# FIP-101: Guide for Staking Users

FIP-101 introduces Fractal's Standard Indexing Service, a framework designed to make indexing more open, permissionless, and economically aligned with the network. It enables indexers to participate in maintaining Fractal’s indexing layer, while FB holders can stake FB to support indexers. Index Mining is the block reward mechanism for this system, distributing FB rewards to eligible indexers and stake participants who help support the indexing network.

### Index Mining Staking Rewards

Rewards during public testing will follow the official Index Mining mechanism and block reward of 25 FB per block.

However, to keep the rollout stable, rewards will follow a linear release schedule — the proportion of each block reward distributed will gradually increase over time, eventually reaching 100%.

This means: 

• Stage 1: The release percentage starts at 30% (7.5 FB per block) and increases with each block until it reaches 60%. 

• Stage 2: The release percentage starts at 60% (15 FB per block) and continues increasing until it reaches 100% (25 FB per block) 

\
**Please note** that rewards from each block will become claimable after a 7-day settlement period. As a result, rewards earned during the first 7 days after joining Stage 1 will not be immediately available for claiming. Please wait for the settlement period to complete.

#### 1. Browse the Indexer List

In the Indexer List panel, you can view all current indexers, along with their Stake Share and Fee Ratio.

* Stake Share refers to the proportion of FB staked on that indexer compared to the total FB staked across all indexers.
* Commission is the percentage of an index operator’s allocated FB staking rewards that is charged by the index operator as a fee.

You can click View Details on the right side of each indexer to see more information about that indexer.\
Note: If you are an index operator, you can click Register indexer on the right side of the page to apply as one of the test index operators for Fractal index mining.

Tips:

1. After staking is completed, the system will transfer staked FB to your dedicated staking address and record your association with the selected indexer on-chain.
2. Minimum Stake per Address = 50 FB

📌 Reward allocation takes place after a settlement window of 20160 blocks (\~ 7 days). Users will be able to claim rewards after settlement cycle.<br>

#### 3. View and Claim Your Staking Rewards

Staking rewards must be **claimed manually**.Click **My Staking** in the navigation bar to open your staking dashboard.There you will be able to view:

### How to Unstake

* There is no lock-up period, and you can unstake at any time.
* To unstake, simply transfer FB out of your staking address to any address.
* The system will automatically detect the balance change and update your staking status.
