Cosmos ($ATOM) has a 21-day un-staking period. Also, tokens like $DYM, $JUP, $DOT, $LINK, $XAI, $GRT, $SCRT, $CRV, $JUNO, $AERO, $VELO, $FRAX, and $KAVA feature similar delays. Which others?
i think you should also check out kusama; its unbonding period sits around 28 days. tezos might hit a similar range too. definitely worth a double-check on the docs!
hey frnds, i’ve been digging around a bit into those long un-staking periods. besides cosmos and the coins already mentioned, i’ve come across info that osmosis (which is built on the cosmos sdk) also sticks with a 21-day unbonding delay. also, i seem to recall terra classic had something similar pre-transition - though im not 100% on the details so its worth a look into their docs. i find it super intriguging how these networks balance between securing the network and offering liquid assets! what do you all think about the impact of such delays on market liquidity and user experience? would be cool to hear any personal stakin’ experiences on these chains or even others that might have even longer wait times. lets keep this convo going!
Observing various projects, it seems that many chains built on the Cosmos SDK opt for a similar unbonding period. For example, my experience with Sentinel and IRISnet has shown that these networks implement a delay of approximately 21 days before staked tokens can be fully redeemed. This mechanism not only reinforces network security by allowing a buffer period during unstaking but also helps mitigate abrupt liquidity shifts. Such a structured delay encourages thoughtful staking decisions and reflects a broader trend in tokenomics for blockchain networks.
hey, have u looked into eth2? validator exits sometimes take like 4 wks or more before funds are withdrawable. its an interesting design decision balancing security with liquidity.
