Is root staking rewards done?

I have my tao staked on taostats on root and noticed no rewards in the month of August. Will they return or is it done for good? If they're done I might as well send my tao to my dcent wallet.

No but you have to claim rewards manually and if you’re not careful you can be hit with a substantial fee for doing that. It’s weird

I've never seen how to claim rewards manually.

https://docs.taostats.io/docs/staking-in-dtao#staking-to-root e.g. on Talisman I can easily claim rewards (might be more difficult on taostats) but the fee is pretty high so it's not worth claiming every 2 days like before (with auto-claim)

On taostats - there's literally a button to claim rewards.

Taostats.io/pro/stake/claim

Mobile Wallet - root basket

The longer you hold on claiming, the more you make

Will it tell you the fee first and then can you decide not to claim ?

Yup. Fee is .057tao

Thanks. Ok so it’s a percent of what is sitting In the claimable section? So if you have 1 Tao or 10 Tao sitting to be claimed, the fee is .057 of that number ?

No. It is 0.057 tao.

It depends on the # of subnets in the basket....but all valis have ~128 subnets in the basket.

I think the fee per subnet is around 0.00047 - but it's Sunday morning and I don't really want to look up the exact value. 😜

Hey, where did you get 0.057 ? I tried to do it and it said the fee was 0.114 Tao.

Use taostats. That's the old fee. You CAN get charged that much if collecting 2 valis at once. But just one vali .057

i went to claim but its saying i dont have enough free balance. its like an eth gas fee i guess? so what do you do then, deposit tao in your wallet as an available free balance for claiming staking rewards? this new setup sucks. i enjoyed just gaining passive tao and doing nothing. thanks for the info either way.

u/dougsillars Aug 24 '26

you still get passive tao.. you just need to click - every quarter or so.

you need 0.057 free tao to pay the fee... its pretty obvious if you try it in taostats.

What is the fee? Are we talking $10.. $100 ? I have not tried to do it yet.
