Congrats with another ATH gents
Is good
Hahahahahha rip
Bad move my man
SNX is at 2.1 billion market cap
Buckle up and get ready for the ride
If snx hit 2B before ETH hit all time highs we are in for a crazy ride I think inj has a great chance of hitting 2-5B market cap in the next 8-10 months easy
Can we take this discussions to #🧠|off-topic?
Team, I have connected Metamask with Binance Smart Chain and more than 20 tokens INJ. I just took a snapshot - I have zero.
Did you transfer the correct token version?
BEP-20
I sent it from Binance to Metamask BEP-20 adress
print-screen form https://bscscan.com/
looks like it is correct
Did you add a custom bep-20 contact on metamask?
added custom Network for Binance Smart Chain (check please my print-screen upper), added token also
this one – Binance Smart Chain
Ok in that case my recommendation is for you to ask the BSC community
I personally don't use the BEP-20 toke version
Ok, I will change it to ERC-20.
Maybe you can mark somewhere about it into your platform (/my_staking page)? Becouse I really have no idea that I connected Metamask and finally it did not work.
Thank you!
Sorry, this is my mistake
damn, I was in a hurry and did not see everything clearly. Wrong as a schoolboy 😬
Did we ever fix the charting issue with the 1m vs 1M?
No worries at all. Sure, I'll tell the team to prepare some materials for this
hi
i won on the SolsticeTestnet trading competition
my twitter on competition was:
@FouziaAzeem12
my address on competition was:
0xf1F1b52ee0e26486f9929F69241a3a9Cd14Ab2f2
my question from you:
how can i get my reward?
at the end
good luck you and your dears
i will waite for your answer
Hey, Marko here. I am a core dev for tendermint. Just noticed you are using Tendermint. I wanted to double check the version you use on your network?
the current testnet is running on tendermint v0.34.0-rc6 but we're upgrading to v0.34.3 as a part of our upgrade to the Cosmos-SDK v0.40.1 release
Is there a main net? Oh perfect
Mainnet will launch in Q2 this year
Q2 can’t come fast enough I’m ready to use this platform when it’s fully live and I know a million traders ready to jump in
Is Phase 3 of Testnet likely to be coming soon?
We are working on it. It'll be out this quarter 🙂 That's all I can say
🙂
@fading quail ^
@tall plover 🙂

XD
What’s the resistance point now
Shiiett no emojis in this server
Testing $100 in the upcoming weeks
Chart based ?
Yeah my ai TA bot told me that
Named alpha
Not so sure about that
Hasn’t been wrong yet
I test injective, margin position. When was liq price, there are no margin call
This candle lower liq price
What's the mark price?
Excellent
Hello
Is it possible to add expert advisor option on testnet like mt4 platform? It can be a revolutionary harmony for dex users to create their own trading bots.
Brian shows you how to program your own basic trading bot using MetaTrader 4 and MQL4.
That would be a very cool addition
Yeah. Is this similar to the eToro feature?
We are looking into this feature
The hard part is that in a dex ecosystem people usually want to be anon, so experts would need to reveal their info
But yeah definitely looking into it
Yeah eToro allows copytrade others positions.anybody may allow this option or not.it should be their own choice.but basicly main idea would be allowing traders to create their own auto trade strategies with this option.thank you for your interest🙋🏻♂️
I reckon the best thing about auto trading would be to have high profile influencers and crypto celebrities and in house ‘celebrity traders’ to very visually share their trading experience. Maybe include voice and video links with head to heads and competitions with famous people. There are some guys on you tube that share their million dollar daily trading experience live with the audience by voice and a picture of the charts and it’s riveting viewing as they talk through what they are thinking and win and lose live. To be able to auto trade with that experience would be amazing. The danger is people use this as a platform to fool the market with underhand bets elsewhere. But with reputations on the line, this could be minimised.
It would effectively create INJ TV and make the platform feel really human and alive.
Maybe these celebrity competitions are always with small amounts where the profits get donated to charity ? So the emphasis is on fun. The influencers get extra wide audience for their blogs or upcoming projects etc so everyone wins. Maybe an interview with each person also added.
That’s a sick idea that would help get the platform really bug
Does sound really cool honestly. Especially this for promotional material. Having all of your favourite traders face off for some prize on phase three of the test net. Would attract a lot of big traders who can trade fake funds for real people to witness. Both demonstrating the quality of the platform to a wide audience in real time and potentially having the streamers stick to the platform when mainnet.
That’s a great idea let’s go injective you guys got this!
Get elliotrades bitboy crypto Ivan on tech and krowns crypto cave to do this y’all got enough money now for promotional material I believe the fully diluted market cap is almost a billion without even having a full product y’all are good on cash let’s go!!
Yeah that would actually be a really neat thing to do. Like a twitch streamer collaboration where they raise money for charity and the sponsor donates to the winner’s
But for investing 
🚀🚀
Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the testnet: Is there any testnet explorer like Etherscan? I just tried to create my testnet account and use the faucet using the UI, but there seems to be an error and I'd be interested to see where that comes from, if the wallet received something or if I maybe can call the faucet manually.
Hi
hello
Anybody may ask Cz to reply followers injective allows trading gme futures when they ask for gme utility?
👀
Can you add AMC
AMC futures
LJSE:
Hey guys I'm just wondering if there is any way to stake the INJ I'm currently holding?
Also could I have some information about how one becomes a Relayer Node and what is required?
If any admins could help me with that I'd massively appreciate it
I'm very invested in this (both monetarily and emotionally)
You can stake via pancakeswap if this helps. Otherwise, others might be of more help
Would be great if there was community engagement from the INJ team on their Discord...
You can’t stake yet. No info on staking or becoming a node out yet. You can LP on sushiswap and pancake swap too i guess
They’re very engaging and when they’re not it means they’re working on something big.
any idea when the mainnet is launching?
Q2 2021 🙂
any testnet competition?
Any plans for a incentivized testnet? I’m interested in running a validator node.
I am still not able to access the community website through Trust Wallet, please can I have some help? <@&745538043229896744>
@winged maple @kind flare
@subtle haven
The community website is not available in certain regions such as the US and China due to regulations
Conect via metamask, instal and paste in metamask your eth wallet key. Thats all
I am in the UK though
Try using a private browser and clearing your cache
Yeah I tried again and after putting in my details and pressing login, it asks me to do a captcha, when complete it brings me back to the blank login page
I cleared cookies etc.
This is through MetaMask mobile now
Sorry for creating a hassle, but ultimately if it isn't working for me others will be having the same problem so it's best to get this sorted asap
Can you try using a desktop? Or a laptop?
I have got access using my laptop now
Would you be able to explain what the work drop is? I have over 100 INJ so I should be eligible
Any updates on what a work drop is sounds interesting
Thanks!!
Basically for completing tasks in the community channel you can get token rewards
Hello admin excuse me I have deposited 200 dollars worth of Eth in the DEX I did not know I can use it now. IS there anyway that I can get my money back?
