Staking Rewards Formula
Rewards = Principal × (1 + APY/n)^(n×t) - Principal
Where n = compounding periods per year, t = years. For simple APR: Principal × APR × time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Staking involves locking your crypto to support network operations (validation) in Proof-of-Stake blockchains. In return, you earn rewards, typically 3-20% APY depending on the network. Staked assets remain yours but may have an unstaking period.
APR is simple interest (rewards not reinvested). APY includes compound interest. 10% APR with monthly compounding = 10.47% APY. For accurate returns, check if rewards auto-compound or if you need to manually restake them.
Staking has risks: slashing (losing stake if validator misbehaves), lock-up periods (cant sell during crashes), smart contract bugs (in DeFi staking), and opportunity cost. Native staking on major networks (ETH, SOL) is relatively safe.
ETH: 3-5% APY (safest). SOL: 6-8%. ATOM: 15-20%. NEAR: 10-12%. Higher APY usually means higher inflation or risk. Liquid staking (stETH, mSOL) lets you use staked assets in DeFi while earning rewards.
