FAQs

What is Valdora Finance?

Valdora Finance is the liquid staking protocol on ZIGChain that allows users to stake their ZIG tokens while retaining liquidity through the issuance of stZIG tokens.

What is stZIG? stZIG is a yield-bearing liquid staking token minted when users stake ZIG. It represents their staked value plus auto-compounded rewards.

Is there a minimum amount required to stake ZIG? The minimum deposit amount is 50 ZIG.

Where can I access the Valdora staking app? You can access it at http://valdora.finance/

How is stZIG minted? stZIG is minted via the Staker Contract when users deposit ZIG. The contract then delegates ZIG to validators through Ledger Contracts, and stZIG is issued in return.

How do I track rewards?

stZIG reflects rewards via its increasing value relative to ZIG. You can go to withdraw section and check how much ZIG you will receive by unstaking the stZIG tokens.

Can I build integrations or apps on top of Valdora? Yes. Valdora’s smart contracts expose query endpoints and can be accessed via CLI or programmatically through APIs. SDK support is based on Rust and CosmWasm toolsets.

Have the smart contracts been audited? A: Yes, all core contracts—including the Staker and Ledger Contracts—have been audited by OAK security.

Can validators steal my staked funds? No. Validators only receive delegated ZIG via smart contracts. They cannot access or transfer your funds. All logic is managed by on-chain contracts.

What happens if a validator is slashed? If a validator misbehaves (e.g., downtime or double signing), a portion of their stake is slashed. Ledger Contracts automatically detect slashing events and distribute losses amongst holders.

Are there emergency pause or recovery options? Yes, the Valdora contracts can be paused in case of an emergency and the contracts are upgradeable thus any missing functionality can be added later.

How do I unstake my ZIG? You can initiate unstaking through the Valdora app or via CLI. After redemption, your request enters a 21-23 day unbonding period (native to ZIGChain).

Is there a way to exit staking instantly? Yes. You can trade your stZIG tokens on DEXs (if liquidity exists), allowing for fast redemption without waiting for the unbonding period.

What is the unbonding period? The standard unbonding period on ZIGChain is 21 days and 2 more days for Valdora to distribute. This applies if you unstake using the normal redeem flow.

How do I know when my ZIG is ready to withdraw? You can monitor the status via the app interface or run the CLI command to check unbonding status.
