FAQ

Which wallets are compatible with the ankrFLOW tokens?

ankrFLOW is an ERC-20 token that is compatible with Ethereum-based wallets like MetaMask.

Are there any docs about the FLOW staking and how I set up my wallet etc.?

Yes — there is a user guide (opens in a new tab).

What is the minimum amount of FLOW I can stake?

Currently, there is no minimum amount defined for FLOW staking.

Why do I get less ankrFLOW for my 1 FLOW?

ankrFLOW only changes in value, which is why the amount of ankrFLOW you get when staking is calculated by the formula stake * exchange_ratio. The exchange ratio is calculated like this: totals_supply_of_ankrflow / (total_staked_flow + total_rewards_for_staked_flow - total_unstaked_ankrflow).

Is there a maximum amount I can stake?

You can stake at your discretion, unlimited.

How long does it take to unstake my FLOW?

You receive the unstaked FLOW after the unbonding period of 7–15 days.

How do I receive rewards?

ankrFLOW is a reward-bearing token, meaning its quantity stays the same from the moment of staking. Instead, it appreciates in value in relation to FLOW, so the redemption price of 1 ankrFLOW will grow over time because of reward accumulation.

How soon after staking will I begin to receive rewards?

ankrFLOW rewards are built into the token. Effectively, your rewards accumulate daily as ankrFLOW grows in value to FLOW.

Does Ankr charge for the service?

Ankr takes a 10% technical service fee from the staking reward to cover the provided services and operations. Your APY already includes the fee, so no need to recalculate it; you get what you see.

If I click Unstake, does my stake immediately stop accumulating rewards?

Your stake immediately stops accumulating rewards once you clicked Unstake.
