Staking Liquid staking Lending Highest
What would a 6% rate mean for your Chainlink position? Enter an amount of LINK or a value in euros to compare the estimated return from each offer. The calculation assumes the rate and coin price remain unchanged.
A higher percentage usually comes with different conditions or additional risk.
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.
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.
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.

Chainlink is not a Proof of Stake blockchain with block validators, but genuine on-chain LINK staking does exist. Stakers lock LINK as cryptoeconomic security for Chainlink oracle services. This gives node operators a financial interest in reporting data correctly and allows certain failures to be reported.
StakingRewards.eu therefore treats LINK as network-service staking, not lending. Coins enter the Chainlink Staking v0.2 protocol on Ethereum rather than being supplied to a borrower.
The v0.2 community pool is capped. If full, a new user can stake only when an existing position has
actually been withdrawn and capacity becomes available. General Access means participation is open
to everyone, not that the pool always has room.
Check current availability only at staking.chain.link, a domain often imitated by phishing sites. Chainlink does not provide its own wallet. Within the approved wallet options for this site, OKX Web3 Wallet can sign the Ethereum transactions. Keep ETH for gas and verify that the wallet interacts with the official v0.2 contract.
A community staker does not select a single node operator. The protocol distributes community stake across participating operators without giving them control of the LINK.
An unstake request first starts a 28-day cooldown. It is followed by a seven-day claim window in which LINK can be withdrawn. If that window expires, the position returns to the staking protocol and another cooldown is required. Verify current parameters before acting because protocol versions can change them.
v0.2 also ramps up rewards. Part of an accrued reward becomes claimable over time. Leaving before the end of that period can forfeit the still-locked reward. This is not slashing of the principal, but it can make the realised result lower than a quick APY calculation suggests.
In the current design, v0.2 slashing primarily concerns node-operator stake following valid alerts about performance. Community stake therefore has another role. Future upgrades may expand services and conditions.
A provider can lend LINK, participate in v0.2 itself or run its own reward programme. Ask whether the position reaches the official contract and who bears the cooldown or forfeited locked rewards. Without that information, a lending product may be compared with protocol staking.
Chainlink describes the current model on its official staking page. The detailed v0.2 overview covers the cooldown, claim window, ramp-up and different roles of community stakers and node operators.
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.
StakingRewards.eu compares and explains; it does not provide investment advice. Some links are affiliate links, which may earn us a fee. This does not affect the table order, which is based on the displayed rate.
