[Coreum](https://www.zeeve.io/blockchain-protocols/deploy-coreum-node/) is an enterprise-grade [blockchain](https://www.zeeve.io/blockchain-protocols/?utm_source=content_distribution&utm_medium=paragraph&utm_campaign=stake_coreum_maximize_your_rewards_with_zeeve) [](https://www.zeeve.io/blockchain-protocols/?utm_source=content_distribution&utm_medium=paragraph&utm_campaign=stake_coreum_maximize_your_rewards_with_zeeve)for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). For holders of its native token, $COREUM provides a chance to not only earn a substantial [staking](https://www.zeeve.io/blog/could-staking-as-a-service-be-a-bridge-between-institutions-and-defi) 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](https://www.zeeve.io/validator-nodes/?utm_source=content_distribution&utm_medium=paragraph&utm_campaign=stake_coreum_maximize_your_rewards_with_zeeve) 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](https://www.zeeve.io/blog/elevate-your-rollup-security-tackle-mev-risks-in-custom-layer2-chains), performance, and profitability.

What You Earn Choosing Zeeve as your Staking Partner?
-----------------------------------------------------

Staking on [Coreum](https://www.zeeve.io/blockchain-protocols/deploy-coreum-node/) 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.

Staking Risks and How Zeeve Mitigates Them?
-------------------------------------------

All [Proof-of-Stake](https://www.zeeve.io/blog/a-complete-guide-on-proof-of-stake-pos-in-cryptocurrency) 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](https://www.zeeve.io/delegation-service/?utm_source=content_distribution&utm_medium=paragraph&utm_campaign=stake_coreum_maximize_your_rewards_with_zeeve) 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.
