Aleo staking with Everstake is non-custodial delegation. You bond ALEO from your own wallet to the Everstake validator, and Everstake never holds your keys.
Full staking details ↓
Native staking requires a minimum of 10,000 ALEO.
The Everstake commission is 5% of ALEO staking rewards, and the current reward rate is 11.40% APR.
The Aleo network adds rewards to your staking balance every block, so they compound without a claim step.
Partial unstaking is allowed while at least 10,000 ALEO stays bonded; below that, the whole position unbonds.
Aleo
Aleo is approaching a major milestone in the evolution of privacy-first blockchain infrastructure. With the upcoming launch of USDCx by Circle and USAD by Paxos on Aleo Mainnet, the network will welcome the first privacy-preserving stablecoins designed for real-world financial use cases. This article explores the impact of the introduction of USDCx and USAD on...

About Aleo: a zero-knowledge layer-1 and the Leo language
Native ALEO staking with Everstake requires at least 10,000 ALEO. Staked principal is charged no fee.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Minimum stake (native) | 10,000 ALEO |
| Minimum bonded balance to keep | 10,000 ALEO; below this, the full stake unbonds |
| Reward frequency | Every block, added to the staking balance (auto-compounding) |
| Unbonding period | 360 blocks (roughly 1–2 hours), then a manual claim |
| Slashing | Inactive on Aleo mainnet |
| Validators per address | 1 at a time |

ALEO staking with Everstake runs on the Aleo network through staking.aleo.org, and Everstake operates the validator you delegate to. The process takes 3 steps:
Everstake operates the validator and the delegator keeps the keys. Everstake cannot do any of the following with delegated ALEO at any point:
Each Aleo address can bond to 1 validator at a time, so switching validators requires unbonding first.
Withdrawing ALEO from the Everstake validator takes 2 on-chain transactions separated by a 360-block wait:
During those 360 blocks the ALEO earns no rewards and cannot be transferred. If an unbond would leave less than 10,000 ALEO bonded to Everstake, the Aleo protocol unbonds the entire position.
Aleo staking rewards come from new ALEO issued each block and are shared between validators and delegators in proportion to stake. The Everstake commission of 10% is deducted from those rewards, and staked principal stays intact.
Everstake has operated an Aleo validator since the pre-mainnet testnet, where it was selected from 6,000+ validator applications. Aleo mainnet has run since September 2024, and the Everstake validator address aleo18xwgkgzwvzpw6yz8cdhrvrv6ztpd26zll46kd4kfcd79c9x90grsah3jug is verifiable on the Provable Explorer.
Staking ALEO with Everstake carries 3 protocol-level risks:
Slashing is inactive on Aleo mainnet. An Aleo validator needs at least 10,000,000 ALEO in total stake to stay in the committee.
Aleo is a layer-1 blockchain that executes programs off-chain with zero-knowledge proofs, so applications keep user data private while the network verifies results. Developers write Aleo programs in Leo, a purpose-built language described in Everstake's overview of the Aleo network.
Consensus runs on AleoBFT, with validators such as Everstake securing blocks and provers generating proofs. Circle's USDCx and Paxos's USAD are privacy-preserving stablecoins launching on Aleo Mainnet.
