What is crypto staking?

Staking means committing your crypto to help secure a proof-of-stake network and earning rewards in return — roughly the crypto version of earning interest. Rewards are usually quoted as an annual percentage yield (APY). When rewards are restaked, your balance compounds and grows faster over time.

Staking isn't risk-free. The coin's price can fall and erase your reward gains, some networks lock your funds for an unbonding period, validators can be "slashed," and APYs change. Staking rewards may also be taxable as income when you receive them.

Compounded: stake × (1 + APY)^years. Simple payout: stake × APY × years. This tool models both.

Is staking risk-free?

No — price can drop, funds may lock up, validators can be penalized, and APYs change. Rewards may be taxable as income.
