Rewards accrue every 12 hours and are added to your staked balance.**
Governance Participation
Staked VARA can be used to participate in Governance on the Vara protocol.
*Some Validators may require you to stake an amount which is above the minimum network stake of 50 VARA.
**It is possible to modify your rewards payout so that your staking rewards are sent to you as a transferable balance and are not restaked / compounded.
If you are trying to stake less than the minimum amount of VARA tokens for Direct Staking then Nova Wallet will direct you to Pool Staking.
