        Solana
      </th>
    </tr>
  </thead>

  <tbody>
    <tr>

        Minimum Staking Amount
      </td>

      <td style={{ textAlign: "left" }}>

      </td>

      </td>

      <td style={{ textAlign: "left" }}>

    <tr>
      <td style={{ textAlign: "left" }}>
        Unbonding Time
      </td>

      <td style={{ textAlign: "left" }}>
        The unbonding period is 2 - 4 days & 1 epoch.
      </td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td style={{ textAlign: "left" }}>
        Slashing Risk
      </td>

      <td style={{ textAlign: "left" }}>
        On Solana, slashing is not automatic.  

        If an attacker halts the network, they can be slashed upon restart.  

        When a validator is slashed, both the token holders and the validator suffer losses – token holders lose a portion of their delegation, and the validator's total delegation decreases.
      </td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td style={{ textAlign: "left" }}>
        Staking Rewards Distribution
      </td>

      <td style={{ textAlign: "left" }}>
        Solana staking rewards are paid every 2-3 days, issued in the following epoch's first block, and automatically re-delegated as an active stake.
      </td>

    <tr>
      <td style={{ textAlign: "left" }}>
        Staking Rewards Compound
      </td>

      <td style={{ textAlign: "left" }}>

      </td>

      <td style={{ textAlign: "left" }}>

      <td style={{ textAlign: "left" }}>
        The Solana inflation/emission rate will start at 8% and decrease by 15% annually until it reaches a long-term inflation of 1.5%.