I can also send the transaction hash
I think if you use your seed phrase keys that you generated in the DEX on https://myetherwallet.com you can access it
what do you mean? you sent it to your injective testnet wallet address ...?
yes sir
DM me
Hey, I deposited some ETH thinking it was live. Can you help me?
THANKKK YOUUU!!
No problem m8
Hey guys, does INJ have plans for tokenized stocks or you are only focusing on derivatives for the foreseeable future?
I’m interested in running a validator node for testnet. Any docs about it? thanks
I would be too
From #💬・general :
Before mainnet and during Equinox Staking only known industry validators will be able to became validators as stated in the article - Currently, we have bootstrapped the network by working alongside leading validators in the space.
Thanks @vocal steppe
That is correct
For now we are limiting validator onboarding just to speed up the process of testing our network. Upon, mainnet launch we will have guides so that anyone can become a validator
nice
is there a general idea of the amount of INJ one would need for a validator?
or will that only be announced on mainnet launch
I hope I accumulated enough :p
^ i’m curious too
No details on this yet

Hello, can someone please explain how to join community page through MetaMask. I am outside USA
Anyone have experience of providing to a LP
how much profit do you usually make? and is it enough to offset typical impermanent loss
For the staking will we be able to use our staked assets to partake in the INJ ecosystem, needing to repay to unlock staked funds? I believe that’s what RAMP enables and I know FTM has it but I haven’t read anywhere about that for INJ. Would be cool to be able to stake my funds and have it as collateral to trade with.
You know the team's busy when they're all online and they're not answering 
Can't wait for mainnet
Is more validators a bottleneck for INJ? Couldn’t this be quite detrimental down the road as it gets adopted? We’d have more users (transactions) and more validators (decreasing throughput)
How would that be done? Just having some hard limit for the number of validators?
Won't as in people won't be allowed to open that validators after a certain cap? Seems like a pretty big flaw in the design for a decentralized system to have bottlenecks restricting people to to partake as they please.
@winged maple Would be also great to know what the Cosmos Stargate upgrade means for the ecosystem and injective. How many TPS would INJ have with this upgrade considering the cap you'll put on the validators?
They can partake as they please
Of course
I’m saying initially we aren’t targeting that many validators
For sure, but that still doesn’t resolve the issue I see. More users means more transactions. More users mean more likely someone wants to become a validator. Throughput being adversely affected by increased validators seems like one of the most important things a protocol like INJ shouldn’t have.
What is the solution for it? With what Rogue said would Cosmos Stargate resolve it?
Sure it won’t be an issue at the start as you’re not targeting that many initially but it’s bound to grow as users grow and that’s a problem I could see arising and I assume the team recognizes this so i’m curious as to how it’s being addressed.
Taking advantage of the increased throughput that Stargate provides (due to several improvements across the stack e.g. using Protobuf for encoding) certainly helps with throughput. The design of Tendermint is not meant to allow for thousands of consensus nodes - in fact even the Cosmos Hub (the native chain for ATOM) today has 154 validators (https://cosmos.fish/leaderboard/all). This trade off is made to allow for different guarantees, namely ensuring that the network is weakly synchronous (i.e. no forks) as opposed to Nakamoto consensus which uses PoW to ensure the longest chain (feel free to read more about the Tendermint model here https://tendermint.com/static/docs/tendermint.pdf).
Being built on top of Tendermint, the Injective Chain faces these same constraints, but we (along with many other projects built on top of Tendermint) deemed that the trade off is worth it. While this does mean that our network won't be able to support 25k+ **consensus participating ** nodes like on Ethereum, in exchange we get instant finality and a much more expressive computational environment at our disposal.
Correct me if i’m wrong but couldn’t that open up a potential attack vector against the protocol? Say a competitor is developing a rival but INJ has the first mover advantage so they gobble up a bunch of INJ tokens to open validators which could potentially noticeably slow down the network?
But beyond that there is basically hope that too many people don’t open up their own validators?
They would need a substantial stake to attack the network
Around 33% of the market cap at least
Which is next to impossible
This is a risk that any PoS based chain faces

Eric: “In terms of network hacking, we have proof of stake security to ensure that there’s exponential cost to taking over 2/3 of the network value. We also have anti sybil mechanisms to protect from spamming and sybil attacks.”
just to confirm: is staking already working? or will it take 1-2 weeks to get started?
I have some questions regarding Equinox Staking:
- For those of us who have a Ledger Wallet, is the goal for us to lend in the Ledger App, or will it be ran through a different method?
- How do we get chosen as delegators/validators?
- If we want to be delegators without a hardware setup, what do we have to do?
Also, what about Trezor wallet? If we have INJ currently in our Trezor wallet, can we migrate straight from Trezor wallet for Equinox Testnet Staking, or do we have to transfer to Metamask first? Sorry, if you've already addressed this for Trezor.
You can use Metamask which has support for hardware wallets. We are also going to have support for multiple wallets natively, including the wallets you have mentioned.
Thank you Bojan. But will that function be available for the Equinox testnet staking? Or only after mainnet?
Also, if not available for testnet staking, can we transfer our coins in batches for equinox testnet staking?
More details on this really soon :)
can i still participate on the tesnet?
What do you gain by staking in testnet? When is it going live? Sorry I'm new 😃
i believe you would get apy, i think march 20th
welcome to the inj army man 💪
Thanks glad to be here💪 💪
Testnet participation have incentives?
Hey im also new to the army 👍
So far, there was a trading competition (testnet phase 2) and soon more details will be announced for phase 3 :)
Cool
😎
so public validators can now apply? but no public staking on testnet yet, correct?
seems so
Correct
I already have validators up and running on both Kusama and Polkadot, is already possible to do so on INJ?
see announcements channel for a form where you can apply
When is the right time to the next x10
Any estimation on when delegators can stake inj?
Q2 2021
INJ 🚀
Is there any documentation on the end points for calling documented apis? I don't see any end point url discovery in injective documentation
This feature is not live yet
thank you. So, any one who wants to call/test apis outside dev team will then have to wait until this flushes out? If so, any timeline on when we might be able to do this?
Yes for the first question. And there is no timeline yet, but its coupled with the release of our mainnet [docs, api, ...].
When community validators that applied last week will receive an answer about acceptance?
I was wondering this as well...no response yet so I send in again
thank you! appreciate the help
Hello everyone!
Whats the minimum INJ quantity to do stacking with? Thanks
5 INJ
Awesome, thanks
Hey, i just commented on tomorrow's phase of genesis (based on Eric's tweet today). That doesn't necessarily mean that tomorrow is also the equinox staking correct? I'd assume that if it was, he'd say so explicitly?
So equinox staking is tomorrow?
I believe the start of it, yep
equinox staking for the public who are not validators, tomorrow? or just validator staking on the testnet first?
Staking is when you delegate your coins to those validators
That's why the first step was onboarding validators, now it's time to stake!
Staking lets you receive INJ in return. When you stake with a relayer node I think you get USDT in return as well? Not really sure how that works but the fees are distributed to those stakers and are accrued in tether. Not sure how long you have to stay staked for
so we need to find out, how long the lockup period is for and what thr return will be per unit committed
Likely coming out tomorrow when we get to start staking
hopefully posted in simple terms
No doubt it will be
what will be the apy on staking?
