When staking, you can earn a passive income by participating in the Tezos network via delegation.

The current annual yield on Tezos is around 3%, minus a validator’s fees. You can use Staking Reward’s calculator to estimate your monthly earnings.

When you first start delegating, it will take roughly five weeks for you to receive your first staking rewards from your validator. After this, you can expect rewards about every 3 days.
