Delegation and staking
Beam users can delegate BEAM and Node Tokens to validators through the Beam staking dashboard while supporting network security and validation.
Validator service
Beam Validator
Highly available GCNLab validator for Beam staking and delegation.
Service overview
Delegate or stake to the GCNLab Beam validator.
GCNLab operates a Beam validator for users who want to participate in Beam network validation without running validator infrastructure themselves. Delegators can stake BEAM and/or Node Tokens with the GCNLab validator and participate in the Beam reward system.
Fixed 1.00% commission
The GCNLab Beam validator uses a 1.00% commission. The remaining validator rewards are distributed to delegators according to Beam network rules.
High uptime
Uptime is important for Beam rewards. Beam documentation states that nodes with 80% or higher uptime receive full rewards, while lower uptime results in a linear reward reduction.
Maintained by GCNLab
The validator is operated as part of the broader GCNLab infrastructure platform, with monitoring, maintenance, and reliability as priorities.
Beam reward structure
Rewards depend on stake weight, network activity, and uptime.
Beam primary rewards come from transaction gas fees on the Beam network and are distributed based on active validators, BEAM staked, and network transaction volume. Beam secondary rewards are designed around ecosystem rewards and validator incentives, with 80% based on staked Node Token weight and 20% based on staked BEAM weight.
Primary rewards
Primary rewards consist of Beam network gas fees and are paid in BEAM to active validators and BEAM delegators according to network reward rules.
Secondary rewards
Secondary rewards include broader ecosystem rewards and validator incentive grants. The allocation uses both Node Token staking weight and BEAM staking weight.
Node Token weight
For secondary rewards, 80% is based on the weight of staked Node Tokens across validators and delegators.
BEAM stake weight
For secondary rewards, 20% is based on the weight of staked BEAM across validators and delegators.
