Claiming rewards

Intro

When you stake your coins on a validator, you help it get the opportunity to generate blocks and vote for other creators' blocks.

In return, the validator will share part of its profits with you.

When the validator is working, rewards are accrued to the validator's storage.

However, only you have the right to take your rewards - so your funds are safe. Neither the validator itself, nor any of the stakers will be able to take what was earned by your stake.

In this tutorial, we will show you how to take your reward after you have been a staker of the pool for some time

Tip: How to check how much you received

On the page with info about validator you can find the list of stakers below

Now if you paste your address into the searchbar, you will see your address and the total number of coins you received during the staking

Method 1 - via user interface

Method 2 - programmatic way using SDK

In order to receive your rewards, you need to call the getRewardFromPool() method of the system smart contract system/staking

import Web1337 from 'web1337';


let web1337 = new Web1337({

    chainID:'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa',
    workflowVersion:0,
    nodeURL: 'http://localhost:7332' // set your own URL

});


let keypair = {

    pub:"3JAeBnsMedzxjCMNWQYcAXtwGVE9A5DBQyXgWBujtL9R",

    prv:"MC4CAQAwBQYDK2VwBCIEIDteWfNev7NOlNmwP8Irwg5miWKoErYGV+UU5VrFgYev"

};

const shardID = "shard_0";


let payload = {

    shard: shardID,

    contractID:'system/staking',

    method:'getRewardFromPool',

    gasLimit:0,

    params:{

        poolToGetRewardsFrom:'9GQ46rqY238rk2neSwgidap9ww5zbAN4dyqyC7j5ZnBK'

    },

    imports:[]

};


const fee = 2;

const nonce = await web1337.getAccount(shardID,keypair.pub).then(account=>account.nonce+1);

const txType = "WVM_CALL";

let tx = web1337.createEd25519Transaction(shardID,txType,keypair.pub,keypair.prv,nonce,fee,payload);

console.log(tx);

web1337.sendTransaction(tx).then(value =>{

    console.log('Sent => ',value)

    console.log(`TX ID is => `,web1337.blake3(tx.sig))

}).catch(err=>console.error('Error: ',err));

Output:

Sent =>  { status: 'OK' }
TX ID is =>  ac19fd2f0c98df692884e278b55e0d6cdf50a00c71ce2cdffa7e4ffbd883e72a

Using this TXID you can also check the status via explorer:

If the transaction is successful, you will receive your rewards in 2 epochs.
