Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common questions about staking yields, risk, taxes, and the difference between staking types.

How accurate are the APY projections in this calculator?

Our calculations use baseline protocol yields derived from real-time network validator data. Actual payouts vary based on validator commission fees, network uptime, total staked supply, and auto-compounding frequencies.

What is the difference between APR and APY in crypto staking?

APR (Annual Percentage Rate) calculates simple annual returns without reinvesting rewards. APY (Annual Percentage Yield) includes compound interest, assuming your daily or epoch-based rewards are continuously restaked into your principal.

What is slashing, and can I lose my staked crypto?

Slashing is an automated protocol penalty where a validator loses a percentage of its staked tokens for double-signing or prolonged downtime. Non-custodial delegators may lose a small portion of their reward or principal depending on the chosen validator.

Do I have to pay taxes on crypto staking rewards?

In most jurisdictions (including the US, UK, and EU), staking rewards are taxed as ordinary income based on their fair market value on the day they are received. Selling or swapping those rewards later triggers a secondary capital gains event.

What is the difference between Native Staking and Liquid Staking?

Native staking locks your tokens directly into the network validator set. Liquid staking issues a tradeable receipt token (like stETH or JitoSOL) representing your staked deposit, allowing you to earn yields while maintaining liquidity for DeFi.
