Tezos Staking: 3x Rewards After the Quebec Upgrade

Published · Updated

Kamil Jakub Natil

Introduction:

Tezos is leveling up its ecosystem with the highly anticipated Quebec protocol upgrade, set to go live on January 22, 2025. This update marks a significant milestone, introducing a shift from delegation to direct staking—unlocking the potential opportunity for 3x staking rewards from the network.

The shift from delegation to staking isn't just a technicality, this move directly benefits bakers and delegators. With this upgrade, Tezos users will have more control while being eligible for greater rewards.

Do you want to know how you can reap these rewards?

Keep reading—we've broken it all down for you. Plus, if you're ready to dive in now, we've got everything you need to know to use the institutional-grade P2P.org infrastructure.

The New Staking Model: What’s Changed?

With the Quebec protocol upgrade, Tezos has introduced a significant change for stakers. Instead of delegating your XTZ to a baker, you can now stake directly with the protocol (for the first time ever, you can use P2P.org infrastructure directly to secure the Tezos network!), adding another layer of security.

The Quebec protocol upgrade builds on the significant changes introduced in the previous Paris upgrade, most notably a new staking mechanism that makes it possible for individuals to stake for the first time. Now, instead of just delegating your XTZ to a baker (like our P2P.org infrastructure), you can choose to stake with us as well and help us secure the Tezos network. While staking rewards were set to 2x delegation rewards from the network with Paris, Quebec has now elevated staking rewards to 3x delegation rewards, making it more beneficial to stake.

Tezos Staking 101

  1. Delegation vs. Staking: Before, you could delegate your XTZ to a baker, and in return, you would receive rewards from your baker based on how much you delegated while keeping your tez liquid. With staking now possible as a second way to earn, you can lock your XTZ with a baker and enjoy rewards that are accrued directly on a protocol level.
  2. Higher Risk, Higher Reward: Staking does expose you to slashing risks, which makes it extremely important for you to choose a reputable baker like P2P.org to reduce this risk. While slashing has happened only a few times in Tezos’ history, it is one of the features that differ from delegation.
  3. 3x Rewards:  If you’re currently delegating with a baker, you will have the opportunity to triple your rewards by choosing to stake with them. By staking your XTZ in addition to delegation, XTZ can enhance your network rewards significantly, which start accruing immediately.

Tezos Staking vs. Delegation:

  • Staking: You have the opportunity to earn 3x the rewards from the network, directly added to your balance, automatically compounded.
  • Delegation: The rewards from the network go to the baker for redistribution.

Simple and Efficient Staking

For users (like you!), staking XTZ means increased rewards compared to delegation. These rewards are directly added to the staked balance, automatically compounded and locked. Unlike delegation, where rewards are given to the baker for redistribution, staking ensures you directly benefit from the protocol’s rewards.
