| **Everstake fee**                 | 10.00%                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| **Auto-compounding**              | The APR on Injective is increasable by utilizing the restake rewards feature in the REStake application accessible via the Keplr wallet. The restake rewards feature automatically claims and adds accrued rewards to the main stake, compounding interest and increasing the total stake. This feature is safe and is supported by the Cosmos SDK module Authz.          |

| **First reward info**             | Rewards start accruing the moment you stake INJ.

| **Re-delegating activation time** | You can immediately move all or some of your staked tokens from the current validator to another one. By doing so, you won’t stop getting rewards. Note, however, that Injective mandates a 21-day waiting period between redelegations. Once you have redelegated from one validator to another, you must wait for this period to elapse before you can redelegate again |
| **Last Reward**                   | Last rewards earned before unstaking transaction.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |

| **Slashing**                      | Slashing is a punishment for validators that misbehave. Validators on Injective lose part of their stake if they get slashed. Slashing parameters can be found [here](https://docs.injective.network/developers-native/core/slashing#parameters).                                                                                                                         |

<summary><strong>How Everstake deduces validator fee?</strong></summary>

<summary><strong>Control over User's Funds</strong></summary>

Validators don't have control over users' funds in blockchain networks. Instead, they validate transactions and participate in the consensus process based on the rules defined by the network protocol. Users retain control over their funds through private keys, which are used to sign transactions and authorize transfers. Validators' roles involve confirming the validity of transactions and blocks, but they don't have the authority to access or manipulate users' funds.

<details>

<summary><strong>Rewards Distribution</strong></summary>

Rewards on Injective are distributed every block (\~0.65 sec).&#x20;

Staking rewards are not automatically compounded to the stake, but compounding can be enabled using the restake rewards feature in the REStake application accessible via the Keplr wallet.