I've read somewhere about 5%
is that true?

You’re supposed to be able to perform tasks to achieve higher rewards in testnet staking. Mainnet APY isn’t public yet I don’t think
i see, thanks.
This baseline APY will dynamically adjust based on network demand as well as as the number of staking participants, so all numbers displayed in the calculator should be taken only be taken as an example. written in the Equinox release article 🙂
Yep, i might've not read it properly lol
anyways thanks for the clarification, always feels good to hop in the discord server and the team is available to available to answer your queries
thanks
Will staking be available for users before mainnet is launched then? Sorry if that’s such a silly question
Yes of course 🙂
Starting today? 🚀👀
Where can I find instructions about how to stak INJ
you’ll know when we know
Got it 👍🏼
In the mean time, stack INJ so you have enough to stake
Can I stak INJ?
We will have testnet staking
Exciting times
Perfect thanks Mirza
Yea its quite confusing when he keeps saying staking at mainnet

is the validator list up please? Wondering if I can participate
How can other validators join the testnet please
They can join upon mainnet release
There is only 10 validator selected ?
May I PM you, Mirza?
Please email us
whom c/o?
where can we find out information about the staking rewards?
we shall announce

Can the community run validator nodes?
Has INJ implemented any anti-ddos methods? Lately been a lot of ddosing going around. A friend recently mentioned how people could potentially place high limit orders and cancel orders to take up transaction capacity.
I see the difference between maker order and take orders but i’m not sure if maker orders could potentially get congested that would affect take orders.
Yes, upon mainnet launch
@soft dome @subtle haven @hollow tulip 👀
Same case as most blockchains, if one node is down due to ddos, people can connect to another node. That's why we setup the incentivize for people to host as many nodes as possible!
Yeah for sure, but most blockchains have gas fees that make it slightly harder. INJ has none for sending, nor for cancelling.
Curious what would happen if people placed limit orders in and cancelled them? Do those remain off-chain until they can execute?
Is there any news about the beginning of the stake?
just that it’s soon
@subtle haven 👀
There is gas of course, it’s necessary to prevent Sybil attacks. The key distinction is that gas on our application is paid for by transaction relayers (in a meta-transaction fashion) as opposed to directly by the user.
That’s my point though, the user could do what I said because they don’t pay anything. I’m just wondering about the second part of what I said.
Limit orders go on-chain (in our decentralized orderbook). If someone placed limit orders and then cancelled them, that would be fine - the relayer would pay gas for those transactions however (which will still be cheap). Different relayers will have different policies for what rate limits/“free” transaction limits they may want to enforce for their exchange service provision, which users can choose to accept and happily use (which will be 99%+ of users) OR if they want they can send the transactions directly without going through a relayer which would cost them gas, but save them on the 40% cut of the exchange transaction fee.
For sure. So enough addresses placing in orders and cancelling could congest the relayer node? Since they would have to process both.
But if that one is congested, can just go to another or place it in yourself
Could relayers blacklist addresses?
Well the flow is user -> relayer -> Injective Chain, so rather than the relayer being congested, it’d be that the relayer would be sending a lot of transactions to the Injective Chain (which cost transaction fees) or drop/ignore the transaction requests
Yes, they’re free to determine their own policies
Blacklist seems less likely (unless they’re facing some typical DDOS), rather relayers could enforce a transaction size minimum/spread percentage size delta (e.g. no orders for 1/10000 the current price since those will never get filled), API rate limits, etc. - these will all be up for individual relayers to decide!
yeah i would hope blacklist isn’t a go to thing unless it’s bc of an attack attempt. but happy to hear there is something to be done to stop it
come mainnet there’s almost no doubt that’ll be one of the things that’s attempted on the chain, and to the website. i’d probably grab cloudflare now if you haven’t yet. although people do look for ddosed websites sites to buy in (clear fud).
Has the public validators activity started? I submitted my application last week, but did not receive any reinstatement.
I am also waiting...have not heard anything yet
ok, thanks@sand kestrel
To clarify — equinox staking is open to the public or no?
Claim, re-stake rewards, and also un-stake (+0.5% APY Boost)
this is a nghtmare for the stakers imo
automatic compounding rewards should be a thing..
manual get rewards and re-stake is not possible with the gas fees
you are not paying any gas on re-staking since you are staking on the injective chain - and there are no gas fees on our chain. You are paying gas only when transferring your ERC20 token balance on our chain since its an Ethereum transaction.
k cheer s
how long will testnet staking be active? until mainnet launch?
Guys, any feedback about the onboarding of community validators?
UI glitch?
Clicked connect wallet, then three bars, then clicked connect wallet again to close it, then clicked 3 bars to close markets.
Opens up like behind connect wallet lol
Oof
bug bounty money 
I'll fix it, thanks
@kind flare can you share with us any news about the onboarding of community validators?
You can read Mirza's answer about the same question here 🙂
@kind flare I'm talking about this:
Due to an unprecedented surge in demand we have decided to open up a form to allow our general community members to also indicate their interest in becoming validators on Injective.
You can access the validator interest form here: Link
https://blog.injectiveprotocol.com/equinox-staking-public-validator-onboarding-begins/
And the link from the announcements channel: #📰・announcements message
.
please read here
community validators will be able to join upon mainnet release
I got it. So the focus of the community registration is to the mainnet launch. Thanks!
If you want to became a validator yes, otherwise I wouldnt say so, there will be much more that the community can do
Yes. I'm waiting also for the stake release.
@winged maple ban ^^
Hi, so reading through some of this stuff - the only way to stake is if you are a validator?
Any way for the token holders with a few INJ to stake or no?
5 inj to stake when staking is out sir
Ok thanks. Where did you find the info? I looked at a few docs and couldn't find this
FYI, there is a typo on the staking page. Under Injective Twitter, it says "Keep up to date with every step WITH make" instead of "WE make". <@&739555074879258704> <@&745538043229896744>
do i have to like pay gas everytime i claim and restake my rewards/stake it to different validator
or just one time when i transfer my erc20 to injective chain
Just one time
When is staking available
Early March


hi all, I've read all the IP blogs but cannot find a link to the site that allows me to stake/delegate my INJ. Would really be grateful to anyone who can point me to the right site for this
This is not yet available, but soon
UI bug on https://staking.injective.network
lol that was my fault


yea that was my fault i typed in wrong site
Np
how long will it take to bond + unbond?
our UnbondingTime will be 3 days
Is it going to be the same on the mainnet?
hi all, do we receive a confirmation email after being put on waiting list? I entered my infos on staking waiting list form but havent received anything. cheers !
understood, so will receive an email only once the staking is available?
Yup
when will we know we are off the waitlist?
This month
👍
Is there a risk to staking like impermanent loss?
the risk for staking is with malicious validators where your staked tokens get slashed
I have registered for the staking . Will I get email if I am selected for Validator ?
will we be alerted for our opportunity to stake on testnet via direct email or do we just have to wait/see in telegram/discord?
