Dear #LUNAtics :

Did you know you could be losing large sums of $LUNA...

...Because your validator has been JAILED?

Check the graph below and you'll see one of the biggest staking problems nobody talks about.

What's the dark truth behind it and how can you avoid?

Rean on👇

So everybody told you a delegator can be in 3 states:

- Bonded
- Unbonding

or...

- Unbonded

And that is... INCORRECT.

You see, there's a last category nobody talks about.

It's an ambush currently trapping 5+ million $LUNA.

Your investment could be cornered there too!

How?

See, although technically not a real "state"...

When a validator gets slashed/jailed, it acts as if it was unbonding...

Only that it's still bonded.

In other words:

A jailed validator means a PENALIZED validator.

It also means penalized rewards.

Your rewards.

Here's why:

If your validator double-signs or goes offline...

It risks the staked $LUNA being "slashed" by the protocol.

This is done to penalize negligence and misbehavior.

Guess who's rewards we are talking about!

Look at the image below.

See those red dots?

Yep.

Those dots aren't doing your rewards any good.

You see, when a validator gets jailed it means two things:

First the good news:

Jailing won't affect your deposited $LUNA.

Now the bad:

Your rewards will painfully bleed due to this issue.

So...

What can you do?

Before Stader, you had a couple of options:

If you redelegated with a jailed validator...

The transaction would take only 3 days.

If the validator was unjailed and got normal again...

Then it would take the usual 21 days.

Unfortunately, this meant only one thing:

The hassle of constant monitoring your staking activity.

And if you are like some folks...

The daily JOB of checking your validators performance.

Doesn't sound like "set-and-forget", isn't it?

That is why our mission is to finish this once and for all.

Here's how:

First, Stader creates buckets of validators you can stake with.

Just choose the bucket of your preference...

Click one button...

And you are set.

Second, this means jailing risk will be automatically reduced by the amount of validators in the bucket.

Yet the most important:

With only one click, you'll also auto compound rewards...

Claim airdrops...

Reduce claiming costs...

And get rid of "staking dust".
