Bob
Bob doesn't have native staking. Liquid staking and DeFi alternatives further down still let you earn yield.
Bob uses Proof-of-Work — there is nothing to stake natively. See DeFi alternatives below.
Rollup maturity & risk
How Bob stacks up as a rollup
Stage 0 Optimistic RollupAggregated rollup-maturity rating + 5-axis risk rosette. Stage 2 is fully decentralised; Stage 1 has guardian intervention windows; Stage 0 still has admin keys. Sentiment colours come straight from the source.
Sequencer Failure
Self sequence
In the event of a sequencer failure, users can force transactions to be included in the project's chain by sending them to L1. There can be up to a 12h delay on this operation.
State Validation
Fraud proofs (1R, ZK)
Fraud proofs allow actors watching the chain to prove that the state is incorrect. Single round proofs (1R) prove the validity of a state proposal, only requiring a single transaction to resolve. A fault proof eliminates a state proposal by proving that any intermediate state transition in the proposal results in a different state root. For either, a ZK proof is used.
Data Availability
Onchain
All of the data needed for proof construction is published on Ethereum L1.
Exit Window
None
There is no window for users to exit in case of an unwanted regular upgrade since contracts are instantly upgradable.
Proposer Failure
Self propose
The primary whitelisted proposer currently has no optimistic advantage (`vanguardAdvantage = 0`), so this privilege is disabled (not active). Anyone can leverage the source available zk prover to prove a fault or a conflicting valid proposal to win against the privileged proposer and/or supply a bond and make a counter proposal immediately.

如何在 ETH 上赚取收益
由于 Bob 没有原生质押，在 ETH 上赚取收益的方法是通过 DeFi 池 — 借出、提供流动性，或包装到支持质押的链上。DeFi 增加了智能合约风险和（对于 LP）无常损失风险。

What does a validator actually do?
Validators run the chain. Pick a healthy one and your rewards arrive on schedule; pick a bad one and you can lose part of your stake.

Frequently asked
What people ask about Bob staking
What does staking ETH on Bob mean?
+
Staking on Bob means locking your ETH with a validator that helps run the network. In return, the network pays you a share of newly created tokens — similar to how a savings account pays interest, but the rate is set by the protocol, not a bank.
How much can I earn?
+
Right now the top validators on Bob pay varies by validator per year, after their commission. The rate moves with the chain's inflation schedule and how much of the supply is staked overall.
Is staking safe?
+
Your tokens stay in your wallet — you never hand them over. The two real risks are slashing (the network can shrink your balance if your validator misbehaves, which is rare) and lock-up (you can't sell instantly during the unbonding period). Pick a validator with a track record and you sidestep most of the risk.
Can I unstake whenever I want?
+
Yes, but unstaking is not instant. Most chains have an unbonding period of a few days to a few weeks during which you don't earn rewards and can't sell. Liquid-staking tokens (like stETH for Ethereum) sidestep this by giving you a tradeable receipt token.
What wallet do I need?
+
Any non-custodial wallet that supports Bob works — Phantom or Solflare for Solana, Keplr for Cosmos chains, MetaMask for Ethereum and EVM chains, Yoroi or Eternl for Cardano. Connect, choose a validator, click delegate. The whole flow takes a couple of minutes.

Terms used on this page
-
Validator
A computer that processes transactions and votes on the blockchain's state. In return for keeping the network honest it collects fees and staking rewards.
-
Slashing
An automatic penalty where part of a validator's stake is destroyed for misbehaviour or extended downtime. Real risk for delegators too.
-
Unbonding Period
The waiting time after you unstake before tokens become liquid again. Ranges from minutes (Ethereum LSTs) to 21+ days (Cosmos chains).
-
Validator Commission
The fee a validator takes from staking rewards before passing the rest to delegators. Often 5–15%; lower means more of the reward reaches you.
-
Real Yield
Yield paid in revenue-bearing assets (ETH, USDC, fees) rather than newly minted protocol tokens. The non-inflationary part of the rate.