If you joined our waitlist you will get an email
Where’s a good place to read more on this?
would just google it, should come up with some examples
believe a bunch of eth got slashed lately
afaik, all PoS slashings to date appear to have been misconfiguration
rather than intentional malicious behaviour
one edge case to add is slashing & jailing for missing too many oracle votes on terra (blockdaemon and others)
yeah i haven’t seen anything intentional either, but that almost makes it more important to pay attention to because human error can cause it
I haven't received email yet
No one has
You dont need a confirmation email
Hey,I keep reading docs from INJ, but cannot find basics: where is bridge from eth inj to mainnet inj?
I make educational blockchain video's, and also run validator nodes, and some other stuff.... Hoping to do some video's on Injective, but need to navigte and learn before producing content.\
Hey, just like I mentioned in Telegram, documentation about the staking competition will be out once we release our staking competition. More and more documentation will be released as we approach mainnet.
unsure of if I caught your message. I left the channel. seemed it's a ghost channel, and admins were only there to stop fud and tell people how to buy tokens..
Not really any use to me. If this is the place to be, I'll stay here... But, how do I stay informed, and up to date? Is there a list I need to get on?
#📰・announcements is where things are getting announced, also you can follow us on @InjectiveLabs on twitter for any updates we have.
already following on twitter since early fall sometime. Thank you. Have a good one.
Appreciate the quick and transparent answers
no worries, anytime
hey👋 I run a Cosmos validator - how do I get involved in the testnet to prepare for validating on injective's main-net?
is the staking live ?
it is not
It's live for validators
wen gibs?
😂😂
Why you don’t clarify this in the beginning.
When you said is live, all of us thinks that staking is live, later you make new sentence. And confusing was there.
What the team think about the right time for drop staking?
When will be the right time and how you will decide to do it?
How important are the investors for you?
@subtle haven
Delegation to validators is still scheduled for Q1, nothing changed there
That’s great, but in the beginning we had confused. However, do you follow the market news, competitors experience, the good movement, the bad movement in their history? This can be extremely useful for inj.
Also did you compare last two months movements from Injective side to the whole market?
Maybe we can change something to be better in future.
It’s just a advice to look around.
We can learn from everywhere.
It’s important to have own plan, but sometimes our plan can be changed from the conditions.
All people, supporters, fudders, investors can learn us.
Take advices and be better than before.
@tall plover so do you recommend launch something what is not finished with potential bugs in the code? I guess you see it from an investor perspective and not from an tech site. But I guess you should know if they launch with bugs and there is an attack and people lose a lot of money that the price will drop way faster.
Better safe than sry and the price will appreciate by its own over time.
Agree, everything must be secure.
I’m saying something else. The team must learn how to follow the market trend also, not just their plans. They must have plan B.
I’m sure they will learn some lesson, this is their first big project. So they have many rooms to learn and grow like professionals.
What’s needed now?
They must see the biggest picture. Yes we have roadmap, plan for staking and mainnet. But the market and investors moving fast. The team must catch part of the investors interest and market needs.
For example they hint us about nfts. If they work on it and make something and big for nfts side before staking, after that staking and big partnerships, after that mainnet. The community will be happy, investors will be satisfied, Injective will follow the market trend and will react like very good coin, not like now when we can’t hold 20sats or 12dollars.
Now someone will tell me “we don’t care about the price”, no, you should care about the price. The price is the mirror of your work, the price mean the trust in the project. The price mean the people behind you.
It’s a factor. That’s all.
Please don’t get my comment like a shit. It’s a good advice for biggest picture. I don’t want to make no one sad. Just want to help. The advices are good. All in this comment is mirrored of the community feelings and the right position of the situation.
If the team can’t get it, it’s sad.
They must hear the others opinion. In this world have more than one right plan. So hope I help you to realise some points, maybe you miss them before.
@subtle haven please read above. It’s important.
9 women can’t bring a child to the world in one month is a quote that comes to mind, some stuff takes time even when the world moves fast around you and in IT rushing means less testing, lower quality and security. The tradeoff is a lower price short term with a certain rise vs higher price short term to drop of a cliff and never recover
Hey all! I converted some ETH into INJ and tried to send it to the wallet on the injective testnet exchange. Anyone know if I just sent this into the abyss or how I can access it?
Log in with your seed phrase from your created wallet from the exchange on https://myetherwallet.com, your tokens will be there
Good way to put it
Thank you!
No worries:)
It literally says transfer erc20 tokens
So no its via metamask and eth chain i assume
Nope only works with ERC-20
If you hold INJ on BSC, you will need to convert it to ERC-20 on Binance
ok got it.
hi, I was told by Mirza from telegram to report a staking problem here.
https://blog.injectiveprotocol.com/injective-equinox-pre-staking-launch/
- Following above walk thru, at step 5) after clicking the unlock button, the popup Metamask freezes, e.g., perpetual pinwheel in the center of the pop up window
- Clicking the refreshing button on my brave broswer, the lock is still on, and nothing happens to the Metamask popup window.
are you able to confirm the approval tx in metamask? or does it freeze before you can?
I connected wallet w/o a problem, and then clicked the "sign" button without a problem
I can try again if you want me to do so
have you checked the status of your transaction? from the Activity tab in metamask?
thanks, wait a sec.
if you click the transaction, you can then click to view on etherscan. you can link the tx here or DM me, and i can help you out
looks like I can't loggin metamask on my brave browswer now, and I've checked metamask on my phone, no transction under Inj (in ERC20 network)
I have connected my metamask to both the staking and the hub website, would that be a problem?
no. what is your wallet address? i can find the tx from that
0x71f7d4aaf05498006e44e88ed2e854750f7aa35c
it looks like your approve transaction did not make it to ethereum
oops, could you tell which step did I do wrong?
after refreshing and clicking on unlock, what happens?
also it looks like you don't have any ETH in your wallet. you need it to pay for gas for the transaction
it says (in a little red box right bottom of the browswer) "invalid parameters: must provide an eth address "
that may be the real issue
OIC, I didn't know that.
get some in there and let's see if that fixes this
it will be pre-staking until real staking is released, at which time you will have to perform more actions to delegate your tokens to validators
7 days is just the token lock period for pre-staking (you won't be able to withdraw the prestaked amount for 7 days)
oic, each time I need to pay eth gas fee, yes?
oic
you need to pay eth gas every time you perform a tx on ethereum
Please tell the "staking" on the https://community.injectiveprotocol.com doesn't make any yield, yes?
it is unrelated to pre-staking
I don't have many inj tokens atm, so pre-staking and paying gas fee doesn't make much sense. I will pass this. Thanks Michael!
The only ETH tx we have to do is depositing it right? Lol
so after the 7 days the staking will continue or does it stop then?
hi boss
It’ll continue. 7 day is the lockup period
thanks
Figured, ty
hey 👋
If you withdraw before the end of equinox you won’t receive any staking rewards though since this is an incentivized testnet
is the base 15% going to continue or will that be reduced?
epic
nice! wish i had more INJ right about now
same lol
15% also isn’t the actual APY on mainnet right👀
and we’re gonna have to withdraw and deposit on mainnet when that staking comes?
Mainnet details will be up before the release.
