Frequently asked questions
1. Leasing
Why should I lease my waves?
Leasing your waves allows you to 'mine' waves and other waves assets without having to run your own node. By leasing your waves you are also helping to secure the network.
What is minimum amount of waves I need to have to be able to lease them?
You can lease any amount of waves.
How to decide who to lease to?
First thing you should look for is lowest fees, at the moment most pools offer 0% fees which means you will be getting all rewards that your waves generates. Second thing you should look at is nodes size, basically the bigger the node is the more it will 'mine'.
If you lease out all of your Waves tokens, do you still receive Token Airdrops?
Yes, your Waves will never actually leave your wallet so you will still be getting all airdrops you would get if you were not leasing.
Why would i lease to node vs setup my own?
The bigger the node is the more fees it will generate so if for example you lease to 0% fee node and it has more waves than you do, you will get more than you would be if you ran your own node.
Is leasing safe?
Yes, leasing is absolutely safe. There is no way for you to lose your waves because of leasing.
Can I trade my leased waves?
No, if you want to trade your leased waves you will first have to cancel the lease and then you will be able do whatever you want with them
How often do you get reward?
It depends on node you lease to. Some do weekly payouts, some do more or less frequent. At the moment Fountain-perpetua node's dev is working on a solution to make it possible to view your rewards in real time and make and automatic daily payouts system.
If I recall my leased waves will I still get the reward when they are turned out?
Read terms and conditions, most of the miners require you to keep lease for 7 days, to qualify for payment.
Is leasing profitable?
As leasing doesnt cost anything and you are receiving rewards for leasing, yes, it is profitable.
How do I lease?
I wanted to lease some waves but it asks for some addresses? Where can i find these addresses?
You can find these addresses in waves community page.
