delegators earn an effective APY of approximately 28.5%. This can be increased through compounding - regularly adding earned rewards back to your staked amount increases your effective annual percentage yield.

Validator commission is a percentage taken from your staking rewards, not from your staked principal. With a 5% commission and 30% base APY, you earn 30% in rewards and the validator keeps 5% of those rewards (not 5% of your stake).

Example calculation:

• If you stake 10,000 TICS at 30% base APY
• Annual rewards before commission: 3,000 TICS
• Validator commission (5%): 150 TICS
• Your net rewards: 2,850 TICS (28.5% effective APY)

Claiming your staking rewards can be done in several ways:

• Keplr Wallet: Use the claim button in the Keplr mobile app or browser extension
• Cosmostation Wallet: Use the claim button in the Cosmostation mobile app or browser extension
• Qubetics Delegators Dashboard: Claim via the official Qubetics delegators dashboard
• JBs LFG STRONGHOLD: Claim directly through our staking dashboard

Your rewards accumulate automatically and can be claimed at any time. Remember to keep a small amount of TICS unstaked to cover gas fees for the claim transaction.

The unbonding period on Qubetics is 14 days. When you decide to unstake (undelegate) your tokens, they enter an unbonding state for 14 days before becoming available in your wallet. During this period, you do not earn staking rewards on the unbonding amount. This security measure protects the network from rapid stake movements.

Redelegation allows you to move your staked tokens from one validator to another without waiting for the 14-day unbonding period. Your tokens continue earning rewards during the transfer process. However, there is a limitation: you can only redelegate from a specific validator once every 14 days to prevent network manipulation.

Qubetics staking is supported by several popular wallets:

• Keplr Wallet: Available as mobile app (iOS/Android) and browser extension
• Cosmostation Wallet: Available as mobile app (iOS/Android) and browser extension
• Qubetics Wallet: Official wallet with browser extension support

All three wallets can be used to stake directly from their interface or connect to the JBs LFG STRONGHOLD website for staking operations.

Yes, you can stake from multiple wallets to the same validator. Each delegation is tracked separately by the blockchain. You can also stake to multiple validators from the same wallet if you want to diversify. However, staking with a single trusted validator like JBs LFG STRONGHOLD simplifies reward tracking and management.

• 47+ million TICS staked - The most trusted validator by stake volume
