Important Note on Staking Services:
This table may include entries for staking services or pools (e.g., SwirlStake Pool). These are distinct from individual IOTA network validators.
- Their listed APY is typically provided by the service itself and may already account for their fees or specific reward mechanisms.
- Fields like "Next Comm.," "Voting Power," and "Next Stake (TVL)" for these services are presented differently and may not be directly comparable to on-chain validator data.
- Always visit the service's website (via the "Details" link) to understand their specific terms, conditions, and how they operate.
Understanding Our APY Estimates:
The APYs shown here are estimated for the next epoch, calculated using the latest announced validator commissions, projected network stake, and total epoch rewards. For staking services, the APY is generally as reported by the service. This helps you make informed decisions for the upcoming reward period.
Remember, all APYs are dynamic. Always do your own research (DYOR) beyond APY before staking.
New to IOTA Staking?
IOTA staking allows you to earn rewards by delegating your IOTA tokens to a validator. Validators help secure the network, and in return, you receive a share of the protocol rewards.
✅ Quick Tips:
- • Choose validators with good APY and low commission
- • Consider decentralization impact (smaller validators help the network)
- • Rewards are earned for full epochs only
- • Switch validators at epoch boundaries for best results

🎓 Why Network Decentralization Matters
⚠️ The Centralization Problem
- • 51% Attacks: If few validators control most voting power, they could manipulate the network
- • Censorship: Centralized validators could block certain transactions
- • Single Points of Failure: Network becomes vulnerable if major validators go offline
- • Reduced Innovation: Less competition leads to stagnation
✅ How You Can Help
- • Choose Smaller Validators: Look for those with <2% voting power
- • Use Our Recommendations: We highlight decentralization-friendly options
- • Check Decentralization Scores: Aim for 🟢 Excellent or 🔵 Good ratings
- • Spread the Word: Educate other IOTA holders about these choices
💡 Remember: The IOTA network has a 10% voting power cap that dilutes rewards for over-staked validators. This means choosing smaller validators often gives you better APY while helping the network! It's a win-win. 🚀
🎯 2f+1 Consensus: In Byzantine Fault Tolerance, validators controlling 67% of voting power can reach consensus even if up to 33% are malicious. When you see the threshold indicator in our table, consider choosing validators below it to improve decentralization. Learn more in our comprehensive FAQ.
Important IOTA Staking Notes & Tips
- IOTA rewards are earned for full epochs where your funds are staked with a validator or according to the terms of a staking service.
- If you switch validators before an epoch ends, you will likely not receive rewards for that partial epoch from either the old or new validator. Staking services may have different terms.
- The best time to switch IOTA validators is immediately after an epoch has concluded.
- Even if you switch at an epoch boundary, your stake with the new validator will start earning rewards for the epoch that begins after the current one completes. There's effectively a "waiting period" of one epoch for IOTA staking.
- The APYs shown are estimates for the next rewardable epoch (or as reported by services) and can change based on IOTA network conditions, total stake, and validator performance/commission changes or service updates.
- Always do your own research (DYOR) before choosing an IOTA validator or staking service. For more details, consult the official IOTA Staking Guide.
