Staking is the process of locking up your cryptocurrency to support a blockchain network's operations, such as transaction validation on Proof-of-Stake (PoS) networks. In return, you earn staking rewards, typically expressed as an Annual Percentage Yield (APY).
Compounding means your earned rewards are automatically re-staked, so you earn rewards on your rewards. The more frequently compounding occurs, the higher your effective yield. For example, 5% APY with daily compounding yields more than 5% APY with yearly compounding, because each day's small reward starts earning its own rewards immediately.
Staking rewards vary based on network conditions, validator performance, and the total amount staked. This calculator provides estimates based on the APY you enter. Actual rewards may differ.
