Common Questions, Clear Answers

Staking lets you deposit a token into a smart contract¹, sometimes with a lock up period, to earn rewards over time.

It is one of the simplest ways to earn passive income in crypto.

You can access staking.

For more details, visit the staking docs.

You can currently stake the following tokens:
$RUJI
$TCY
$RUNE
$AUTO (soon, currently available here)
$LQDY (soon, currently available here)

To see the full list of tokens available for staking, visit Staking.

With Yielding staking, you earn rewards, usually, in a token different from the one you stake (e.g. USDC rewards for staking RUJI, or RUNE reward for staking TCY), which you can claim whenever you want.

With Auto Compounding staking, your rewards are automatically used to buy more of the same token, increasing your staked balance over time.

For example, if you stake $RUJI, you normally earn $USDC rewards. With auto compounding enabled, that $USDC is automatically used to buy more $RUJI, which is then added to your stake.

Staking can be subject to an unstaking period¹, which means you may need to wait after requesting withdrawal before your tokens become available again.

Current unstaking periods are:
$RUJI: No unstaking period (instant)
$TCY: No unstaking period (instant)
$RUNE (via bRUNE): No unstaking period (instant)
$AUTO: 14 day unstaking period
$LQDY: 7 day unstaking period

Unstaking periods are different per token, so check the unstaking time on the token's details page via Staking.
