Quick answer

Staking STRK earns rewards for helping secure the network, quoted as an annual percentage yield (APY). Your reward is roughly stake x APY x time, but it is paid in STRK — a volatile asset — and dilution, unbonding periods and taxes cut the real return. This tool pre-fills a typical 8% APY you can adjust.

How this is calculated

Rewards compound with the standard formula final = principal × (1 + APY/n)^(n × years), where n is your compounding frequency (choose "no compounding" for simple interest). Dollar values multiply coin amounts by the live STRK price; the optional price-change field revalues the final position, not the yield itself.

The pre-filled APY is an indicative native-staking rate (5–11% range, verified 2026-07-12) — actual rates float with network participation, and platforms take commissions. Sources and update cadence are on the methodology page.

Unbonding period
7 days (cut from 21 days in 2025), no rewards while exiting
Minimum stake
No minimum for delegators; validators need a larger self-stake

manual (claim and restake)
  • Rewards come from Starknet's inflation (initially capped near 1.6% of supply) and shrink per token as more STRK is staked network-wide.
  • Delegators earn each epoch only when their validator submits its attestations, so a reliable validator matters more than a headline rate.
  • Since 2025 Starknet also lets Bitcoin holders lock BTC to earn STRK, widening the reward pool beyond STRK itself.

Frequently asked questions

Is staking taxed?
In most tier-1 jurisdictions, staking rewards are taxed as income at their market value when received, and again as capital gains when you later sell. Details differ by country — see how staking rewards are taxed and the tax calculator.
Can you lose money staking?
Yes, three ways: the coin's price can fall more than the yield earns; validators can be slashed or underperform; and during the 7 days (cut from 21 days in 2025), no rewards while exiting you can't sell into a crash. APY is a reward rate, not a guarantee of profit.
Why does my exchange quote a different STRK APY?
Exchanges take a commission (often 15–35% of rewards) and sometimes cap promotional tiers, so their net rates usually sit below native delegation rates. This page pre-fills a typical native rate — override the APY field with whatever your platform quotes.
What's the difference between nominal APY and effective APY?
Nominal is the quoted rate; effective includes compounding at your chosen frequency. Rewards that auto-compound daily or per-epoch produce a slightly higher effective yield than the same nominal rate paid once a year.