Quoting the answer I wrote on Telegram:
"The staking competition is part of the incentivized testnet. After the competition is done, you will get your rewards and then, once we launch mainnet you will be able to stake again 🙂 You will have to pay the fees twice, and imo its a small price we all have to pay before we enjoy the benefits our protocol will bring to the world!"
For sure. So we have to complete tasks on the ETH mainnet, like undelegating and redelegating?
& proposing/voting?
Tasks based rewards are for our incentivized testnet only.
ah ok, so this is pre-staking on eth, then equinox staking is the incentivized staking on inj chain?
correct
and is the transfer from pre-staking on eth to incentivized staking on inj chain seamless or will we have to do another tx?
seamless
beauty
indeed
alright one last thing, this undelegating and redelegating to main also isn’t gonna cost gas ye?
nope, that happens on our chain
if by sign you mean set allowance, then yes xD
yes haha
Will the dashboard show how much INJ is earned periodically or do we find out after the initial 7 days?
Since for now you only have the Base APY, you can check how much INJ monthly you are going to get on the "Stake" page (same place where you staked) on the https://staking.injective.network
There, you can also find how much maximum per month you can get if you do all of the tasks (which we will give more details soon).
ok thank you.
APY is low? lol
Yes 15%
You would have hated the baseline of 3% then lol
When is mainnet?
Q2 2021
In the event of a hack on the contract, is there any insurance in place?
Hi guys. Happy to be here. I have a few questions regarding prestaking / staking:
- The rewards are distributed at the end of the equinox staking?
- The tasks will be live after this 7 days lock up period?
- We can consider that we already started staking? In terms of rewards. Or it will start counting after the 7 days lock up period?
Thanks 🙂
- Yes,
- We will announce details for the tasks soon,
- Yes!
Rewards start counting after the 7 day lockup?
- Yes,
- We will announce details for the tasks soon,
- Yes!
@kind flare for how long is equinox staking live?
No, they start counting from the moment you stake. You only increase your APY from the tasks you are going to make.
Details on this will be announced soon.
Thanks a lot!
Hi! I am trying to setup metamask so I can send INJ from Binance to the wallet. What is the Token Contract Address I need to fill out when adding a custom token to metamask to add INJ?
Thank you! The other fields are not automatically filled in as is stated in the guide - am I doing something wrong? haha
it’s ur eth receive address
when depositing
deposit erc20 token
so would I send INJ tokens from binance to my ETH metamask address?
Yes
yes, make sure you have about $50 of ETH on that address as well
yikes gas fees are that high at the moment?
Yep. Sadly.
one tx for signing (about $10) and one for depositing (about $35)
are there any "off-times" where it tends to be cheaper?
lol ok - so I'd need ETH in metamask to receive the INJ?
to deposit it in the contract yeah you would
No. But you need to send INJ on the platform
You can send INJ to metamask without having any ETH there
Then would it cost about $100 to transfer from binance to meta and them from meta to staking it?
I see
From binance the fees are:
1.6 for inj and 0.008 for eth
I see - and then how does the depositing portion work?
Sorry for all the questions, really living up to my profile picture here
So I send from binance to metamask this is roughly $10
where does the $35 come from that Illustrious mentioned?
Nope. He mentioned about something else
signing on https://staking.injective.network
and then delegating would cost ab $35
aaaah I see
The fees 10$ and 35$ are from metamask to INJ platform
yea
got it so ~$10 to transfer and ~$50 to stake
Nope. 50 in total from metamask to injective platform
Gotcha, thank you both so much!
Haha metoo! I had no idea they upped APY to 15%
Do we have insight into what drove that decision?
I could give you my guess 😁
- The fees to start staking are so high and people would not be interested to stake for a reward of 3% apy
- There was a misunderstanding regarding the date for testnet staking. People thought it would start sooner and it didnt.
So the new apy should make everyone happy.
And we have the tasks to boost the apy, which will be awesome. Can’t wait for it!
Got it, great!! Does this affect tokenomics at all or does this mean there's simply more distributed to the community?
The tokenomics should be the same in terms of percentages but more tokens should get in the circulating supply. Which actually is not a bad thing.
But i might be wrong here. Someone else should answer your question
.
please check here @chrome wadi
one other member had the same issue
do u have eth for gas?
You need eth in your wallet to pay the gas fee
Once I stake coins now, can I add more coins to stake later?
Yes
I don't know why yours is asking for gas fees, mine don't
but u will have to pay fees again
it sure does add up lol

APY made it worth it
too real
so in other words, we have to transfer our INJ from trezor wallet to metamask then to INJ staking station?
THANK YOU!!!

Does INJ staking automatically compound or is there any action required on our end?
To follow up on that, what does payout frequency look like?
I get an error trying to connect my metamask to my trezor with the following message: Unable to claim interface.
Some other software on your machine might be using the trezor already. See if you have anything else open (besides your browser) and close it
is there an average gas price per 1000 injective or 10,000 inj? just to know how much eth I will need to purchase. Thanks!
how long does the transfer take? it's been over 10 minutes.
it depends on the gas price you paid for your transaction
was i able to set the gas? it didn't ask me?
if you go back to metamask and look under "Activity" you can click into the tx and speed it up. you have to click "advanced" to explicitly set it
can i do that now while it's still running to ransfer?
yes
does anyone have an understanding of how injective can afford to pay out 15% and how this is sustainable? If I had 100k injective and staked them, those returns seem too good to be true. I must be missing something.
15% is APY. the competition does not run a full year
APY is an annual (yearly) return
Does INJ staking automatically compound or is there any action required on our end?
@drowsy hull can we get an answer for this?
To follow up on that, what does payout frequency look like?
@drowsy hull and this 😁
payouts will occur at the end of the staking competition
it worked! so then I paid the fastest gas fee for staking and now it's still confirming. does this take a while, even after we pay the fastest gas fee?
if you had to speed it up, you might have to refresh the staking dashboard to see it reflected
I was under the impression that this staking yield was going to continue with mainnet as well.
it is for the testnet staking competition
it's not working Michael?
can you send me the url to the transaction on etherscan?
if not, your wallet address?
lol, then you'd know my wallet i guess!
you can DM it
let me DM you now...
i will allow it
payouts will occur at the end of the staking competition
@hollow tulip if it’s at the end, how can we claim rewards, add to stake and un stake for apy boost?
restaking is a task for the competition that will give you an overall APY boost, but does not lead to compound rewards on your stake. the augmented APY applies only to your deposited stake from the ERC20 INJ token
Quote from medium article: “Claim, re-stake rewards, and also un-stake (+0.5% APY Boost)
Rewards are not going to be automatically staked, so you must take some time to re-stake your rewards.”
How can i claim and re-stake my rewards if the rewards are given at the end of the staking period?
@hollow tulip 👆
Hey, that task is for delegating your stake to Validators, which will be available soon 🙂 And you wont have to pay any fees for it.
so i guess you're saying that during the pre-staking period (before Equinox testnet staking tasks), there is no need to re-stake, etc.
nope, you dont need to do that
during the pre-staking staking period, we just enjoy some nice APY for doing nothing.
