Definitions Glossary
Staking: The process of locking your SOL tokens with a validator (e.g., High3r) to support the Solana network’s security and earn rewards based on network performance.
Epoch: A cycle on the Solana network, lasting approximately 2–3 days, during which validation and reward calculations occur. Funds are released after the next epoch following unstaking.
APY (Annual Percentage Yield): The annualized rate of return on your delegated SOL, subject to variability as described.
Wallet: A software or hardware tool (e.g., Phantom, Solflare) you control to store, send, and receive SOL tokens, secured by your public key and password.
Delegation: The act of assigning your SOL to a validator (like High3r) to participate in network validation, without transferring ownership.
Crypto Exchange: A platform (e.g., Independence Reserve, Swyftx) where you can convert fiat money (e.g., AUD, USD) into Solana tokens (SOL) or other cryptocurrencies.
Validator: A node (e.g., High3r) on the Solana network responsible for processing transactions, securing the network, and distributing rewards to stakers.
Solana: A high-performance blockchain platform that supports decentralized applications (e.g., DeFi, NFTs) and enables fast, low-cost transactions.
Rewards: The incentives (e.g., additional SOL tokens) earned by staking with a validator, distributed based on network performance and participation.
