Coreum is an enterprise-grade blockchain for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). For holders of its native token, $COREUM provides a chance to not only earn a substantial staking APR of over 25% but also to actively secure a network built for institutional adoption.

However, the path to maximizing these rewards is lined with critical choices. High validator commissions can decrease your yield, and operational risks like downtime or slashing can jeopardize your principal investment.

This is why selecting a proven, institutional-grade validator is the most important decision you’ll make. This guide details how staking with Zeeve—a validator with a market-leading 1% commission, a strict 99.95% uptime SLA, and a track record of securing over 6,000 nodes—ensures you achieve the optimal balance of security, performance, and profitability.

Zeeve is a leading institutional staking and blockchain infrastructure provider with a proven track record of running high-performance validators across dozens of networks. When you delegate to Zeeve, you are choosing reliability, security, and maximum returns.

Here’s why Zeeve stands out:

• Lowest Commission, Highest Yield: Zeeve charges a commission of only 1%, one of the lowest among all active Coreum validators. This means you keep 99% of the rewards your stake generates, maximizing your long-term returns.

• Strict Enterprise-Grade SLA for Uptime: Your delegation is backed by a strict, enterprise-grade Service Level Agreements (SLA) that contractually guarantees 99.95% uptime. Our redundant, multi-cloud, multi-region deployments with 24/7 monitoring ensure you never miss out on rewards.

• Institutional-Grade Security: Our operations are backed by SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications. We implement strict security protocols to mitigate risks like slashing, ensuring your delegated assets are protected by a disciplined operational framework.

• Completely Non-Custodial: You delegate directly from your own wallet. You always maintain full control and ownership of your $COREUM tokens. Your keys never leave your possession.

• Proven Track Record: Zeeve is a seasoned infrastructure provider with a demonstrated history of reliability. We have successfully managed over 6,000+ nodes across more than 40 leading blockchain protocols, and bring a level of operational maturity that few can match.

So, what exactly is the Coreum network you’re helping to secure?

Coreum is a high-performance, third-generation Layer-1 blockchain built for enterprises. Designed with the Cosmos SDK, it serves as foundational infrastructure for decentralized applications and, most importantly, the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs).

Here are some Key Features of Coreum Blockchain:

• Enterprise Focused: Built for scalability and security, processing up to 7,000 transactions per second.

• Smart Tokens: A next-generation standard for creating and managing programmable digital assets, RWAs natively on the blockchain.

• Interoperable: Seamlessly connects with other blockchains via the Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC) and features a bridge to the XRP Ledger.

• ISO 20022 Compliant: Adheres to global financial messaging standards, making it ideal for bridging traditional finance and blockchain.

In short, Coreum is building a fast, secure, and compliant hub for the future of global finance on-chain.

Staking on Coreum is rewarded through network inflation. The current staking APR is approximately 25.26%.

Your rewards are determined by a simple formula:

Staking APR = Inflation Rate / Staking Ratio

• Inflation Rate: The annual rate at which new $COREUM tokens are created.

• Staking Ratio: The percentage of the total token supply currently being staked.

This reward pool is distributed among all stakers. By choosing Zeeve as your Coreum validator, you ensure you get the largest possible share of your earned rewards. While the network APR is ~25.26%, delegating with a validator that charges a 10% commission means you only receive 90% of your earnings.

With Zeeve’s 1% commission, you take home 99% of the rewards. Plus, there is no minimum delegation amount required to start earning with us.

All Proof-of-Stake networks have some risks. However, choosing an institutional-grade validator like Zeeve significantly minimizes potential threats.

1. Downtime Risk: Validators on the Coreum network must sign at least 50% of blocks over a ~10-hour window. Failing to do so results in being “jailed” (temporarily removed from the active set for ~ 60sec) and a 0.5% slash on all delegated tokens for downtime. This results in lost earnings for its delegators.

Zeeve mitigates this with our redundant, multi-cloud architecture with automated failover, strict enterprise SLA, and 24/7 SRE monitoring to guarantee 99.95% uptime, ensuring consistent reward generation.

2. Slashing Risk: If a validator misbehaves (e.g., double-signing a block), the network can “slash” 5% of all tokens staked to it, including those of delegators, and permanently ban the validator.

Our SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified operations follow strict security protocols, incident response runbooks, and IAM policies to prevent the validator’s misbehavior that leads to slashing.

3. Unbonding Risk: When you decide to unstake your tokens, they enter a mandatory 7-day unbonding period. This is a network rule for all validators. During this time, you stop earning rewards immediately, but your tokens remain exposed to slashing risk until the period is complete.

This network rule underscores the importance of choosing a consistently reliable validator from the start. Our long-term operational excellence guarantees your assets are protected throughout your entire staking lifecycle, even as you exit a position.

Here’s a look at the current $COREUM token statistics and Zeeve’s validator performance.

This is the easiest and most efficient way to start earning rewards. Simply delegate your tokens to the Zeeve validator from your wallet to benefit from our low 1% commission and enterprise-grade security.

Delegate COREUM to Zeeve

For institutions or individuals who want to run their own dedicated validator node, you must bond a minimum of 20,000 $COREUM. To manage everything without the operational overhead, Zeeve provides fully managed, white-labeled Coreum validator nodes. You get the same 99.95% uptime and robust infrastructure, branded as your own.

1. What does it mean to “stake COREUM”?
   Staking means delegating your $COREUM tokens to a validator like Zeeve. Your stake adds to the validator’s voting power, which helps secure the network. In return, you earn a share of the network rewards.

1. Is staking with Zeeve non-custodial?
   Yes, absolutely. You delegate from your own wallet and maintain 100% control over your private keys. Zeeve never has custody of your assets.

1. Is there a minimum delegation amount?
   While running a validator requires a significant bond (~20k $COREUM), there is no minimum amount required to delegate your $COREUM to the Zeeve validator.

1. How are my rewards calculated with Zeeve?
   Your rewards are based on the network’s APR (~25.26%). From the rewards your stake generates, Zeeve takes a small 1% commission for running and maintaining the validator infrastructure. You keep the remaining 99%.

1. How long does it take to unstake (unbond) my tokens?
   The unbonding period on the Coreum network is 7 days. Once you initiate the process, your tokens will be liquid and transferable after this period has passed.

1. Why should I trust Zeeve with my delegation?
   Zeeve is an established leader in the blockchain infrastructure space, trusted by institutional investors and protocols. Our commitment to security (SOC 2, ISO 27001), industry-leading uptime (99.95%) with enterprise SLAs, deep experience (6,000+ nodes), and delegator-friendly 1% commission make us the smart choice for securing your assets and maximizing your returns.
