As the Tezos protocol evolves, so do our services. In response to the recent Paris upgrade, we’re updating how we operate our Tezos validator (aka Baker).
Staking vs Delegating: What's the Difference?
Delegating: You assign your XTZ to a validator (like us), and we participate in consensus on your behalf. Until now, rewards for delegators were distributed manually off-chain via payout scripts.
Staking: You stake your own XTZ directly to the validator and participate in consensus. Post-upgrade, rewards are distributed automatically by the Tezos protocol — no payout script required.
What’s Changing?
We will no longer support delegations to our Tezos validator.
Starting today, we’re giving you 20 days’ notice.
After this period, we will stop running our payout script for delegator rewards.
To continue earning rewards, we recommend staking your XTZ directly with our validator instead. We’ll be offering 0% commission for 3 months.
Key Information
0% Commission for 3 months until the end of October 2025
Notice period begins: Today
Payouts end: August 12th, 2025
TL;DR
We're retiring delegation support for Tezos.
Delegator rewards will no longer be paid after the notice period.
Switch to staking your XTZ directly with our validator to keep earning rewards on-chain.
How to Stake Your XTZ with Chorus One
Use a compatible wallet (e.g. Temple, Kukai).
Un-delegate if you’re currently delegating to any of Chorus One Bakers: Chorus One: tz1eEnQhbwf6trb8Q8mPb2RaPkNk2rN7BKi8 (Explorer) Chorus One 2: tz1Scdr2HsZiQjc7bHMeBbmDRXYVvdhjJbBh (Explorer)
Stake XTZ directly to our main Baker for optimum APY: Chorus One: tz1eEnQhbwf6trb8Q8mPb2RaPkNk2rN7BKi8 (Explorer)
Confirm that your wallet shows you're staking, not delegating.
