Covalent Network is a Web 3.0 decentralized data infrastructure layer powered by the native CQT coin. Furthermore, Covalent offers a variety of attractive blockchain and Web3 development solutions.
To stake, pick an operator, click stake, and enter the amount of CQT to delegate. Following that, you must first authorize the contract communicating with your wallet (gas charge), and then initiate and confirm the transaction. You have officially staked your CQT after you have accomplished both of these steps.
Covalent is a protocol that collects data from various blockchain networks. Covalent attempts to gather granular information stored inside smart contracts that isn’t available with current technologies by completely indexing whole blockchains and accessing their data via a single API. In this way, Covalent wants to help developers have a better grasp of the whole blockchain ecosystem. Users will even be able to incorporate private business data after all blockchain data is indexed.
Covalent is gradually decentralizing and that will allow the Covalent Network to be owned and controlled by its users with the use of the CQT token:
Covalent is already demonstrating a wide range of applications. From taxation, where a trader can immediately obtain a CSV file of their transaction data, to NFTs, where NFT applications like ChainGuardians and Ethermon are now employing the Covalent API to not only enable innovative features unique to each project but also to enhance user experience.
To provide broader access to blockchain data, multiple roles such as validators, block-specimen producers, indexers, storage request responders, and others are required for data retrieval, storage, and query procedures. Learn more about them here. Covalent brings a great value to web3 developers and users and we’re excited to contribute as Block Specimen Producers, ensuring the accuracy of the distributed data.

Withdrawal Delay: 28 days for delegators and 6 months for operators.
Staking Limits: There is a ratio (currently 6:1, it will be upgraded to 10:1 in the short term, then up to governance) determining how much delegation an operator can receive on their own stake, ensuring operators have skin in the game. In addition, there are max. stake limitations in place to avoid centralization and to ensure the network grows in conjunction with its maturity.
Slashing: Currently, there is no slashing on the Covalent Network. Until slashing is live, network operators who produce Block Specimens with invalid proofs won’t receive rewards.
Re-Staking: Delegating is non-custodial. While CQT is held in the staking contract, it is only the owner of the respective staked CQT that can interact with it.
