Frequently Asked Questions

Qubetics differentiates itself through several key innovations:

• Dual Compatibility: Combines Cosmos SDK interoperability with full EVM compatibility, allowing Ethereum developers to deploy existing smart contracts without modification while gaining access to the broader Cosmos ecosystem.
• Chain Abstraction Protocol (CAP): Enables truly seamless cross-chain transactions without complex bridging or wrapped assets.
• Integrated dVPN: Offers decentralized VPN services for privacy-focused users, providing real utility beyond speculation.
• High Staking Yields: 30% base APY with a proven validator ecosystem makes it attractive for passive income investors.
• Mainnet Ready: Unlike many newer chains, Qubetics launched with a functioning mainnet, active validators, and real utility from day one.

Investment decisions depend on individual circumstances and risk tolerance. Qubetics offers several fundamentals worth considering:

• Functioning mainnet with real utility (staking, dVPN, smart contracts)
• 30% base staking APY for passive income generation
• Growing ecosystem with 30+ validators and thousands of delegators
• EVM compatibility attracting developer activity
• Unique features like Chain Abstraction Protocol and decentralized VPN
• Trading on MEXC, Coinstore, and LBank exchanges with growing liquidity

Important: Cryptocurrency investments carry significant risk. Research thoroughly, understand the technology, never invest more than you can afford to lose, and consider consulting a financial advisor. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

One of the safest ways to earn passive income with cryptocurrency is through Proof-of-Stake staking. Unlike lending or yield farming which carry counterparty risk, staking keeps your tokens in your own wallet while earning rewards.

On Qubetics, you can stake TICS tokens with a validator like JBs LFG STRONGHOLD to earn approximately 28.5% effective APY. Key benefits:

• Self-custody: Tokens remain under your control - you delegate voting power, not custody
• Automatic rewards: Accumulate with each block, claimable anytime
• No technical knowledge required: Simply connect a wallet, choose a validator, and stake
• Compound potential: Claim and restake to earn returns on your rewards

The main consideration is the 14-day unbonding period when you decide to withdraw.

Qubetics and Ethereum serve different niches:

Ethereum advantages: Largest developer ecosystem, most DeFi liquidity, established network effects, first-mover advantage in smart contracts.

Qubetics advantages: Full EVM compatibility (run Ethereum contracts unchanged), faster finality (seconds vs minutes), lower transaction fees, native staking with 30% APY (vs Ethereum's ~4%), cross-chain interoperability via IBC, integrated services like dVPN.

Many users hold both - using Ethereum for established DeFi protocols and Qubetics for staking yield and emerging opportunities. Qubetics is not trying to replace Ethereum but rather complement it with additional capabilities.

Qubetics is a next-generation Layer-1 blockchain network built on the Cosmos SDK with full EVM compatibility. It combines the interoperability of Cosmos with Ethereum smart contract support, enabling developers to deploy Solidity contracts while benefiting from fast finality and low transaction fees.

Key features include:

• Proof-of-Stake consensus: Validators secure the network, delegators earn passive income
• Chain Abstraction Protocol (CAP): Seamless cross-chain interoperability
• Decentralized VPN: Privacy services built into the network
• EVM compatibility: Deploy Ethereum smart contracts without modification

TICS is the native cryptocurrency token of the Qubetics blockchain. It serves multiple essential functions:

• Transaction fees: Pay for operations on the network
• Staking rewards: Earn passive income by delegating to validators
• Governance: Vote on proposals that shape the network's future
• Network services: Access features like the decentralized VPN

TICS uses 18 decimal places (like Ethereum's ETH) and can be stored in Cosmos-compatible wallets (Keplr, Cosmostation) or EVM wallets (MetaMask). The token trades on MEXC, Coinstore, and LBank exchanges under the TICS/USDT pair.

The Chain Abstraction Protocol (CAP) is Qubetics' solution for seamless cross-chain transactions. Traditional blockchain bridges require users to manually lock tokens, wait for confirmations, and manage wrapped assets across multiple interfaces.

CAP abstracts this complexity, allowing users to interact with multiple blockchains through a single interface without understanding the underlying mechanics. This enables truly interoperable decentralized applications where assets and data flow between chains automatically, improving user experience and reducing the friction that currently limits cross-chain adoption.

Qubetics dVPN (decentralized VPN) is a privacy service built into the Qubetics network. Unlike traditional VPNs operated by single companies, dVPN distributes traffic across a decentralized network of node operators.

