# Aztec Staking Dashboard

> The official dashboard for staking $AZTEC, the token of Aztec Network, at https://stake.aztec.network.
> Holders delegate to a staking provider or register their own sequencer, then track their positions and claim rewards.
> The dashboard is a web app: it needs JavaScript and an Ethereum wallet, and every figure it shows is read live from the network.

Aztec Network is the protocol: a decentralized Ethereum L2 for private apps. $AZTEC is its token.
Aztec Foundation publishes this dashboard. Staking happens through smart contracts on Ethereum;
the dashboard is an interface to them.

## What you can do here

- See the network's staking figures: total value staked, estimated APR, active sequencers and the minimum stake.
- Compare staking providers by total stake, share of the network's stake and commission.
- Delegate $AZTEC to a provider, the simplest way to earn staking rewards, with no infrastructure to run.
- Register and stake your own sequencer by uploading its keys. This needs a running sequencer node.
- Track your staked positions, see claimable rewards and claim them.
- Stake from a wallet balance or from a Token Vault, with a browser wallet or a Safe multisig.

## Facts worth getting right

- Minimum stake: each stake position needs the network's minimum, currently 200,000 $AZTEC. The dashboard shows the live value.
- Smaller amounts: holders with less than the minimum can use liquid staking with Olla (https://olla.finance/), which has no minimum.
- Commission: each provider sets its own commission, shown in the provider list. It is taken from rewards.
- APR: the figure on the dashboard is an estimate from current rewards and the number of sequencers. Actual returns vary.
- Governance is not run from this dashboard. See https://aztec.network/token for how to take part.
- Access is restricted in some jurisdictions. The terms of service apply: https://aztec.network/terms-of-service
