Sentinel

Fees

Sentinel makes its money from a commission on what its validators earn. Everything we charge is listed here, and every figure on this page is read live from the same pool terms and platform settings we charge from. If a figure cannot be loaded, the page says so rather than showing an old one.

Commission on the daily reward
5% to 9%
Infrastructure fund
11% to 13%
Withdrawal fee
8%

What we take from rewards

Two shares are taken from what a pool’s validator earns, never from the amount you put in. The commission is our revenue for running the validator and the platform. The infrastructure fund pays for servers, monitoring and the validators we launch on new networks.

Delegators are paid the pool’s daily rate on what they hold. On a day the validator earns more than that, the surplus goes to the pool’s reserve. On a day it earns less, we give up the commission and the infrastructure fund share first, before the reserve is touched.

Moving money in and out

Depositing, delegating and undelegating cost nothing from us. The one charge on money leaving is a flat withdrawal fee, which covers the cost of sending it on-chain.

Depositing

Our fee
None

Your wallet pays the sending network’s own transaction fee, as it would for any transfer. Our payment provider’s conversion cost is ours: you are credited what you sent.

Withdrawing

Fee per withdrawal
8%
Networks
BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20)

The fee comes out of what you withdraw, not on top. The withdrawal form shows the fee and what will arrive before you confirm.

Delegating and undelegating

Our fee
None
Unbonding period
Up to 30 days

Unbonding periods vary by network. Unbonding is not a fee, but it has a cost: once you undelegate, the amount you delegated earns nothing and cannot be withdrawn until that network’s period ends.

Costs that are not ours

  • Network fees your own wallet charges when you send a deposit. We never see that money.
  • Slashing. If a network penalises a validator a pool delegates to, the loss falls on the delegations in that pool, shared by everyone in it. It is a risk, not a fee, and it is set out on the risk page.
  • Price. Balances are held in USDT, and a stablecoin can lose its peg. Nothing we charge or hold protects against that.

Fees can change. Because this page reads the same settings the platform charges from, it changes with them. A pool’s split is shown on its page before you delegate.
