What Is Crypto Staking on Pluang?

Crypto staking on Pluang lets you earn staking rewards by locking supported cryptocurrencies — ETH, SOL, and ATOM at launch — into a staking pool, with the feature available from 1 July 2026. Behind the scenes, Pluang delegates your coins to blockchain validators on your behalf, so you take part in securing a proof-of-stake network without running any technical infrastructure yourself. Rewards accrue daily based on your staked quantity and the applicable APY, and are paid in the same coin you staked, distributed weekly every Tuesday. Staking is built into your existing Pluang crypto wallet, so there is no separate account or external wallet to set up. It is not the same as crypto lending — your coins help validate transactions rather than being lent to a counterparty.

Good to know:

• How proof-of-stake generates rewards: validators commit coins to help confirm transactions and secure the network; the network issues new coins as rewards, and you receive a share proportional to what you stake.
• Rewards accrue daily, pay out weekly: they build up each day based on your staked quantity and applicable APY, then are distributed every Tuesday in the same coin you staked.
• Integrated into your wallet: available from 1 July 2026 inside your existing Pluang crypto wallet — no separate account, external wallet, or technical setup.
• Lock-up applies: coins pass through a bonding period before earning starts and an unbonding period after you unstake, and are locked during both.
• APY varies: each coin has its own APY, Pluang+ members can qualify for a higher rate, and rates move with network conditions — check the live figure in the app.
• Not risk-free: you still hold price risk on the coin, staked coins are illiquid during bonding/unbonding, and rewards are estimated, not guaranteed.

Q: Which cryptocurrencies can I stake on Pluang?
ETH (min 0.01 ETH), SOL (min 0.1 SOL), and ATOM (minimum shown in the app) at launch. All run on proof-of-stake networks. The list may expand over time — check the staking page for the current list.

Q: Do I need a separate wallet or account to stake?
No. Staking is built into your existing Pluang crypto wallet — no separate account, external wallet, or seed phrase. You need completed crypto verification and at least the minimum quantity of a supported coin.

Q: Is staking the same as lending my crypto?
No. Staking delegates coins to validators that secure a proof-of-stake network, with rewards from the network. Lending hands coins to a counterparty and carries counterparty risk. Staking rewards are network rewards, not deposit interest.

Q: Can I earn staking rewards without any technical knowledge?
Yes. Pluang runs all validator operations for you. You pick a supported coin, confirm the amount, and the app handles the rest. Rewards accrue daily and pay out every Tuesday in the same coin.

Q: Are staking rewards taxed, and are there fees?
Rewards may be subject to tax under the prevailing regulations that apply to you — keep records and consult a tax professional if unsure. Any applicable staking or unstaking fees are shown in the app before you commit.
