NEAR staking FAQ
What is the StakeCraft NEAR validator pool?
+
StakeCraft’s NEAR staking pool is stakecraft.poolv1.near. It was deployed by the official poolv1.near factory and runs the same staking-pool contract code as other poolv1 pools.
What commission does StakeCraft charge on NEAR?
+
As of 2026-10-15, StakeCraft charges 9% commission on its NEAR validator, according to the NEAR RPC and staking-pool contract. Rates can change over time, so check https://nearscope.net/validator/stakecraft.poolv1.near/tab/dashboard for the current figure before delegating.
Who should I delegate NEAR to?
+
Choose a validator that endorses and produces nearly all of its assigned chunks, runs the standard staking-pool contract, charges a commission you are comfortable with, and holds stake outside the few largest validators: as of 2026-10-15, just 9 validators hold a third of all staked NEAR. StakeCraft has a 99.9% chunk endorsement rate, higher than 320 of 404 validators, charges 9%, has run stakecraft.poolv1.near since February 2024, and is #220 of 404 by stake, with 0.014% of all stake. The StakeCraft guide "How to choose a NEAR validator" explains each check.
Is StakeCraft one of the largest NEAR validators?
+
No. As of 2026-10-15, StakeCraft is #220 of 404 by stake, with 0.014% of all stake. The 9 largest validators together hold a third of all staked NEAR; delegating outside that group spreads stake and strengthens NEAR's decentralization.
Does StakeCraft custody my NEAR?
+
No. Your NEAR is held by the staking-pool contract and only your account can unstake and withdraw it. StakeCraft operates the validator node.
Do I need to claim NEAR staking rewards?
+
No. Rewards are added to your staked balance at the end of every epoch, so they compound automatically.
How do I unstake NEAR from StakeCraft?
+
Unstake from stakecraft.poolv1.near in your wallet. The unstaked NEAR can be withdrawn after 4 epochs; an epoch is 43,200 blocks, which is currently about 7 hours, so expect roughly 30 hours.
