For PrimalBlock the APR will not be affected too much. It will allow us to increase the cap and let more people delegate towards us without affecting the APR too much.

There is no change in APR. I guess there is an issue with the displayed information. Where did you see that info or how did you come with that APR?

As mentioned above in the post: The rewards for the first days are smaller; we have to wait at least a few more days until more nodes are activated. By the 10th of April most of the nodes will be active and your subsequent rewards will be higher. Also Elrond is removing 363 nodes in the following days, making room for more nodes to be activated and when this happen the APR will get closer to the current estimated target: 19%.

The APR does not depend only on the fee but also depends on the number of nodes active (producing rewards) and the stake per node (how much beyond the base stake per node of 2500 EGLD is allowed by the provider to be put as top-up). Your EGLD is safe no matter what happens to the nodes or the provider. They are secured by the Elrond protocol itself and the staked funds are in a secured Smart Contract so that no one has acces to it, not the provider and not even Elrond, only each person who staked. So if you claim or unstake one year from now, you will be able to do so, no matter what.

We will consider that. In the spirit of decentralisation we did not pursue that as we believe on the long term good results and tracking record will be the ones that will count after all. We really like to welcome those who actually do their own due diligence on the providers they choose 😉.

There is not way to automate the claim of the rewards. You will be able to claim them from the app (if you used Maiar) or from the web wallet. Every 24 hours new rewards become available to be claimed. You can claim them when you want. If you don't claim them you don't lose them, they will stay there waiting to be claimed. Keep in mind, you can stake the rewards as well so that you compound the rewards and increase the overall rewards received. There is no minimum of EGLD when you stake/compound the rewards. Here is a calculation made by the community regarding best scenarios around compounding rewards: PS: The first rewards are smaller, we have to wait until more nodes are activated. By the 10th of April all nodes will be active and your subsequent rewards will be higher. Also Elrond is removing 363 nodes in the following days, making room for more nodes to be activated and when this happen the APR will get closer to the current estimated target 19%. Keep in mind that by staking your rewards and by compounding them your actual final APR can be higher with up to 3%, so close to 22%.

@Alex S 1. A stake does not belong to a node. It is a staking pool, all staked funds are put together. 2. As you can see above it is not working as you think. Basically all stakers and all funds staked are used to stake nodes. All active nodes, and only active nodes produce rewards that are then distributed proportionally to each staker. If you staked 1% of the staking pool you will get 1% of all rewards earned by the staking pool. Ideally we want as many nodes to be active so that rewards are optimized. Due to increase demand right now there are nodes that will not become active immediately as they are in a queue. In the next 1-2 weeks things will become clear where we are. As it looks like the APR will be between 15%-20%. We are aiming for 20%.

We just created a Telegram group: https://t.me/primalblock

It will not go higher than 10%. That is for sure. For a while it might go lower so that you can enjoy a better APR.

Yes, but keep in mind that is not automatically. Once you have more than 1 eGold in rewards you can stake them in one transaction on top of your existing stake you have with us.

Yes, when nodes in the queue become active they will start producing rewards.
