What is Bytom Staking?
Currently, users can stake a minimum of 1 Bytom with a yearly reward payout of 7.75%. Bytom can be staked on the Byone web wallet extension where you as the delegator have the freedom to assign your token voting rights to various validators on the Bytom network. Validators then use your token voting rights to verify transactions on the Bytom Blockchain.
