Understanding Staking Statuses

Gem Wallet uses staking statuses to show where a delegation is in the network's staking or unstaking process. Not every network uses every status, and the time required is determined by that blockchain.

Staking Statuses​

  • Pending: The delegation or withdrawal is waiting for the network to process it.
  • Activating: The stake has been submitted but is not active yet. When available, Gem Wallet shows the estimated time until activation.
  • Active: The delegation is active. Eligible rewards can accrue according to network and validator rules.
  • Inactive: The delegation is no longer participating, such as when its validator is inactive. Available actions depend on the network.
  • Deactivating: An unstaking request is in progress. When available, Gem Wallet shows the estimated time until the funds can be withdrawn or used.
  • Awaiting Withdrawal: The network's waiting period has ended, but a separate withdrawal action is still required on that network.

Active Stake​

An Active status means that the delegation is participating in staking. Rewards are estimates rather than guaranteed returns and can vary with network conditions, validator performance, and commission.

Unstaking in Progress​

After you request unstaking, the delegation may appear as Pending or Deactivating, depending on the network. The funds are not yet available during this period. If the network requires a separate final step, the status changes to Awaiting Withdrawal and Gem Wallet shows a Withdraw action.

Why Staking Status Matters​

Do not send or plan around staked funds until the app shows that they are available. Estimated completion times can change because the blockchain, not Gem Wallet, controls activation and unbonding.
