Operational notes

7-day unbonding

BNB has a fixed 7-day unbonding period. Plan exits accordingly.

Redelegation

You can redelegate stakes to a different validator at any time, provided you have at least 1 BNB staked after redelegation. A 0.02% redelegation fee applies to discourage frequent switching.

Precision loss

During conversion between BNB and govBNB when staking, integer division may cause precision loss. If exactly 1 BNB is staked, the staked balance may show as 0.999…99 BNB, which could prevent redelegation (requires 1 BNB minimum).
