All staking transactions of Matic happen on Ethereum for security reasons. The time taken to complete a transaction depends on the gas fees that you have allowed and also the network congestion of Ethereum mainnet at that point in time. You can always use the “Speed Up” option to increase the gas fees so that your transaction can be completed soon

Currently, the Metamask extension on the desktop browser, Coinbase Wallet are supported. Also, you can use Frontier wallet, WalletConnect, and Walletlink from supported mobile wallets to interact with the Staking UI dashboard on desktop/laptop. The complete list of the supported wallets can be found here https://awesomepolygon.com/wallets/

Yes, hardware wallets are supported. You can use the "Connect Hardware Wallet" option on Metamask and connect your Hardware wallet and then continue the delegation process.

Staking through Binance is not yet supported. There will be an announcement if and when Binance starts supporting it.

Once you have completed your delegation, wait for 12 block confirmations on Ethereum (~3-5 minutes), then on the Dashboard, you can click on the “My Delegator Details” option on the left-hand side. Or you could also click on the “Show Delegator Profile” card.

The rewards are distributed whenever a checkpoint is submitted. Currently, 20188 Matic tokens are distributed proportionately on each successful checkpoint submission to each delegator based on their stake relative to the overall staking pool of all validators and delegators. Also, the percentage for the reward distributed to each delegator will vary with each checkpoint depending on the relative stake of the delegator, validator and the overall stake. (Note that there is a 10% proposer bonus that accrues to the validator who submits the checkpoint, but over time, the effect of the extra bonus is nullified over multiple checkpoints by different validators.) The checkpoint submission is done by one of the validators approximately every 34 minutes. This time is approximate and may vary based on validator consensus on the Matic Heimdall layer. This may also vary based on Ethereum Network. Higher congestion in the network may result in delayed checkpoints. You can track checkpoints on the staking contract here: https://etherscan.io/address/0x86e4dc95c7fbdbf52e33d563bbdb00823894c287

Actual rewards earned will depend on the actual total locked supply in the network at each checkpoint. This is expected to vary significantly as more MATIC tokens get locked in the staking contracts. Rewards will be higher, to begin with, and will keep decreasing as the locked supply % goes up. This change in locked supply is captured at every checkpoint, and rewards are calculated based on this.

You can claim your rewards instantly by clicking on the “New Rewards” card and then clicking on the Withdraw rewards button. This will transfer the rewards accumulated to your delegated account on Metamask.
