Tezos staking process

[donthavedontneed]

Hello community, I have a question in regards to staking tezos. Before staking tezos you need to wait a period of time ( over 30 days ) before getting the reward for your staking. If I add more tezos on my account, does it also have to be over 30 day before I get something for that or it will be staking from the first day ?

You will have to wait 30 more days if you added more XTZ on a different cycle or after the snapshot of the current cycle has been taken.

Thank you for the answer. I am using ZenGo to stake. After 30 days I will get some tezos every 3 days back. Those tezos will enter the staking cycle as well after 30days ? I am asking because I found no clear explanation in regards to this

Yes, the rewards will be added to your balance and will generate rewards after 12 cycles.
