Put idle crypto to work with staking.
Earn network rewards on eligible assets you already hold, on flexible or fixed terms.
Staking lets you commit certain crypto assets to help support a blockchain network and, in return, earn rewards over time. With Anchor Derivatives you can do this from the same account you trade in. Reward rates change with network conditions and are never guaranteed, and the value of the asset you stake can fall — so your capital is at risk.
How staking works here
Simple to start, with the trade-offs stated up front.
Flexible or fixed terms
Choose flexible staking, where you can unstake when you need to, or a fixed term that locks your assets for a set period. Fixed terms may offer a higher rate but reduce your access.
Rewards paid regularly
Rewards accrue while your assets are staked and are credited to your account. The rate is an estimate, moves with the network, and can go down as well as up.
Eligible assets
Staking is available on selected assets only. Each asset has its own rate, minimum and terms, shown before you confirm.
You decide how much
Stake an amount that suits you, keeping enough outside staking for your own needs. Only commit crypto you can afford to leave locked and potentially lose value on.
Any reward rates shown on the platform are estimates only. They vary over time, are not guaranteed, and your staked capital remains at risk.
The risks to weigh first
Staking can earn rewards, but it is not risk-free. Understand these before you start:
- Rewards are variable and not guaranteed. Published rates can change at any time and can fall to zero.
- Your funds may be locked. Fixed terms and unstaking delays mean you may not be able to sell or withdraw even if the market drops.
- The asset can fall in value. A drop in the price of the staked asset can outweigh any reward you earn, and you can lose part or all of your capital.
- Network penalties exist. Some networks can reduce staked balances (for example, through "slashing").
- Third-party and technical risk. Smart-contract failures or the failure of a party involved in the product can affect your assets.
Risk warning: Crypto assets are highly volatile and largely unregulated in many places. Staking rewards vary and are not guaranteed, your assets may be locked, and you could lose some or all of your capital. Please read our risk disclosure before staking.
