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, which is why it reuses the same eligibility gate rather than adding a new one; you don't create an external wallet or a separate staking account. Alongside verification, you also need to hold at least the minimum staking quantity of a supported coin. Once both conditions are met — approved verification and a sufficient balance — you can open the staking page in the app and begin. If either verification is still pending, you'll need to wait for approval first.

• Two verifications, and nothing extra. Staking is gated by the same two checks as the rest of the crypto feature — Basic Verification and Global Asset Verification. There is no additional staking-specific verification, no separate application, and no external wallet to set up before you can begin.
• What Basic Verification covers. This is your core identity check: name, date of birth, nationality, and an ID document (NIK or passport). It is required for every Pluang feature, not just crypto, and is usually completed when you first open your account.
• What Global Asset Verification unlocks. This adds the data points needed to access global assets such as crypto and US stocks. Approving it is what lets you buy, sell, hold — and now stake — crypto within your existing Pluang wallet, since Pluang delegates your coins to network validators on your behalf.
• What you don't need. Indonesian Asset Verification is not required for crypto staking, and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) only applies if your specific account is flagged for it. Most users never encounter an EDD step at all.
• Where to complete or check it. In the Pluang app, go to Profile → Verification and finish any outstanding steps. Both verifications are typically done during onboarding, so many users are already eligible without any further action.
• Verification is necessary but not sufficient. You also need to hold at least the minimum staking quantity of a supported coin, and you must be at least 18 (or the legal minimum in your jurisdiction). Only with both approved verification and enough balance can you actually start staking.

Q: Can I start staking immediately after completing verification?
Yes, as long as 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 having enough of an eligible coin to meet its minimum. Once both are in place, open the staking page for that coin in the app and you can start straight away, with no extra waiting period beyond verification approval itself.

Q: Do I need to re-verify separately for each coin I want to stake?
No. Verification is done once at the account level, not per coin. Once your Global Asset Verification is approved it applies to every supported staking coin, such as ETH, SOL, and ATOM, plus any assets added later. You never repeat the identity or crypto verification when moving from one coin to another; you only need to hold at least the minimum staking quantity of each coin you want to stake.

Q: My verification is still pending — can I stake in the meantime?
No. Staking requires a fully approved verification status, the same as buying or selling crypto. If your Basic Verification or Global Asset Verification is still under review, the staking option stays locked until approval comes through. Approval times vary, so if it has been unusually long it's worth checking the verification screen under Profile in the app or contacting Pluang Care to confirm nothing else is needed.

Q: Are foreign nationals (non-Indonesian residents) eligible to stake?
Eligibility comes down to whether you have completed the required verification rather than your nationality specifically. Global Asset Verification is available to foreign nationals, and completing it — together with Basic Verification — is what unlocks staking. Because eligibility rules and required documents can change over time, always check the current requirements shown on the verification screen in the Pluang app rather than relying on older information.

Q: Is the verification for staking different from the one for trading crypto?
No, it is the same gate. Staking is integrated into your existing Pluang crypto wallet, so it reuses the Basic Verification and Global Asset Verification you already completed to buy, sell, or hold crypto — there is no separate staking application, external wallet, or extra approval step. If you can already trade crypto on Pluang, you have met the verification side of the requirement and only need to hold the minimum staking quantity.
