Why Do Staking Rewards Sometimes Arrive Late?

Maybe it’s happened to you — you’re waiting for your staking rewards, and… nothing shows up. Don’t worry — your coins are perfectly safe. The payout is just waiting for a little manual “push.”

What’s Really Going On (in plain English)

Every action on the blockchain needs to be sent as a transaction — and that includes staking payouts. In our system, every 100 stakes are grouped into one pool, and each pool is processed independently. This helps optimize performance and gas usage across multiple transactions. These payouts are usually triggered automatically by Gelato – a network for smart contract automation. Think of it as a robotic courier that sends your transactions right on time. 🤖

Where Things Can Get Stuck

Even the best robots have their off days. When the network gets congested, gas fees spike, or Gelato hits operational limits, the automated transaction may fail to execute. When that happens, your reward doesn’t disappear — it simply stays queued, waiting to be claimed. You just need to manually trigger the transaction, and your payout will arrive shortly after.

What Is Gelato and Why Do We Use It?

Gelato Network is an automation infrastructure for smart contracts. In simple terms — it does the blockchain “button pressing” for you. In 99% of cases, everything runs like clockwork. But when the network is overloaded or the system encounters an issue, Gelato needs a little human help — a manual claim. That’s why you can rest assured that your staking rewards are never lost — they just wait until they’re sent.
