How do I stake NEAR with GetBlock?

Open a compatible NEAR wallet, navigate to its staking section, and search for getblockio.poolv1.near. Choose an amount, verify the complete pool address, and authorize the delegation from your wallet.

What is the GetBlock NEAR validator address?

The official GetBlock staking pool address is getblockio.poolv1.near. Always verify the complete address before confirming a staking transaction.

What commission does the GetBlock validator charge?

GetBlock charges a 7% validator commission. The fee applies to staking rewards rather than the original delegated principal.

Is staking NEAR with GetBlock non-custodial?

Yes. You initiate and authorize the delegation from your own wallet. GetBlock operates the validator but does not receive your private keys or wallet credentials.

When do NEAR staking rewards begin?

Rewards normally begin after the delegation becomes active in the next NEAR epoch. The exact timing depends on when the transaction is confirmed within the current epoch.

How long does it take to unstake NEAR?

Native NEAR staking uses an unbonding period measured in epochs. After the period ends, the unstaked NEAR becomes available to withdraw through your wallet.

Is there a minimum amount of NEAR required?

The GetBlock validator does not impose a minimum delegation amount, although users should retain enough NEAR in their wallet to cover transactions.

Are NEAR staking rewards guaranteed?

No. Staking rewards vary according to network conditions, validator performance, commission, total network stake, and protocol parameters.

WHY DELEGATE HERE

Validating is our second NEAR product. Reading the chain was our first.

GetBlock already keeps NEAR RPC infrastructure running for builders. The validator extends the same operating stack: monitoring, reliability controls, and transparent on-chain economics.

NEAR RPC since 2022

NEAR node operations, endpoint monitoring, and builder support before validator launch.

On-chain performance, not promises

Track validator status, stake, commission, and epoch performance directly on NEAR.

Rewards compound automatically

Protocol rewards are added back to your staked balance: no manual restaking required.

Your keys stay with you

Delegate from your own NEAR wallet. GetBlock runs the validator; you authorize every transaction.

DELEGATING TAKES FOUR STEPS

Stake without giving up custody

Delegation is a contract call from your own wallet. GetBlock never takes custody of your NEAR, and you can unstake anytime subject to the network's standard unbonding window.

01
Open a NEAR wallet
Meteor Wallet, HERE Wallet, MyNearWallet, or a Ledger-connected wallet all support staking natively.
02
Search the pool
Find getblockio.poolv1.near under your wallet staking or validators tab.
03
Enter an amount
There is no minimum delegation. Stake any amount of NEAR you hold.
04
Confirm and earn
Review the pool address and amount in your wallet. Staking rewards typically begin after the delegation becomes active in the next epoch.

Backed from day one by Meta Pool

Meta Pool supported GetBlock from launch as an anchor delegator, bringing ecosystem trust to the validator.

500,542 NEAR

Initial delegation at launch

The relationship goes beyond stake. GetBlock and Meta Pool are collaborating on ecosystem reliability, visibility, and benefits for NEAR builders using GetBlock infrastructure.