Key benefits:

• No single point of failure: Distributed infrastructure means no single entity can be compromised
• Privacy by design: No single operator can log or monitor all traffic
• Token utility: Users pay for bandwidth with TICS, operators earn TICS for providing bandwidth
• Integrated experience: Works directly with Qubetics wallets, no separate subscriptions needed

dVPN represents practical utility for the TICS token beyond staking and speculation.

Cosmos SDK is a framework for building application-specific blockchains, used by major networks including Cosmos Hub, Binance Chain, Terra, Cronos, and Qubetics. It provides modular components for:

• Tendermint consensus: Fast finality and Byzantine fault tolerance
• Native staking: Built-in delegation and reward distribution
• Governance: On-chain proposal and voting systems
• IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication): Cross-chain asset and data transfer

Qubetics extends the standard Cosmos SDK with EVM compatibility, allowing Ethereum smart contracts to run on its network while maintaining Cosmos interoperability features.

EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) compatibility means a blockchain can execute smart contracts written for Ethereum without modification.

For developers: Deploy existing Solidity code, use familiar tools (Remix, Hardhat, Truffle), leverage the extensive Ethereum development ecosystem and documentation.

For users: Ethereum wallets like MetaMask work with the network, familiar interfaces and experiences.

Qubetics offers full EVM compatibility while running on Cosmos SDK, combining Ethereum's developer ecosystem with Cosmos's interoperability and staking features - a unique combination among Layer-1 blockchains.

Qubetics supports all Ethereum-compatible smart contracts written in Solidity:

• ERC-20 tokens
• ERC-721 and ERC-1155 NFTs
• DeFi protocols (DEXs, lending, yield aggregators)
• DAOs and governance contracts
• Gaming and metaverse applications
• Any custom logic

Developers can use familiar tools: Remix IDE, Hardhat, Truffle, Web3.js, and Ethers.js. The Qubetics Chain ID is 9030 for network configuration. Deployment costs are significantly lower than Ethereum mainnet.

The QBRT1 gaming ecosystem demonstrates live smart contract functionality on Qubetics.

Staking is the process of locking cryptocurrency tokens to help secure a Proof-of-Stake blockchain network. In return for supporting network security, stakers earn rewards - typically paid in the same token.

Key characteristics:

• No expensive hardware: Unlike mining, staking simply requires holding tokens
• Self-custody: Tokens remain in your wallet under your control
• Delegation: You delegate voting power to validators who run infrastructure
• Passive income: Rewards accumulate automatically

On Qubetics, staking TICS with validators like JBs LFG STRONGHOLD earns approximately 28.5% APY after commission. Staking is considered one of the safer forms of crypto passive income because tokens never leave your custody.

Proof of Stake (PoS) is a consensus mechanism where validators are chosen to create new blocks based on how many tokens they have staked (locked) as collateral.

Compared to Proof of Work (Bitcoin mining):

• Energy efficient - no massive computing power required
• Accessible - anyone can participate by delegating tokens
• Economic security - validators risk their stake if they misbehave

Qubetics uses PoS via the Cosmos SDK's Tendermint consensus, providing fast finality (transactions confirmed in seconds), low energy usage, and 30% staking APY for network participants.

A validator is a network node that processes transactions, creates new blocks, and maintains the security of a Proof-of-Stake blockchain. Validators:

• Stake tokens as collateral (skin in the game)
• Run specialized hardware with high uptime requirements
• Participate in consensus to validate transactions
• Earn rewards for honest participation
• Face slashing penalties for misbehavior

Delegators can stake their tokens with validators to share in the rewards without running their own node. Validators charge commission (5% for JBs LFG STRONGHOLD, the lowest possible) as compensation for operating infrastructure.

The Qubetics network offers a base staking APY of 30%. After validator commission, your effective APY depends on which validator you choose.

With JBs LFG STRONGHOLD at 5% commission (the lowest possible), delegators earn approximately 28.5% effective APY. APY may vary depending on network conditions.

This rate is:

• Significantly higher than traditional savings accounts
• Competitive with other Proof-of-Stake networks
• Sustainable through network inflation mechanics

Rewards are distributed automatically with each block and can be claimed at any time. You can compound rewards by claiming and restaking periodically.

