Wallets
If you want to send your ROSE from one account to another, it is mandatory to undelegate. Tokens delegated are locked with the signature of one public key. You cannot transfer this signature while Coins are locked. Remember the unbounding period is 14 days. The validator takes its commission from your rewards when they are distributed. This happens every epoch (approx. 1 hour)
The total amount you see in your wallet includes auto-compounded rewards. At that time, the Validator already got their commission.
Technical
Some consequences of the design: deposited rose remains in the total supply of the consensus layer. It’s held under an account that belongs to the paratime. Within the paratime, a new “native denomination” is minted. That native denomination is still labeled “rose” for simplicity. But right, in consensus it doesn’t get burned. Because paratimes aren’t permitted to mint rose in the consensus layer. It only holds on to it, and it transfers it out when people withdraw.
Creating a new block on Emerald takes somehwere between 6 and 8 seconds, depending on how congested the network is. You can see more information about blocks here :
Tokens
You can’t transfer directly from CEX to Emerald/Sapphire. First you need to send to the web wallet as web and extension wallets are native so they can withdraw and deposit to CEX. From there you can send funds to your Metamask wallet to use on emerald. Or you can bridge directly into Metamask from other networks, but as we saw earlier, not all pairs are supported. You can follow the steps from this tutorial: https://docs.oasis.io/general/manage-tokens/how-to-transfer-rose-into-paratime/
Transactions
Stuck Transaction
1. Open your MetaMask plugin.
2. Click on the colorful circle icon on the top-right and click Settings from the dropdown menu.
3. In the Settings menu, select Advanced.
4. Scroll down until you see Advanced gas controls. Toggle this to ON.
5. Still in Advanced settings, keep scrolling until you see Customize transaction nonce. Toggle this to ON. Find the transaction that’s stuck, and make a note of the “nonce”.
6. Go back to the top page of MetaMask. In the “Assets” tab, find the token type of your stuck transaction
7. In the token’s menu, find your Pending transaction in the Queue area. Click on your transaction for more details.
8. Look for the Nonce entry, and take note of this number.
9. Create a new transaction to replace your stuck transaction. This time around, increase the Transaction Fee. Make sure the new transaction has a higher gas price than the stuck transaction. This will make it more likely for your transaction to be added to a block.
10. On the confirmation page, make sure your Gas Price is now at your new, higher amount.
11. Find the CUSTOM NONCE entry and change the nonce to the number you wrote down in step 8. Now click Confirm.
12. Your new transaction should now be accepted into a block. To check, open MetaMask and click the Activity tab.
13. Your completed transaction should show at the top of your Activity list. If it still says “Pending” in orange you’ll need to wait a little longer, or try the process again with an even higher transaction fee (gas price).Since no wallet can create two transactions of the same nonce, if the replacement transaction you make is successful, your stuck transaction will be canceled.

No, Oasis doesn’t have a burning mechanism. We have a finite supply of tokens and the tokens are returned to the on-chain common stake pool.

If you just make a Send transaction to BinanceStaking address oasis1qqekv2ymgzmd8j2s2u7g0hhc7e77e654kvwqtjwm then your ROSE coins are not staked. They are now owned by BinanceStaking, which means they are not lost but only owned and managed by them. In this case, you should contact Binance via their Support Center or Submit a request.
INFO
Sending ROSE is different than staking it! With the staking transaction you lend your ROSE to the chosen validator and you are rewarded for that. Sending your ROSE to the receiving address you enter means that only the person who owns the private key (e.g. mnemonics) of that receiving address can manage these tokens and no one else. To learn more, read the Staking and Delegating chapter.
Withdrawals from Emerald are slightly different from regular staking.Transfer transactions used to send ROSE on the consensus layer. If you withdrew your ROSE directly to an exchange and you were not funded there, contact the exchange support and provide them the link to your account on the Oasis Scan where they can verify all transactions. To learn more about this issue, read the How to Transfer ROSE to ParaTime section.
No, but you can use the Emerald Paratime. Please see the documentation:

There is, it is the faucet for the testnet and you can request to get them there, but they don’t transfer into Rose tokens later, they are just test tokens.

The common pool has the tokens set aside for rewards that are distributed with on-chain logic, which is the staking rewards. to distribute the staking rewards, the network moves tokens from the common pool to validators’ active escrow pools. the network records an AddEscrow event when this happens. moving tokens into these pools without creating new shares (note that the new shares field is zero) increases the value of existing delegators’ shares.
Emerald explorer doesn’t show consensus transactions. The Emerald explorer would probably leave out fees paid in non-ethereum-format transactions.
The node has a grpc API that you can use to watch for new consensus blocks and get their transactions.

You can’t transfer directly from CEX to Emerald. First you need to send to the wallet extension, as extension wallet is native so you can withdraw and deposit to CEX. From there you can send funds to your metamask wallet to use on Emerald. Or you can bridge directly into metamask from other networks, but as we saw earlier, not all pairs are supported.
