2. Claim staking rewards
Each participant staking their AURA can earn revenue from the following methods:
- Block rewards are distributed proportionally to all validators and their delegators relative to their voting power. Aura holders that do not stake do not receive rewards.
- Transaction fees
Delegators can get their rewards by sending a claim reward transaction, then the rewards will be sent to Aura wallet.

3. Undelegate a validator
Staking will lock your funds for 2 days, so you will need to undelegate in order for your staked assets to be liquid again. This process will take 2 days to complete. Once the unbonding period begins you will:
- not receive staking rewards
- not be able to cancel the unbonding
- need to wait 2 days for the amount to be liquid
Please click Manage
button, a pop up will show up, click on Select Action
and choose Undelegate
from the dropdown list.
A popup will show up with information about validator, unbonding period.
