How Everstake deduces validator fee?

“Validator fee” refers to the rewards received by Validator for participating in the Blockchain network Validation process. Everstake determines the validator fee through a process involving analysis and consideration of various factors, such as network requirements, operational costs, and market dynamics.

Control over User's Funds

Validators don't have control over users' funds in blockchain networks. Instead, they validate transactions and participate in the consensus process based on the rules defined by the network protocol. Users retain control over their funds through private keys, which are used to sign transactions and authorize transfers. Validators' roles involve confirming the validity of transactions and blocks, but they don't have the authority to access or manipulate users' funds.

Rewards Distribution

Rewards on Injective are distributed every block (~0.65 sec).

Staking rewards are not automatically compounded to the stake, but compounding can be enabled using the restake rewards feature in the REStake application accessible via the Keplr wallet.
