Staking

An overview of eligibility criteria (including geographic restrictions) for Staking can be found here.

The steps below are for clients using the Kraken Classic interface. Which Kraken interface am I on?

    Once you are signed in navigate to Earn at the top of the page. 

  2. 2

    Click on Stake and then select the asset you would like to stake.

  3. 3

    Input the amount of the asset that you would like to stake and select Stake. Some assets will offer both a Bonded term as well as a Flexible term.

  4. 4

    Your funds are now initiated for staking. You will see this entry under Transactions.

  5. 5

    A few minutes later your transaction will go from initiated to Success which means your funds are now staked.

    Certain assets have a bonding period, which means that rewards will not begin to accrue to your account until the asset has been staked for a period of time.

  6. 6

    Under Staking assets you will see the amount of rewards you have earned so far and the total amount staked under Total rewards and Staking balance.

  7. 7

    Once you have received your desired amount of rewards you can 'Unstake' (excluding staked FLOW.H).
