Do I Need to Complete Any Verification to Start Staking?
Yes. Before you can stake crypto on Pluang you must have completed the two checks that already gate the crypto feature: Basic Verification (identity verification) and Global Asset Verification (crypto asset verification). These are exactly the same verifications required to buy, sell, or hold crypto on Pluang, so if you can already trade crypto you have almost certainly met the verification required to stake — there is no separate, staking-specific verification. Staking is built directly into your existing Pluang crypto wallet, so it reuses the same eligibility gate rather than adding a new one. Alongside verification, you also need to hold at least the minimum staking quantity of a supported coin.
Good to know:
- Two verifications, nothing extra. Staking uses the same two checks as the rest of the crypto feature — Basic Verification and Global Asset Verification. No staking-specific verification, separate application, or external wallet is needed.
- What Basic Verification covers. Your core identity check: name, date of birth, nationality, and an ID document (NIK or passport), required for every Pluang feature.
- What Global Asset Verification unlocks. The data needed to access global assets like crypto and US stocks — it lets you buy, sell, hold, and now stake crypto in your existing wallet.
- What you don't need. Indonesian Asset Verification is not required for crypto staking, and EDD only applies if your account is specifically flagged.
- Where to complete it. In the app, go to Profile → Verification; both verifications are typically finished during onboarding.
- Necessary but not sufficient. You also need at least the minimum staking quantity of a supported coin and must be at least 18.
Related questions:
Q: Can I start staking immediately after completing verification?
Yes, provided you also hold at least the minimum staking quantity of a supported coin in your Pluang wallet. Approved verification is only one of the two requirements; the other is a sufficient balance.
Q: Do I need to re-verify for each coin I stake?
No. Verification is done once at the account level. Once Global Asset Verification is approved it applies to all supported staking coins, such as ETH, SOL, and ATOM.
Q: What if my verification is still pending — can I still stake?
No. Staking requires a fully approved verification status. If Basic or Global Asset Verification is under review, staking stays locked until approval comes through.
Q: Are foreign nationals eligible to stake?
Eligibility depends on whether you have completed the required verification, not nationality. Global Asset Verification is available to foreign nationals. Check the app for current requirements.
Q: Is the verification for staking different from trading crypto?
No, it is the same gate. Staking reuses the Basic and Global Asset Verification you already completed to trade crypto — no separate staking application or approval exists.