I don’t get it. It says claim rewards and restake. But i cant claim rewards because they are given at the end of equinox. So how can i improve my api?
It doesn’t say anything about delegating. It says claim and re-stake rewards. How can i claim them if they are not given?
we are in the pre-staking period at the moment. details for how to perform followup actions will be released later (soon)
Ok. Thanks! Looking forward to it
Hi !
I have weird difficulties to connect my wallet at stacking.injective.network
- either I CAN connect my default Metamask address (where I have no INJ)
- either I CANNOT connect via Metamask when specifying my Ledger address (where my INJ are waiting to get stacked for a long time)
Note: I could stack other currencies directly from my Ledger via Metamask ?!?
Anybody an idea how I can solve this ?
@hollow tulip can take a look
does this help?
Well thanks for the quick reply ... it actually doesn't help much
The article basically describes the steps I've performed to connect my Legder wallet with my Metamask account
Any further suggestion is welcome 🙂
if it doesn't work, you may have to transfer the INJ from your ledger to your metamask (default address) first, since you are able to connect that
Yep that's my backup solution ...
... in the meantime I got it fixed : Ledger got to sleep (screen saver mode) and I didn't see the "Sign request" pop on the screen of my device
Signing in via Metamask is not enough (witch is a positive thing)
It should be fine by now.
So once again the issue was sitting on the sofa 🙂
Thanks for you concerns anyway 👍
Hi guys, just to be sure before doing anything dumb : the task is to stake real INJ on the testnet to get real INJ, right ? 👷
Yes
It sounds nice. Thanks Dyslan
I have metamask loaded with eth and inj on my android phone. When I tap on inj "connect to wallet", nothing happens
I have metamask loaded with eth and inj on my android phone. When I tap on inj "connect to wallet", nothing happens
Will we be required to pay gas from the testnet staking over to the production?
You may need to use chrome ext. From desktop.
@tired tide
I only have metamask on android phone
set it up on pc sir
Does inj plan on staying on the eth Blockchain? I'm seriously getting tired of eth gas fees. They are way too much.
eth future of money man... how can you say that 😄
transact 5 dollars pay 100 dollars in fees
INJ is not on ethereum. It's runs on it's own chain
Ah ok
the INJ token is currently an ERC20 version, but when you move to the injective chain u convert
@kind flare i need you help with connecting my metamask wallet ... i have currently the inj on the binance chain network ( BEP20 ) ... how do you transfer it to ERC token ?
If you send it to your binance account, you can choose to withdraw it as ERC20
the withdraw screen will show you this
Hello Michael ,
@thank you for your help , i have done exactly that . Thought there was a better way of doing it ...
Hello, when trying to stake.. the blue [confirm] button from metamask stays light blue and uncllickable... any ideas?
hmm the fee.. does it have to be ETH or will it deduct it from the INJ ?
ETH
on Metamask
this happens because your wallet does not have an eth balance. you need eth to pay the gas fee
i see... so either swap (and pay 1000% fee for the swap ;)) or get some ETH on the account?
the latter sounds better for sure
😉 thanks for the reply btw
Do we know how much inj in total has been staked till now ... it would be nice market that !!!
You can track it here. Check the Token dropdown
1,156,781.95 INJ tokens currently pre-staked
Thanks !!! Thats great news !!!
any plans to stake directly on an exchange ?
not for the testnet staking competition
Can someone from the team please tell how the staking on community.injectiveprotocol.com/ works?
Here is a detailed guide:
Thanks! sorry, I didn't meant the pre-staking, I meant on the community"Injective Hub">>my staking, it scans the metamask wallet for INJ, but when we stake INJ in Injective, there is zero INJ on the Metamask, which means, you can't earn reward on the "Injective Hub".
Am I correct? And it is not clear how the Injective Hub reward system work.
That's correct. They're not the same, and the trade-off you described is right
oh, thanks!
Could you tell where to find info on how the Injective Hub reword system works?
You can try asking in general. This channel is for the equinox staking
oic, t hanks~
What’s the difference between pre-staking and staking?
staking is not here yet (stay tuned). pre-staking allows you to take the first step
So pre staking and staking on equinox is the same thing!
?
Or pre staking is for equinox and staking is for mainnet?
yes
Ok! Thanks!
how long do i have before 15% apy for prestaking runs out
waiting for when gas fees are lower
Link not secure when using iOS device to follow link.
It is the link from the announcement site, you can use the same link from over there
So in order to pre stake you have to:
- sign the transaction $11
- confirm staking $25
Around $40 in fees to prestake
That is correct
Sure. What’s up?
I have 230 INJ @5-15% yield would make 0.5 INJ in 7 days ($6)
Invalid parameters: must provide a ethereum address
Do you have ethereum in your metamask?
I thought i did intrude to stake twice before this & it just never happened
Would that use my eth even if it didn’t process if so no lol
You need the eth in the address to pay the gas fee
I’m guessing not enough eth then
Mirza does it use your eth even if the transaction don’t finish?
It was taking a long time waited over 10 mins each time
I will recommend staking 1k and above
If you don't have up to 1k buy more
To get good reward
Depends on the gas price
Close, you need to sign( pay gas fee) and than stake ( pay gas fee)
But you can adjust gas price in metamask but you have to wait a long time
Apologies I’m new to this
I signed when I loaded my wallet to the pool
So basically if I wait longer the gas fee might be less & the transaction might lose
Load*
As I have 33$ of eth
Yeah can unfortunately go in both directions but you can wait and check it on this site
Should be enough but might take a while
It’s based on how much load is on the eth network
On the gas station says 172 to send it standard
Is this my problem I haven’t got enough?
Try metamask, if you have not enought eth for fee metamask will tell you about it
Metamask ain’t said anything
It’s already on the Injective staking site
Just won’t let me stake when I push stake I get (Invalid parameters: must provide a ethereum address
Did the transaction process?
If it did not process it means you need more
If it did process it means it'll take a few mins to show up
I had 53eth now I have 33
transfers cost more gas than approves
Apologies had $53
you may not have enough
Now $33
If you didnt have enough gas it would take hours before miners validated your transaction on the block, clearly not the case now
do you have a pending transaction for it in metamask Activity?
Do you have a transaction
Can be that gas prices are higher by now since they're given dynamically
Perhaps, i dont know for sure
On eth scan it says transactions approved?
do you have 2 or 1 transactions?
there's 1 for approve/unlock, and should be another for the stake button if it worked
Hi Michael on meta mask it says it’s approved
DM me your transaction hash please and I'll take a look
$13 it cost to send to the pool
you can try refreshing the page to see if it's reflected there
Actually 3 we also need to send it to the metamask
only if it wasn't already on metamask (if you didn't buy on a dex)
Just getting the hash transaction thanks Michael
I’ve been waiting 17 minutes for “staking confirmation.” Any advice?
have you tried speeding up the tx?
in metamask under Activity, you can click Speed Up on the tx
Just went through!
nice!
Can you tell me, what are the risks of staking on equinox at this point? Are any type of network hacks insured?
