The Official Guide to Staking LUXA
Delegate your LUXA coins directly from your browser to secure consensus on the sovereign luxa-1 blockchain, participate in on-chain governance, and earn continuous block rewards with zero command-line tools.
1. What is Staking on LUXA Network?
LUXA Network operates on a sovereign CometBFT Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. Instead of energy-intensive computational mining, network security and transaction validation are maintained by bonded consensus validators.
As a token holder, you can delegate your liquid LUXA coins to one or more active validators. By doing so, you allocate your voting weight to honest nodes that sign blocks. In return for securing the state, you automatically earn a proportional share of on-chain block rewards and protocol gas fees.
Non-Custodial Security: Delegating your LUXA does not transfer ownership to the validator. Your coins remain locked inside the Cosmos SDK staking module on-chain under your own address. Validators never possess custody of your funds.
2. Supported Staking Wallets: Cosmostation, Keplr & Spider Vault
Whether you prefer desktop browser extensions, mobile apps on iOS/Android, or sovereign client-side vaults, LUXA Network provides native interoperability across three primary Web3 wallet solutions:
Cosmostation Wallet
Officially listed on the Cosmostation Chainlist (PR #27). Available for Chrome Extension and Mobile (iOS & Android). Delegate LUXA directly to active validators, monitor commission rates (e.g. 5%), claim accumulated block rewards, compound yields, and initiate unbonding seamlessly.
Keplr Wallet
The flagship Cosmos interchain wallet for Chrome, Firefox, iOS, and Android. Connect directly to the LUXA DEX Studio Staking Terminal with 1-click chain suggestion (`luxa-1`), automatic gas estimation, instant delegation signing, and multi-validator reward aggregation.
LUXA Spider Vault
Built from the ground up for the LUXA Ecosystem. Non-custodial, client-side cryptographic multi-asset vault supporting LUXA native coins, SHARD, and Council Seals NFTs. Perform staking and reward management natively without installing external browser extensions.
3. Step-by-Step Staking Procedure
You can stake directly from the web interface without installing any node software or typing CLI commands:
Connect Your Wallet
Open the Staking Terminal and click Connect. Supported wallets include Cosmostation, Keplr, and LUXA Spider Vault.
Select a Validator
Browse the active consensus nodes in the directory, such as the genesis validator Raqeem or verified community nodes. Inspect their voting power quota and commission rate.
Specify Amount & Sign
Click Stake, enter the amount of LUXA you wish to bond (or use 25%, 50%, MAX shortcuts), and approve the transaction in your wallet prompt.
Wait for Block Inclusion
LUXA Network produces blocks roughly every 60 seconds. Once included in a block, your delegation is active and begins earning rewards immediately.
Claim Your Rewards
Rewards accumulate continuously on every block. Use the Claim button next to each validator or the 1-click Claim All button to withdraw pending rewards to your liquid balance.
Unbonding (Withdrawal)
If you wish to unstake, click Unbond. Your tokens enter the protocol's 21-day unbonding period. Once the countdown completes, they return automatically to your available balance.
4. Understanding the 21-Day Unbonding Period
The unbonding period is a fundamental cryptographic security parameter of Cosmos SDK blockchains. On LUXA Network (`luxa-1`), it is configured to exactly 1,814,400 seconds (21 days).
Why 21 days? The unbonding delay protects the network against long-range attacks and ensures that validators cannot instantly withdraw their stake after committing malicious actions or consensus forks.
During the 21-day unbonding window:
- Unbonding tokens do not accrue staking rewards.
- Unbonding tokens cannot be transferred, traded, or used in DEX liquidity pools.
- Once the exact unlock timestamp is reached, the protocol automatically credits the coins to your liquid balance.
5. Technical Staking Parameters
All staking parameters are queried live from the consensus ledger (`/cosmos/staking/v1beta1/params`):
| Parameter | On-Chain Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Chain ID | luxa-1 | Sovereign Layer-1 mainnet ledger |
| Bond Denom | uluxa | Base micro-unit (1 LUXA = 1,000,000 uluxa) |
| Unbonding Time | 1814400s (21 Days) | Cooldown security period for unstaking |
| Min Gas Price | 0.001 uluxa | Configured node validator threshold |
| Recommended Gas Price | 0.0025 uluxa | Default average gas price for fast inclusion |
| Gas Multiplier | 1.5x | Safety headroom applied by CosmJS simulation |
| Block Time | ~60 Seconds | Consensus round block production cadence |
