How we calculate
Monthly TIA per validator = (validator stake) × (chain staking APR) × (commission rate) ÷ 12. APR is gross, before any commission or slashing. A validator that self-stakes earns more in practice because their commission also applies to their own delegation.
Break-even stake = monthly hardware cost × 12 ÷ (TIA price × APR × 20% assumed commission). Use the calculator above to plug in your own commission to get a personalised threshold.
Inflation and APR come live from cosmos REST /mint/annual_provisions, divided by total bonded stake. Hardware costs are public list prices from each provider (Hetzner, OVH, Latitude.sh, Vultr, etc.) verified on 2026-05-15 — subject to change without notice, follow the links to confirm.
