Are There Any Fees for Staking or Unstaking on Pluang?

Pluang does not charge a direct staking or unstaking transaction fee. You are not billed a separate line-item charge to start staking, to submit an unstaking request, or to receive your weekly rewards. Instead, the cost of participating is reflected indirectly in the spread between the network's gross staking yield and the APY Pluang offers to users — so the rate you see is already net of that spread. Separately, tax deductions apply to your gross rewards per prevailing regulation: currently TDS at 5% and VAT (PPN) at 0.11%. These are statutory taxes withheld and remitted to the Indonesian tax authority on your behalf, not fees that Pluang profits from. On-chain network (gas) costs for delegating and undelegating your coins are absorbed by Pluang, and there is no penalty for unstaking early. Standard crypto withdrawal fees only apply separately if you later move coins off Pluang entirely, per the normal crypto fee schedule shown in the app.

• No direct staking or unstaking fee. There is no charge to submit a staking request or an unstaking request on Pluang. You keep the full staked quantity working for you, and the act of staking or unstaking itself does not deduct a transaction fee from your balance.
• The cost is indirect, built into the spread. Rather than an itemised fee, Pluang's compensation sits in the difference between the blockchain's gross staking yield and the APY offered to users. Because the APY you see is already after that spread, there is nothing extra to subtract when you estimate your rewards.
• Gas and on-chain fees are absorbed by Pluang. Delegating your coins to validators and later undelegating them can incur on-chain network (gas) fees. Pluang absorbs these — users are not charged separate gas fees for staking or unstaking, and no technical setup or external wallet is needed.
• Taxes are statutory, not Pluang fees. Per prevailing regulation, TDS (currently 5%) and VAT/PPN (currently 0.11%) are deducted from your gross rewards. TDS is a Tax Deducted at Source and VAT applies to reward income; both are withheld by Pluang and remitted to the tax authority (DJP), not retained as Pluang revenue.
• No hidden penalties. There is no lock-up penalty fee and no early-termination charge for unstaking before any particular date. If you unstake early you simply stop earning rewards from the day after you submit the request — you are not fined for it.
• Withdrawing off-platform is separate. If, after unstaking, you decide to withdraw your coins off Pluang entirely, standard crypto withdrawal fees apply per the normal Pluang crypto fee schedule. That is a general withdrawal cost, not a staking-specific charge — check the app for the current schedule before withdrawing.

Q: Does Pluang take a cut of my staking rewards?
Not as a separate line item. Pluang's compensation is built into the spread between the network's gross staking yield and the APY offered to users, so there is no itemised Pluang fee deducted from your reward statement. The APY you see on the staking page is already net of that spread. The only deductions applied on top are the statutory taxes, which go to the tax authority rather than to Pluang.

Q: Are TDS and VAT the same as a platform fee?
No. TDS and VAT (PPN) are statutory Indonesian taxes applied per prevailing regulation, currently 5% and 0.11% respectively. Pluang withholds them from your gross rewards and remits them to the tax authority (DJP) on your behalf — they are not revenue that Pluang keeps. Treat them as taxes on reward income, distinct from any platform fee, which for staking and unstaking Pluang does not charge directly.

Q: Is there a penalty for unstaking early?
No. Pluang does not charge a penalty or early-termination fee for unstaking before any specific date. When you submit an unstaking request, you simply stop accruing new rewards from the day after the request, and your coins go through the network's unbonding period before returning to your spendable wallet. The only wait involved is that network-mandated unbonding period — there is no financial penalty attached to it.

Q: Are there gas fees or blockchain transaction fees for staking?
Not for you. Delegating and undelegating coins on-chain can involve network gas fees, but Pluang absorbs these costs. Users are not charged separate gas fees for staking or unstaking, and you do not need a separate wallet, account, or any technical knowledge — staking is integrated into your existing Pluang crypto wallet, and Pluang handles the on-chain mechanics on your behalf.

Q: If I withdraw my coins after unstaking, is there a fee?
Withdrawing coins off Pluang entirely is a separate action from unstaking, and standard crypto withdrawal fees apply per the normal Pluang crypto fee schedule. This is a general withdrawal cost that would apply to any crypto you move off the platform, not a staking-specific charge. Check the current fee schedule in the app before withdrawing, since network conditions can affect on-chain withdrawal costs.
