Staking your GLMRGo to page [object Object] on Moonbeam remains one of the easiest ways to earn while supporting the network, but picking which block producer (also known as collator) to delegate to can feel like a guessing game. StakeGLMR.comGo to page [object Object] changes that. Built by community members for community members, the site surfaces real‑time data on every Moonbeam collator so you can make faster, smarter delegation decisions and boost your effective APR in the process. It’s easy to start staking with the official Moonbeam dAppGo to page [object Object], and keeping StakeGLMR open on a split screen gives you live APR, diversity, and unbonding intel to steer every delegation decision.
Why Collator Choice Matters
Moonbeam’s parachain‑staking module rewards block producers for the amount of work (blocks produced) done in a specific time frame. Delegators are then rewarded proportionally to the stake they own for a given collator. When a collator’s backing stake balloons, the same reward pie is divided among more tokens, lowering everyone’s cut. Conversely, a collator with modest backing (but enough to stay in the active set) often delivers higher percentage rewards. Choosing between a collator with a large backing stake for stability and one with a smaller stake for a higher APR is a delicate balancing act.
StakeGLMR has lots of helpful metrics. Let’s break down each one and take a closer look at how they can help you select a suitable collator:
Metric | What It Tells You | Why It Matters |
Current APR | Real-time estimate of APR (note this fluctuates and is not guaranteed) | Quick way to spot above‑average earners |
Collator Age | Real-time estimate of APR (note this fluctuates and is not guaranteed) | Identify seasoned, long‑standing collators for added stability |
Backing Delegations (Pink) | Cumulative GLMR currently backing the collator | Gauge reward dilution and pool stability |
Backing Delegations (Gray) | Cumulative GLMR currently backing the collator, minus GLMR currently being unstaked | More realistic metric of the total backing collator stake |
Delegator Diversity | 0-100 metric where a higher score represents greater number of unique delegators | Higher score = less risk of a single whale exit |
Missed Blocks (1 year) | Blocks the collator failed to produce in the last year | Persistent misses can signal reliability problems |
