Centrifuge aims to help 'borrowers' finance their real-world assets without using banks or other intermediaries. Centrifuge connects assets such as invoices, real estate, and royalties to DeFi.
Validators provide the technical abilities to be able to offer a secure and stable infrastructure.
Validators create new blocks on Centrifuge.
Not everyone has the know-how, time or ability to be a validator, however token holders can bond a portion of their CFG tokens in order to nominate a validator.
Nominating is the equivalent of staking.
When you bond tokens to nominate a validator, you are helping to secure the network and you will receive rewards for your assistance.
Your tokens will always remain your property and Staking4All cannot move your tokens anywhere.
Yes, you can 'unstake' your tokens at any time. The unstaking process involves that you stop nominating and then unbond your tokens. It takes 7 days for your tokens to unbond and become transferrable.
You can adjust your nominations and select other validators without needing to unbond tokens.
