**Cobra Stakes** is a [validator node](https://dashboard.radixdlt.com/network-staking/validator_rdx1swq3mn0u9qf68j6g3nugw3udakecggfgpu9e4yphe2rcqc32aavw9t) on the [Radix](/contents/tech/core-protocols/radix-engine) network, providing Proof-of-Stake infrastructure that delegators use to help secure the network and earn [staking](/contents/tech/core-concepts/staking) rewards. It is one of the network's larger validators and has no public-facing web presence: its branded domain, [cobrastakes.com](https://cobrastakes.com), has expired, while the node itself keeps proposing.

## Validator

Read live from the [Radix Gateway](/contents/tech/core-protocols/radix-gateway-api) at mainnet **epoch 335,407** (16 August 2026, 07:09 UTC), Cobra Stakes is **registered**, accepts delegated stake, and holds **92,918,353.30 XRD** – **rank 17 of the 187 registered validators** among 287 validator components on mainnet. Its stake has grown modestly since this page's previous reading of ≈92.4 million XRD at epoch 326958 on 17 July 2026.

Its fee is **15%**, and the ledger states that in two places rather than one. The validator's stored `validator_fee_factor` still reads `0.01`, while its `validator_fee_change_request` carries `new_fee_factor` `0.15` with an `epoch_effective` of **289094** – an epoch long past. The request that has come into effect is the fee actually charged; the substate field is the stale one. The same divergence holds across a large minority of the [validator set](/contents/tech/core-concepts/validator-nodes), so a fee read from `validator_fee_factor` alone can be wrong by a wide margin.

## The website

Cobra Stakes has no working site. Fetched with a browser user agent on **16 August 2026**, both `cobrastakes.com` and `www.cobrastakes.com` return HTTP 200 with a 10,881-byte registrar page titled “Your domain is expired” – a step down from the “Coming soon” placeholder this page recorded in July. The validator's on-ledger `info_url` metadata still points at `https://www.cobrastakes.com`, so a wallet or explorer following that link lands on the expired-domain page.

That is a presentation failure rather than an operational one, and the distinction matters: an expired domain says nothing about whether a node is proposing. [Leaf Node](/ecosystem/leafnode) is the contrasting case, where the website going dark coincided with an on-ledger `unregister`. Here the ledger record is unbroken.

## How to stake

To delegate to Cobra Stakes, open the [Radix Wallet](https://wallet.radixdlt.com), go to the Stake section, paste the validator address (`validator_rdx1sw…32aavw9t`), enter the amount of XRD to delegate and confirm the transaction. Staking rewards accrue automatically each epoch, net of the validator fee; unstaking is subject to the network's standard unstaking delay.
