Enter the annual percentage yield offered by the staking platform or protocol. APY rates vary by network and can change over time.
3. Period & Compounding
Set how long you plan to stake and how often rewards are compounded. Daily compounding earns more than monthly due to the compounding effect.

EDUCATION
Understanding Crypto Staking
Staking is the process of locking up cryptocurrency in a proof-of-stake Blockchain network to help validate transactions and secure the network. In return, stakers receive rewards, typically expressed as an annual percentage yield (APY). The rewards come from newly minted tokens and transaction fees collected by the network.
Compounding frequency significantly impacts your total returns. With daily compounding, your rewards are added to your staked balance each day, so you start earning rewards on your rewards sooner. Over long periods, the difference between daily and monthly compounding can be substantial.
- done_all APY vs. APR: APY includes compounding; APR does not. A 5% APR compounded daily yields an effective APY of about 5.13%.
- done_all Lock-Up Periods: Some staking protocols require a lock-up period during which you cannot withdraw your funds.
- done_all Validator Risk: If a validator acts maliciously, staked funds may be slashed. Choose reputable validators or platforms.
- done_all Tax Implications: Staking rewards are generally taxable as income when received, and gains on sale are subject to capital gains tax.
