Users should consult the official Zeitgeist communication channels for more information. In a future update, Zeitgeist (ZTG) staking will be removed from Nova Wallet. {% endhint %} {% hint style="info" %} Nova Wallet is a non-custodial wallet where you alone remain in control of your assets via your private key/seed phrase. Nova Wallet directly connects you to the Zeitgeist protocol to stake directly. Nova Wallet does not provide you with any staking services such as how a CEX may do. {% endhint %} ### ZTG Staking Information & Parameters | Parameter | Information | | ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Minimum Stake | 0.5 ZTG\* | | Unstaking Period | 4 Hours | | Rewards Payout | Rewards accrue every 2 hours and are added to your transferable balance. | | Governance Participation | Staked ZTG can be used to participate in Governance on the Moonbeam protocol. | \*Some Collators may require you to stake an amount which is above the minimum network stake of 0.5 ZTG. ### How to Stake ZTG Tokens

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.novawallet.io/nova-wallet-wiki/staking/zeitgeist-ztg-staking.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