Staking TICS is straightforward:

1. Get a compatible wallet: Download Keplr or Cosmostation (mobile or browser extension), or configure MetaMask for Qubetics (Chain ID 9030)
2. Acquire TICS: Purchase on MEXC, Coinstore, or LBank exchange and withdraw to your wallet using the Qubetics network
3. Connect to staking dashboard: Visit jblfg.dev/multiwallet-staking and connect your wallet
4. Select validator: Choose JBs LFG STRONGHOLD (or browse the validator directory)
5. Delegate: Enter the amount to stake (keep ~5 TICS for gas fees) and confirm the transaction

Your stake becomes active immediately and rewards start accumulating. Detailed step-by-step guides with screenshots are available on our staking guides page at jblfg.dev/staking-guides.

Staking rewards accumulate automatically with each block and can be claimed anytime:

1. Visit the JBs LFG STRONGHOLD staking dashboard at jblfg.dev/multiwallet-staking
2. Connect your wallet
3. Click "Claim Rewards"
4. Confirm the transaction in your wallet

Tips:

• Keep a small amount of TICS unstaked (~1-5 TICS) to cover gas fees
• You can claim from all validators at once or individually
• Consider claiming and restaking periodically to compound returns
• Alternatively, use your wallet's native interface (Keplr/Cosmostation) to claim directly

The unbonding period on Qubetics is 14 days. When you decide to unstake your tokens, they enter an unbonding state for 14 days before becoming available in your wallet.

Important considerations:

• You do not earn staking rewards during the unbonding period
• Plan ahead if you need liquidity by a specific date
• You can have multiple unbonding entries simultaneously
• This security feature exists across most PoS networks to prevent attacks

Redelegation allows you to move your staked tokens from one validator to another without waiting for the 14-day unbonding period. Your tokens continue earning rewards during the instant transfer.

This is useful for:

• Switching validators due to commission changes
• Moving away from validators with uptime issues
• Trying a different validator without losing staking time

Limitation: You can only redelegate from a specific validator once every 14 days to prevent network manipulation. Redelegation is a standard Cosmos SDK feature available on Qubetics.

Staking is generally considered one of the safer ways to earn yield in cryptocurrency because your tokens never leave your wallet - you maintain full custody throughout.

Risks to consider:

• Slashing: Rare penalty if validators misbehave (reputable validators like JBs LFG STRONGHOLD have never been slashed)
• Unbonding period: 14 days during which you cannot access tokens
• Market volatility: Token price can change regardless of staking rewards
• Validator risk: If your validator performs poorly, you may miss rewards

Staking with established, high-uptime validators significantly minimizes technical risks. Unlike lending platforms, there's no counterparty risk from third-party custodians.

Understanding staking risks helps you make informed decisions:

• Slashing risk: Validators can lose staked tokens if they double-sign or experience extended downtime. Reputable validators like JBs LFG STRONGHOLD with maximum uptime minimize this significantly.
• Liquidity risk: The 14-day unbonding period means you cannot quickly sell during market volatility.
• Market risk: TICS price can decrease regardless of staking rewards earned.
• Opportunity cost: Staked tokens cannot be used for trading, DeFi, or other activities.
• Validator risk: Choosing a poor validator may result in missed rewards or slashing.

These risks are generally lower than lending platforms or yield farming, making staking one of the safer yield-generating strategies in crypto.

Yes, you can stake from multiple wallets to the same validator. Each delegation is tracked separately by the blockchain.

You can also stake to multiple validators from the same wallet if you want to diversify. However, staking with a single trusted validator like JBs LFG STRONGHOLD simplifies:

• Reward tracking
• Tax reporting
• Portfolio management

The JBs LFG STRONGHOLD dashboard supports connecting multiple wallets to view combined statistics across all your delegations.

The JBs LFG STRONGHOLD staking dashboard at jblfg.dev provides comprehensive portfolio tracking:

• Current staked balance across all validators
• Pending rewards available to claim
• Historical reward accumulation
• Current and projected value at target prices
• Detailed transaction history

Connect your wallet to see personalized statistics. For delegators using multiple wallets, the multi-wallet feature aggregates data across all connected addresses. Tax reporting features export reward history in formats compatible with tax software.

Tax treatment of staking rewards varies by jurisdiction, but in most countries staking rewards are considered taxable income when received.

Common tax implications:

• Income tax: Rewards typically taxed as ordinary income at fair market value when claimed
• Capital gains: May apply when you later sell rewarded tokens
• Record keeping: Important to track all rewards with timestamps and values

The JBs LFG STRONGHOLD dashboard includes tax reporting tools that export your complete reward history formatted for common tax software.
