Estimate your staking rewards and APY for any cryptocurrency staking pool.
Quick Coin + APY: (loads live price)
Staking is one of the most popular ways to earn passive income in crypto. You lock your tokens in a protocol, help secure the network, and earn rewards — typically ranging from 3% APY (ETH) to 15%+ APY on smaller chains.
The real power is in compounding. At 12% APY with daily compounding, $10,000 becomes ~$11,275 in a year — not $11,200 as simple interest would give you. Over 5 years that difference grows dramatically. Always enable auto-compounding if your platform offers it.
Important: staking returns are denominated in the staked token. If you're earning 10% APY on a token that drops 50% in price, your real return is actually negative 45% in USD terms. Always consider token price risk alongside APY when evaluating staking opportunities.
Staking is locking up your cryptocurrency to support a blockchain network's operations (like validating transactions). In return, you earn rewards — similar to earning interest in a savings account.
APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the simple annual return without compounding. APY (Annual Percentage Yield) includes the effect of compound interest. APY is always equal to or higher than APR.
Staking involves risks including smart contract vulnerabilities, slashing (penalty for validator misbehavior), and token price volatility. Your rewards are in the same token — if its price drops, your real returns drop too.
ETH, SOL, ADA, DOT, MATIC, ATOM, AVAX, and many others support staking. APY rates vary widely — from 3% on ETH to 15%+ on some smaller chains.
Compounding means reinvesting your staking rewards so they also earn rewards. Daily compounding significantly boosts returns over time — the difference between simple and compound returns grows larger the longer you stake.
In most jurisdictions, staking rewards are taxed as ordinary income at the time of receipt. Consult a tax professional in your country for accurate guidance.