This was a test run with small amount...
the deposit manager contract has been audited. our contract is a very simple one so there isn't really much reason to worry.
👍🏼
is delegating live? can we stake now?
pre stake
Man those gas prices are ridiculous. The fees alone are almost as much as my INJ is worth. 😱
Hi, Just staked , where can I find the tasks to earn INJ tokens
Hey guys can someone help me?
I'm currently at point 7, https://blog.injectiveprotocol.com/injective-equinox-pre-staking-launch/ but even if the transaction status on the ethscan is success, the page showed me and error (json response that I was not able to read cause it disappear) and doesn't allow me to continue (plus the INJ are still on my wallet)
So I successfully staked my INJ but then when I relog in it says I have nothing staked and that I haven't even approved the transfer of ERC20 tokens (which I have done and paid for 3 separate times).
Does anyone have any idea if we can expect 15% to be continued indefinitely when Mainnet/staking goes live?
@winged maple @hollow tulip @soft dome @subtle haven any idea what happened?
Probably the same reason the above are having problems lol
Mainnet apy isn’t known. The 15% will be baseline for the incentivized staking too
I see the same thing, thought was not an issue till you approve the first transaction
Everything is okay
Give us a moment
Just confirmed
Your funds are safe
It’s a slight frontend issue
Will be fixed soon
yeah i was just kidding about the stealing, thanks for letting us know 
thanks for the quick reply, could please help with my issue as well?
Urs is probably apart of that frontend issue
Yeah that's for sure, otherwise my INJ will not be on the wallet anymore

Fix is being deployed now - should be up and working again in a few minutes.
The issue was from us exceeding our monthly capacity issue with our EVM RPC API provider - we've patched it now, so things should work fine soon!
oh i just experienced this issue
Fix is deployed! https://staking.injective.network/stake/
i hit the button twice and made 2 confirmations, is the 2nd confirmation is going to be gone
would i need to hit approve transfer of erc20 tockens into injective for a 3rd time?
nevermind i refreshed the page
Hi, I can't seem to access the staking website from the browser on the MetaMask app, it says "ERR_CLEARTEXT_NOT_PERMITTED", anyone else have have the same issue?
@soft dome @winged maple I can confirm that my initial issue is now solved (costed me $9 more for the transaction (f**k gas fees), but at least after the fix it works), thanks for the quick fix, well done 💪
I can access it fine from other browsers, just seems to be the MetaMask one so I'm struggling to stake from my phone, or can we currently only stake from a computer?
For now, you can only stake from your desktop web browser with the Metamask extension - we will look into compatibility with the Metamask app!
It worked on the metamask app for me?
For now, you can only stake from your desktop web browser with the Metamask extension - we will look into compatibility with the Metamask app!
@soft dome that would be great
Thanks, will give it another go later on a computer then!
Me too. Used the app's browser
Does prestaking automatically send the funds off eth
yes, you deposit and lock your funds in a contract on L1. You can withdraw your funds in 7 days, but you forfeit your rewards if you withdraw before the staking competition ends.
What happens if you withdraw just a part of what you are staking?
Because we don’t know when the competition will end
I read the walk through guide on the INJ blog and it's showing fees of $11 and $25 to approve the smart contract for staking. Are these fees correct? Seems so expensive
@mortal crescent always depends of ETH Network
Those are Ethereum network fees.
No withdrawals, even if you do a small withdrawal you are not getting the rewards.
Details on this soon.
When the pre-stake finishes, and the equinox stake starts, will we have to unstake INJ and then re-stake? That’ll be a lot of eth gas
Yes we will need to unstake, aprove on mainnet and stake on mainet. I guess 3 transactions
Thankfully It seems that fees on Injective are lower than other staking project on ethereum, is that because of L2?
Replying to
@InjectiveLabs
Hi if I will stake all my inj now. Will this smart contract be used for the next phase of staking? Or we will have to widthdraw and stake again?
No withdrawals, even if you do a small withdrawal you are not getting the rewards.
@kind flare what if i withdraw a small portion after the 7 days?
Does anybody know what APY will look like for staking on Mainnet?
Hello, can get an advice?
I staked some INJs yesterday. and today, I was trying to stake more but it failed with the message saying monthly capacity exceeded. and even though it failed, the transaction fee was deducted and it looks fine in my wallet
can anybody help?
same problem did exist yesterday @soft dome fixxed it
No withdrawals, even if you do a small withdrawal you are not getting the rewards.
@kind flare what if i withdraw a small portion after the 7 days?
No rewards.
Than why the lock-up period of 7 days? It makes no sense
oops, boss what's that channel for?
please tell
is there a lock up period?
discussion related to the price of INJ or trading INJ
@kind flare or @weary light, may I PM you?
Hello guys.I would ask for some help to stake my inj after installing metamask but reading topic will help me to solve it i guess
Yup plz let us know how we can help @lofty palm
@hollow tulip can also connect with you
I installed metamask.Should i browse staking.injective.network via metamask browser 😬 @hollow tulip
Mobile
It directs me to staking.injective.network correct it seem working on mobile🤔
I think i have to transfer my inj to metamask from binance ?
It isn't tested on mobile, but it might work. But yes you need your INJ in your metamask wallet to start. You can follow the walkthrough steps here: https://blog.injectiveprotocol.com/injective-equinox-pre-staking-launch/ let me know if you run into any problems
How can i fund eth into my metamask? Buying from binance and transfer🤔
yes
https://twitter.com/W_of_YYZ/status/1373024268443877385 mr Fork, check this out, how to saveeth gas fee
Thank you let me check
I still don’t understand why, if we unstake a small portion, we will lose the reward at the end. Can anyone clarify this for me.
One of the apy boosts tasks will be un-stake and re-stake.
Thank you
Not sure about it. We are currently in pre staking I guess it changes when normal staking goes live with the tasks.
I hope so. But im still waiting for an official answer about this
I guess we will we have to restake once the mainnet is launched right?
I think this reward will be a suprise (on equinox is task named special tasks for better apy) maybe that will be a special task - holding in pre staking. If you need more buy the dip now 😎
Thats right
Why should we be part of test-staking then?
To earn 15% APY + Tasks on Equinox staking which will increase the APY by completing the tasks. As I know we only have to stake again on main net.
Boss, there is no buttons for any tasks on the staking page right now, do you know when the task buttons will appear?
I totally refuse to pay the ETH fees. I'm waiting for INJ Chain or Binance Smart Chain till I can stake. Been hodling a few thousand INJ since 0.8.
When equinox staking launches currently it is pre staking
oic, then you'll need to unstake the pre-staking and stake in Equinox interface, correct?
and that's within Injective, so no ETH fee
yep
As far as I know no, because INJ is alrdy on chain and the tasks will released in addition only re staking should be an mainnet
injective chain is gas less
Yes!
You have no right, we will need to unstake from pre staking to eth blockchain and then go approve on eth and send to mainnet
Currently we are in the incentivized testnet phase on our roadmap. In the phase 1 we were onboarding validators. In the phase 1.5 (now) we allow you to pre-stake your INJ, which is not the same as staking them. Next phase, phase 2, will allow you to start using our Injective Chain and perform an actual stake by delegating to a validator. This phase is also know as the Equinox Staking Competition. In this phase, there will be regular updates with tasks that you are going to be able to do to get APY boost and earn more rewards. This is all on testnet.
