Rewards and Minimums
Opt-in Rewards rewards are generally paid out once a week.
The asset rewarded is based on the asset. For example, your rewards for BTC will be in BTC. Rewards will only be added if the reward is greater than the smallest decimal precision.
There may be variance in payout timing due to platform upgrades.

Time
There is no minimum Opt-in Rewards time needed to earn rewards.
You start earning pro-rated rewards for Opt-in Rewards as soon as it is processed by Kraken (which may be within minutes of you Opting-in your funds). Any rewards earned will be credited to your Opt-in Rewards balance on the following payout day.
Fees
There are currently no fees for Opt-in Rewards. 
Why do my rewards say “0”?
Rewards below five decimal places will only display on exported ledger history, since the Kraken website truncates to five decimal places.
Balance hold & impact on equity for margin trading
While your assets are held in our Opt-in Rewards program, they are not available for trading and cannot be withdrawn to an external (non-Kraken) account or wallet. You will be able to instantly remove assets at any time, but Kraken reserves up to seven days to process requests. Opt-in Rewards can also impact your equity for margin trading, because some of these assets are collateral currencies and while opted in, will be removed from your trading and equity balances. Your equity balances affect your free margin and margin level for margin trading. 
Mobile
Opt-in Rewards is available with the Kraken Pro app.
