What rewards can I earn from Soft Staking?
By participating in Soft Staking, you can earn rewards generated through the blockchain’s staking mechanism, also known as proof of stake. Rewards are typically paid out in the blockchain’s native token, unless otherwise specified.
Soft Staking is available for selected tokens only. You can visit the Soft Staking page to view the list of eligible tokens and their estimated yields.
How are rewards calculated and distributed?
Soft Staking rewards are calculated based on the daily average balance of eligible tokens in your Spot Account. Snapshot starts at 00:00 (UTC) on the day after you activate Soft Staking.
The first batch of rewards will be distributed to your Spot Account two days after activation, between 00:00 and 08:00 (UTC). Soft Staking rewards will be distributed to your Spot Account on a daily basis. However, due to network delays, system calculations, and other unforeseeable reasons, reward distributions might be delayed.
Daily Rewards = Soft Staked Amount * APR / 365 (to certain decimal places, depending on the cryptocurrency)
Please note that the APR for your Soft Staked Amount is not fixed and is subject to change on a daily basis, unless otherwise stated. The APR for Soft Staking is set based on various factors to ensure sustainable and competitive rewards.
Where can I see my rewards?
You can view your Soft Staking rewards and APR on the Soft Staking page, or check your detailed reward history under the “Soft Staking” section from [Staking History].
Are there any minimum or maximum amounts for Soft Staking?
Yes, there is a minimum spot holding requirement. In addition, there is a cap on the eligible holding amount for earning rewards, any excess amount in your Spot Account will not accrue further rewards. Both of these can be found on the Soft Staking page.
Can I select which tokens to participate in Soft Staking?
No, you won’t be able to “opt-in” for individual tokens. Once Soft Staking is activated, all eligible tokens in your Spot Account will automatically participate and earn rewards.
Can I still receive staking rewards if I have pending spot orders?
No, assets that are frozen or under pending spot orders will not receive rewards. Please see the Soft Staking Terms for more information.
What is the difference between Auto-subscribe and Soft Staking?
Soft Staking is available only for selected tokens. Tokens are not locked for set periods and remain accessible in your Spot Account, allowing you to trade, withdraw, or use them flexibly so you can maximise your staking rewards and trading functionality.
Auto-Subscribe automatically allocates your available Spot Account balance to Simple Earn Flexible Products.
When both Auto-Subscribe and Soft Staking are enabled, Auto-Subscribe takes priority. Eligible assets will be allocated to Auto-Subscribe first and will not be included in Soft Staking.
You can customize which tokens to enroll in Auto-Subscribe by adjusting your preferences in the Auto-Subscribe settings for more flexible asset management.
