Three products, three risk profiles

A higher percentage usually comes with different conditions or additional risk.

On-chain staking

On-chain staking

Your coins help secure a network and the reward comes from that network. The main additional risks are slashing and the failure of any company holding your coins in custody. More about on-chain staking.

Liquid staking

Liquid staking

You deposit into a protocol and receive a tradable token representing the staked position. This adds smart contract, liquidity and depeg risk to the underlying staking risk. More about liquid staking.

Lending

Lending

This is not staking. You lend your coins to a provider, which pays interest from its own resources. If the provider fails, you may be an unsecured creditor and could lose the full deposit. More about lending.

Where these rates come from

We collect rates directly from providers through their APIs or official websites and check them daily. Every rate shows when it was last checked. Providers can change terms without notice, so confirm the current rate before depositing.

Crypto returns are never guaranteed. On-chain staking can involve slashing, liquid staking adds smart contract and depeg risk, and lending can expose your entire deposit if a provider fails. In every category, a fall in the coin price can exceed the rewards earned.
