Operational notes

2-day withdrawal

NEAR has a relatively short unbonding period of 2 days.

Implicit addresses

When interacting with NEAR via StakeKit, you must use an Implicit NEAR address (64-character hex), not a Named address.

Validator pools

NEAR validators run staking pools. Each pool may have different fees.
