Staking

Home / Glossary Index / Staking

When you deposit your tokens/coins to a Staking Pool, used by a Validator, in order to gain a reward.

  • When you have staked some coins are not able to access those coins or use them for any other purpose.
  • The reward is usually set at a percentage of your ‘stake’ paid over a fixed period of time. In most cases, it is stated as an APY.
  • In many cases, you can unstake your coins whenever you wish but in some special cases you have to commit your coins for long periods (eg 96 months!)
  • Whilst staked the value of your coins can still go up and down!

 

How this site works:

We think it's important you understand the strengths and limitations of the site. We're a journalistic website and aim to provide the best Crypto focussed guides, tips, tools, and techniques, but we can't guarantee to be perfect, so do note you use the information at your own risk and we can't accept liability if things go wrong.

  • This info does not constitute financial advice, always do your own research on top to ensure it's right for your specific circumstances.
  • We don't as a general policy investigate the solvency of companies mentioned (how likely they are to go bust), but there is a risk any company can struggle and it's rarely made public until it's too late.
  • Do note, while we always aim to give you accurate product info at the point of publication, unfortunately, price and terms of products and deals can always be changed by the provider afterward, so double-check first.
  • We often link to other websites, but we can't be responsible for their content.
