Co-staking
Co-staking allows third parties to stake on devices and share block rewards. As a co-staker, you contribute to an existing staking offer and receive a share of the block rewards based on the agreed-upon percentage.

Devices failing to meet IO.net criteria may result in slashing, affecting rewards and principal.

To explore staking opportunities, go to IO Staking > Co-staking Marketplace. The marketplace provides all the information you need to make informed decisions.

The marketplace includes filters for:

- Requested Amount: Amount of $IO requested by the device owner.
- Reliability: Indicates device dependability.
- Offered Reward Percentage: Block reward percentage shared with co-stakers.

Co-stake to a Device
To ensure that more users can benefit from co-staking offers, we have set a claim cap of up to two offers per IO account.
To co-stake a device:
-
Click the Co-stake button next to the device to view a summary of the offer.
-
If you agree with the terms, click Stake
-
Approve the transaction in your wallet app (e.g., Phantom). The interface may vary depending on your wallet..
-
The status will first show Sending and then change to Approved.
To see your co-staked device, go to the Third-Party Co-Staking Devices tab.
