Stake KSM on Kusama two ways: nominate validators directly, or join a nomination pool. Both are native staking; neither issues a receipt token. The mechanics mirror Polkadot staking, on Kusama’s own network and unbonding schedule.

Yields

​
Key facts

​
Enter and exit

Validator staking takes amount and a required validatorAddresses array, up to 16 validators. Pool staking takes amount and a required validatorAddress, the pool’s identifier. Exit uses the same arguments for both; each unbonds the staked amount, and after the 7-day unbonding period the balance is claimed with a pending action.
Exits are subject to a 7-day unbonding period before withdrawal is available, for both yields.
