Petra staking — common questions
Why is the minimum stake 11 APT?
Aptos delegation pools require an 11 APT minimum to participate. Below that, you can't delegate directly — but liquid staking via Tortuga, Amnis, or thala-apt allows smaller amounts.
How fast can I unstake?
At the end of the current epoch (~2 hours). Compared to Cosmos's 21-day unbonding, Aptos is among the fastest L1s for stake redemption.
