Onyx uses several reward concepts that should not be combined:
| Reward type | Recipient | Where to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Liquid staking | stXCN holders | Onyx App and Markets staking API |
| Protocol/native account staking | Eligible ledger accounts under current network rules | Network state and applicable protocol documentation |
| Validator/node rewards | Eligible node operators | Validator dashboard and operator records |
Liquid staking is a smart-contract product with owner-adjustable parameters. Validator rewards are a network/operator mechanism. A rate shown for one is not the rate for another.
Avoid fixed APY, validator-count, reward-budget, or USD examples. These values change and must be read from the relevant live source.
