Bridging $EWT

Your EWT functionality in three steps

01

Connect your Wallet

Connect your web3 wallet to the Energy Web platform

02

Bridge Your EWT

Bridge your EWT between supported chains via the audited Energy Bridge for multichain utility.

03

Stake your EWT

Stake your EWT to support network security and receive protocol rewards (variable, not guaranteed, exposed to slashing risk).

Why Stake EWT?

Secure the network, support decentralization, and take part in Energy Web’s ecosystem.

Secure the Network

Your staked EWT strengthens the chain, keeping it reliable and resilient.

Power Decentralization

Every stake contributes to a more open, community-driven ecosystem.

Delegate with Choice

Support the collators you trust and help shape network performance.

Built by Energy Web to give you full control of your $EWT in a safe, transparent environment.

Energy Web Technology

Energy Web’s technology architecture consists of two primary layers – the core blockchain layer (Energy Web X) and the off-chain business logic computation layer (Energy Web Verified Compute).

‍Energy Web X (EWX) is the Energy Web blockchain network, a Polkadot parachain using Nominated Proof-of-Stake and supporting on-chain governance and bridging EWT to Ethereum and other blockchain platforms for wider utility.

For more information on the Energy Web technology and its diverse applications, serving to decarbonise and optimise operations in energy and other industries, please see https://www.energyweb.org >

Audited & Secure

Independent reviews (security audits) ensure the Energy Web network meets the highest security standards.

Community Governed

A decentralized approach puts the power in the hands of the token holders and stakers.

Frequently asked questions

What is staking?

Staking is the process of locking up tokens to help secure the network.

What is delegated staking?

Delegated staking means that you do not need to run a validator node yourself. Instead, you “delegate” your EWT to an existing validator (termed collator) who operates the technical infrastructure to support network functionality and security. Delegators share in both rewards and potential slashing if the chosen collator malperforms.

Which chain is secured by the EWT staking mechanism

Staking EWT secures the Energy Web X (EWX) chain.

What is a Collator?

A collator is the parachain block producer on EWX (distinct from Relay Chain validators). Collators are selected based on stake and must adhere to rules or face slashing.

What is a Nominator?

A token holder who stakes EWT in favor of one or more Collators, to support them and share in risks and rewards. Nominators help decentralize validation without running a node themselves.

What’s the difference between ‘current pool reward rate’ and ‘your estimated reward rate’?

A validator (collator) pool is the total stake delegated to a specific collator (their own locked tokens plus all delegations).

Pool reward rate (APY): the annualized rate a select staking pool has been earning based on the collator’s performance, pool size/saturation, and pool operator (collator) commission. It describes the pool’s results, not your future return.

Your estimated reward rate (APY): a projection estimating compensation for your delegation amount and timing after the pool commission and dilution effects; it often differs from the pool’s headline rate, especially in crowded pools.

Both figures are derived from recent reward issuance under current protocol parameters and network usage. If these change (e.g., via on-chain governance or network activity), APY will also change. Rewards (compensation for delegating tokens) are variable and not guaranteed; slashing risk applies.

At which staking period are the rewards triggered?

Under current parameters, rewards typically start from the third era after staking. Rewards are variable and not guaranteed, and parameters may change in the future via onchain governance.

What is the period for unbonding / unstaking tokens so that you may be free to use them for another function?

There is a 2 era delay period for unbonding.

During lock/unbonding, your stake remains subject to protocol slashing rules.

What is the minimum amount to stake and the max amount?

Min staking amount is 1 EWT

Can staked EWT be taken away from me (slashed)?

Yes. If the collator you selected violates protocol rules (e.g., equivocation, extended downtime), a portion of your delegated stake can be slashed as part of the network's penalty mechanism.

Who pays staking rewards?

Rewards are distributed by the protocol based on network rules (fees/governance‑set emissions). The Energy Web X protocol does not pay an interest on the token or guarantee returns.

What is EWX?

Energy Web X (EWX) is the Energy Web blockchain network, a Polkadot parachain using Nominated Proof-of-Stake and supporting on-chain governance and bridging EWT to Ethereum and other blockchain platforms for wider utility.

What is EWF?

Energy Web Foundation (EWF) is a global non-profit organization promoting and developing new technologies and applications, especially in the fields of new open and decentralized software architectures, with a focus on the promotion and development of the Energy Web Platform. Not to be confused with the Energy Web network governance and operation, which is decentralized, currently evolving from EWC validators to EWX network with on-chain governance of all token holders and a multitude of other operational and supporting bodies and functions, such as Collators, Nominators, and others. EWF’s role is roughly analogous to the Ethereum Foundation’s role for Ethereum – a steward and supporter, not a controller of the platform and the token.

What is EWT?

Energy Web Token (EWT) is the native first-layer token of Energy Web. Initially launched on EWC (2019), now a native token on Ethereum (ERC-20) and operating on EWX via bridges. It has a fixed supply cap of 100M. EWT is used for staking, network fees, governance, and as the value unit in the ecosystem for purchase and sale of deployed blockchain services.

What is ERC-20 EWT

ERC-20 EWT is the Ethereum-based incarnation of EWT - not a wrapped token – it is EWT. Essentially, Ethereum is a host for EWT representing the same asset that exists on EWX.

What is the Energy Bridge?

The Energy Bridge is Energy Web’s native, non-custodial, and only official mechanism to move EWT across supported chains while preserving total supply 1:1. On EWX, transfers are finalized by mint/burn; on Ethereum and EWC, transfers use lock/unlock (note: EWC is lift-only to EWX; lowering back to EWC is not supported). All movements are validated on-chain by the EWX collator/validator set, which authorizes the bridge contracts on Ethereum and EWC. The bridge is a technical transfer function only, it does not provide yields, alter ownership rights, or constitute any type of financial advice.

What is on-chain Governance or OpenGov?

On-chain governance or OpenGov refers to the envisaged governance system on EWX where decisions are made by token-weighted voting on proposals, with transparent rules and on-chain enactment. OpenGov is an evolved governance model initially developed by Polkadot and improving over time with implementation across the Polkadot and other ecosystems. The completion of the network’s transition from chain validators to onchain governance by token holders is planned for the second phase of the technology and governance upgrade.
