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 they are paid in the same coin you staked, distributed weekly every Tuesday. Staking is built directly 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. Actual APY varies with network conditions and is always shown live on the staking page in the app.

• How proof-of-stake generates rewards. Supported coins run on proof-of-stake blockchains, where validators commit coins to help confirm transactions and keep the network secure. In return, the network issues new coins as rewards, and by delegating through Pluang you receive a share of those rewards in proportion to what you stake.
• Rewards accrue daily, pay out weekly. Your rewards build up every day based on your staked quantity and the applicable APY, then are distributed every Tuesday. Because they are paid in the same coin you staked, your coin balance grows over time rather than converting to cash.
• Available from 1 July 2026 and integrated into your wallet. Staking launched on 1 July 2026 and lives inside your existing Pluang crypto wallet — no separate staking account, no external wallet, and no technical setup. You choose a supported coin and confirm the amount you want to stake.
• Lock-up applies through bonding and unbonding. After you stake, coins pass through a network-mandated bonding period before they start earning, and after you unstake they pass through an unbonding period before returning to your spendable wallet. Coins are locked during both phases.
• APY varies by coin and account type. Each coin has its own APY, and Pluang+ members can qualify for a higher rate than Regular accounts. Rates are not fixed — they move with network conditions — so always check the live figure shown on the staking page in the app.
• Staking is not risk-free. You still hold price risk on the underlying coin, and staked coins are illiquid while bonding and unbonding. Rewards are estimated based on network conditions, never guaranteed, so treat any figure you see as an estimate rather than a promise.

Q: Which cryptocurrencies can I stake on Pluang?
At launch you can stake ETH, with a minimum of 0.01 ETH; SOL, with a minimum of 0.1 SOL; and ATOM, whose minimum is shown in the app. All three run on proof-of-stake networks, which is what makes staking possible. Pluang may add more supported coins over time, so it is worth checking the staking page for the current list before you plan a position.

Q: Do I need a separate wallet or account to stake on Pluang?
No. Staking is built directly into your existing Pluang crypto wallet, so there is no separate staking account, no external wallet, and no seed phrase to manage. Once you have completed the required crypto verification and hold at least the minimum quantity of a supported coin, the stake option becomes available. Pluang handles all validator operations on your behalf behind the scenes.

Q: Is staking the same as lending my crypto?
No. When you stake, your coins are delegated to blockchain validators that help confirm transactions and secure a proof-of-stake network, and the rewards come from the network itself. Crypto lending is different: there you hand coins to a counterparty who pays to borrow them, which carries counterparty risk. Staking rewards are network rewards, not interest on a deposit, and they are estimated rather than guaranteed.

Q: Can I earn staking rewards without any technical knowledge?
Yes. Pluang runs all the validator operations for you, so you do not need to understand nodes, delegation, or blockchain infrastructure. You simply pick a supported coin, confirm the amount you want to stake, and the app manages the rest. Rewards accrue daily and are distributed every Tuesday in the same coin. You can track your staking status and accrued rewards in the staking section of the app.

Q: Are staking rewards taxed, and are there fees?
Any staking rewards you receive may be subject to tax under the prevailing regulations that apply to you, so it is best to keep records and consult a tax professional if you are unsure. Pluang does not promise a fixed return, and any applicable staking or unstaking fees are shown in the app — check the staking page before you commit so you know the current terms for your coin and account type.