Then, when we launch mainnet you will need to transfer your INJ through our bridge on our Injective Chain, delegate them to a validator and then you can say that you staked on the Injective Chain.
I hope its crystal clear now :)
I wrote this on telegram, I hope it will clear your question
Pre staking is not the same as staking. With pre staking you are locking your funds and getting rewarded for it. If you want to stake you need to delegate your balance to a validator.
hello, I'm curious as to why the staking.injective.network website is asking me to sign through MM as soon as I visited the page, before I have interacted with the app?
So what it means is that you will need to delegate/re-delegate to a validator to earn the reward boost.
Its a standard procedure, it asks for a personal sign just to confirm that you can sign transactions with the currently loaded account on metamask.
thank you

@kind flare during phase 2, are we allowed to unstake a part of inj or we will lose the rewards as well? Thanks a lot!
If you withdraw back to ethereum you lose all rewards. If you stake/re-stake (delegate to validator, unbond, wait for unbond time, delegate again) on our chain you still get the rewards.
Even if it is a portion, right?
Correct
I haven’t read about this anywhere. You should let people know about this
A blog post or anything
It says in the blog post of the pre-staking announcement. You can withdraw after a week, but if you withdraw you lose any rewards.
Ok. Thanks!
It says in the blog post of the pre-staking announcement. You can withdraw after a week, but if you withdraw you lose any rewards.
@kind flare is it public for how long phase 2 will run?
not yet
Ok. Thanks for your time and patience!
no probs, anytime
The day and night are equal length today!
Happy Spring Equinox. Autumn Equinox down here
One should always expect things in crypto - especially the unexpected
Lets use other channels like #🧠|off-topic for this type of discussion and keep it clean here with questions about the pre staking, so people can navigate known issues easily :)
Apologies @kind flare
whats the point of staking on the testnet?
You get real INJ as a reward for testing our Injective Chain 🙂 The base APY is 15%, and you can perform additional tasks to boost your yield.
When will the task be open for us to delegate to?
soon
Got it, thanks for the prompt response
Hi guys, I staked a couple days ago and while it says i'll yield an amount monthly I have not seen my stake increase, when does the yield pay out?
If you withdraw before the end of the staking competition you will not be eligible to receive any accrued yield
Rewards are paid out (and withdrawable) only at the end of the competition
competition? I just wanted to help stake on the network because I like the project lol.
and here you are asking about payouts 
yeah that's what I followed, I just wanted to make sure I didnt do something incorrectly
you're good. stay tuned for updates
ok thanks, i'll keep an eye on the announcement chat
where can i find staking info?
I m looking for the same
One more question can I switch back to the erc20 token after I Bridge them to the native INJ token?
Because exchanges doesn't support the native token right now
You can, but there is a 7 day lock period before the withdraw is available to you.
Aaaah that's nice thx
Also note that if you withdraw you forfeit any reward you get participating in the staking competition.
All What Bojan has said should be at the very beginning of that pre-staking walk through that, bold and large font.
Is equinox staking launching this month?
Hello. If it sais
Invalid parameters, must provide an ethereum adress
This is because i dont have enough eth ? It has my metamask adress already...
Yep litteraly short a couple of bucks
If i wait until 4/4 to start prestaking will i still be eligable for lottery rewards ??
Try clicking your metamask extension to open it, and make sure you have logged into your metamask so it is available to the dapp
yes did that, thank u. i litteraly am missing a few bucks
dont have enough eth for transaction
20 dollars is to slow 😦
if i wait untill 4/4 to stake, will i still be eligable for lottery rewards ??
does anyone know the last date to enter prestaking so i can be eligable for lottery rewards ??
Is there a lottery reward? 🤣
those aren't lottery rewards, those are just rewards
you will still be eligible if you wait until 4/4
you will still be eligible if you wait until 4/4
@hollow tulip Is this something new?
thank u
Q1 :)
nope https://blog.injectiveprotocol.com/introducing-the-injective-equinox-staking-rewards/
@hollow tulip i didnt find anything about 4/4 in the article
Because it isn’t a thing. It’s just his question. Maybe he can’t get enough inj or eth until then
Sorry, i misunderstood! Thanks!
@kind flare or @weary light, may I PM you?
Sent a friend request
Yes
These are real INJ pre-staked tho 🙂
The testnet part comes next - when we release the Staking Competition and then you are going to interact with our Injective Chain by transferring funds from Kovan (your staked amount will be minted on Kovan) to our Chain 🙂
Hey just a piece of feedback. It would be good to see a receipt of the transaction id when I "Approve transfer of ERC20 tokens into Injective" on the staking dashboard.
How long will equinox staking last?
I’m having issues with staking my INJ. I have followed this step by step guide - https://blog.injectiveprotocol.com/injective-equinox-pre-staking-launch/
I've got to step 6 and been waiting for hours without getting to step 7. tried multiple times and refreshing will just set me back to step 5.
When I look up my MetaMask address on etherscan I see that I now have three transactions pending.
Can you please help me out.
DM me with your wallet address and I will take a look
It will last for some time, details soon.
Thanks
I want to stake using metamask, currently my INJ is on an exchange. I'm wondering how much ETH do I need to buy for transfer fees. My eth accound is empty right now.
I understand that I will need to transfer ETH to metamask (and pay 1 fee), transfer INJ to metamask (and pay 1 fee) and then transfer INJ for staking, and pay another fee? Which means 3 fees, around 17-20$ each?
the fees you pay transfering eth and inj to metamask are paid on the exchange. you need to transfer maybe $50 worth of eth to metamask to cover the two fees you will pay to pre-stake your INJ: 1. approve/unlock of INJ tokens to transfer on the dapp, 2. transfer of INJ via pre-stake
alright cool
but if I'm transfering my ERC20 INJ to the injective chain, what is the "transfer of INJ via pre-stake"? Is it also happening on the ethereum chain?
I would expect it to happen on the INJ chain and be rather cheap?
you can currently only pre-stake your INJ (see https://blog.injectiveprotocol.com/injective-equinox-pre-staking-launch/), with staking coming soon
for transactions on the INJ chain you will not pay a fee, but there are fees to transfer your ERC20 INJ to the INJ Chain first

I assume I will need more eth for the actual staking? Or will my pre-staked tokens convert to INJ chain automatically?
you won't need eth for the actual staking. actual staking will happen on injective chain where you do not pay fees.
yes, but if I pre-stake now and the pre-staking period ends and the real staking starts
will I need eth to convert my ERC20 to INJ chain?
the pre-staking steps will be required to complete the next steps anyways
I'm trying to figure out how much eth I need
the pre-staking steps are one part of the process that converts your ERC20 INJ to INJ on inj chain
yes
awesome, thanks Michael
sorry, someone might have asked this b4, but I couldn't find relevant info:
How often are the INJ rewards dropped to investors' wallet, e.g., just for the 15% APY?
