Overall IOTA Network Statistics (Next Epoch)
What is IOTA Staking?
IOTA staking allows you to earn rewards by delegating your IOTA tokens to a validator. Validators help secure the network, and in return, you receive a share of the protocol rewards. Our IOTA APY Calculator helps you estimate your potential annual percentage yield (APY) and compare validator options for the next epoch. This tool may also list staking services or pools, which offer alternative ways to earn rewards with your IOTA.
For more details, consult the official IOTA Staking Guide.

Note: Calculated APYs are for the epoch *after* the current one fully completes and your stake is locked with a validator for that entire subsequent epoch.

Estimated IOTA Validator & Staking Service APYs for Next Epoch
Displaying: 0 / 0 Validators & Services
Entries are sorted by estimated APY in descending order by default. The APY is an estimate based on current network parameters and projections for the next epoch. Actual returns may vary. Assumes 365 epochs per year. Click on table headers to sort.
Important Note on Staking Services:
This table may include entries for staking services or pools (e.g., SwirlStake Pool). These are distinct from individual IOTA network validators.
- Their listed APY is typically provided by the service itself and may already account for their fees or specific reward mechanisms.
- Fields like "Next Comm.," "Voting Power," and "Next Stake (TVL)" for these services are presented differently and may not be directly comparable to on-chain validator data.
- Always visit the service's website (via the "Details" link) to understand their specific terms, conditions, and how they operate.
Understanding Our APY Estimates:
The APYs shown here are estimated for the next epoch, calculated using the latest announced validator commissions, projected network stake, and total epoch rewards. For staking services, the APY is generally as reported by the service. This helps you make informed decisions for the upcoming reward period. It also accounts for network rules where a single validator's share of epoch rewards may be capped (e.g., at 10% of total rewards), meaning their displayed APY reflects how those capped rewards are distributed among all of their stakers.
Why is this different from some other APY figures you might see? Some sites might show a historical average APY over a validator's entire lifetime. While that can offer some long-term insight, it may not accurately reflect current earning potential and can make newer, high-performing validators appear to have lower APYs. Our "Next Epoch APY" is designed to be more relevant for your immediate staking choices.
Remember, all APYs are dynamic. Always do your own research (DYOR) beyond APY before staking.

Important IOTA Staking Notes & Tips
- IOTA rewards are earned for full epochs where your funds are staked with a validator or according to the terms of a staking service.
- If you switch validators before an epoch ends, you will likely not receive rewards for that partial epoch from either the old or new validator. Staking services may have different terms.
- The best time to switch IOTA validators is immediately after an epoch has concluded.
- Even if you switch at an epoch boundary, your stake with the new validator will start earning rewards for the epoch that begins after the current one completes. There's effectively a "waiting period" of one epoch for IOTA staking.
- The APYs shown are estimates for the next rewardable epoch (or as reported by services) and can change based on IOTA network conditions, total stake, and validator performance/commission changes or service updates.
- Always do your own research (DYOR) before choosing an IOTA validator or staking service. For more details, consult the official IOTA Staking Guide.
