In the Cere network, the process of unbonding affects the receipt of staking rewards. This FAQ article explores the details of receiving staking rewards during the unbonding period.
During the unbonding period in Cere, staking rewards are not received. This means that if you are in the process of unbonding your CERE tokens, you will not accumulate any additional rewards during this time.
You will, however, receive the staking rewards for the last era in which you unbonded. This ensures that the rewards earned up until the point of unbonding are still credited to your account.
If your rewards destination is set to compound the rewards with your stash, that will result in that amount being bonded even after you unbond. This can affect your overall staking strategy, and careful planning is required.
In the case where you are compounding rewards, you may want to chill (stop nominating) in one era and unbond in the next within the Cere Explorer. This approach allows you to manage your staking and unbonding process more effectively, ensuring that you maximize your rewards while maintaining control over your CERE tokens.
Unbonding in the Cere network has specific implications for staking rewards. While rewards are not received during the unbonding period, the rewards for the last era in which you unbonded are still obtainable. Understanding how compounding and unbonding interact is essential for effective staking management in the Cere network.
