A node/validator is a server that which has the aim to validate and operate for the blockchain. Every node communicates (gossips) with every other node and they share (relay) information about transactions. Depending on the type and purpose of a blockchain, one or many nodes come together to collect information and submit them into a block. This block is then proposed to other nodes to be approved, which is called as validated.

In blockchain technology, delegators/nominators are individual holders of crypto currency that want to contribute to the blockchain’s security and earn rewards. They do not operate a node but delegate their tokens to a validator of their choice and they are eligible to earn a percentage of the rewards for validating and minting blocks.

When you stake your coins on a node on a network you help to secure the network. As a reward, validators are paid by the blockchain itself, which they then share with any nominators/stakes that have chosen their validator, pro rata by the % of nominator stake.

By staking/delegating/nominating your tokens with a node from UbiquitousNodes you will enjoy the rewards for delegating your tokens.

Everything is simple. Under each of our MainNet networks there is a link to 'Stake'. This opens network specific instructions wherer we guide you (providing links where required) through the staking/nominating process.

There are no restrictions. You can stake/delegate as much as you like.

Yes, a certain percentage of the staking rewards will be charged as an operator’s fee. It will be used to cover the costs of operating the node, which includes system hardware, blockchain fees (gas) and our time.

Any time. Our validators work seamlessly 24/7/365. *Please be aware that some networks (e.g. substrate based blockchains) impose and 'unbonding' period where funds are locked (an not earning rewards) for a set period after the 'unbonding' has started. After this period has passed the coins are available to use as normal.
