How Staking Works
Getting started with staking on QuantaraEX takes just a few minutes. No technical setup, no validator management — we handle everything behind the scenes.
Buy or Transfer Crypto
Purchase a supported staking asset on QuantaraEX, or transfer it from an external wallet to your QuantaraEX account.
Opt In to Staking

Earn Monthly Rewards
Your staking rewards are calculated daily based on your balance and distributed to your account each month, in the same asset you staked.
Why Stake on QuantaraEX
Staking on QuantaraEX is designed to be simple, flexible, and rewarding. Here is what sets us apart.
Earn While You Hold
Your staked crypto generates passive rewards automatically. No active trading required — simply hold supported assets and watch your balance grow every month.
No Technical Knowledge Required
Traditional staking requires running validator nodes and managing complex software. On QuantaraEX, we handle all the technical infrastructure — you simply opt in with one click.
Flexible — No Lock-In
Most supported assets offer flexible staking: unstake at any time with no penalties. Your crypto remains accessible when you need it, while earning rewards when you don't.
Monthly Payouts
Staking rewards are calculated daily and distributed to your account on a monthly basis. Rewards are paid in the same asset you are staking — compounding your holdings over time.
Regulated & Secure
Your staked assets are held securely within the QuantaraEX infrastructure. We use institutional-grade custody solutions and are regulated across multiple jurisdictions.
Compound Automatically
Rewards received each month are automatically eligible for staking in the following period, creating a compounding effect that amplifies your earnings over time without any manual action.
Staking Reward Tiers
Your account tier determines the percentage of staking rewards you receive. Higher-tier accounts enjoy a greater share of the rewards generated by their staked assets.
Base Tier
Standard
of network rewards
Standard account holders receive 75% of the staking rewards generated by their assets.
Enhanced
Gold
of network rewards
Gold account holders benefit from an increased reward share of 85%, reflecting their higher commitment.
Premium
Executive
of network rewards
Executive account holders enjoy 90% of staking rewards, alongside all other premium account benefits.
Example Calculation
If you stake $10,000 worth of SOL (estimated 5.8% APY) on an Executive account (90% reward share), your estimated annual reward would be approximately $10,000 × 5.8% × 90% = $522 per year, distributed monthly as ~$43.50 in SOL. Actual results may vary based on network conditions.
Understanding Crypto Staking
Crypto staking is the process of participating in the validation of transactions on a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain by locking up a portion of your cryptocurrency holdings. In return for supporting network security and operations, you receive rewards — similar to earning interest on a traditional bank deposit, but typically at significantly higher rates.
Unlike Proof-of-Work blockchains (like Bitcoin) that rely on miners solving complex mathematical puzzles, PoS networks select validators based on the amount of cryptocurrency they have "staked" as collateral. This mechanism is more energy-efficient and allows token holders to earn passive income simply by holding and delegating their assets.
On QuantaraEX, staking is fully managed. When you opt in to staking, we delegate your assets to trusted, high-performance validators on the respective blockchain network. You retain full ownership of your assets at all times — QuantaraEX never takes custody in a way that puts your principal at risk beyond the inherent risks of the blockchain protocol itself.
The rewards you earn depend on several factors: the staking rate set by the blockchain protocol, the total amount of tokens staked across the network, validator performance, and your QuantaraEX account tier. We display estimated APY (Annual Percentage Yield) rates for each supported asset, updated periodically to reflect current network conditions.
Key Terms
- APY
- Annual Percentage Yield — the estimated annualised return including compounding.
- Validator
- A node on a PoS blockchain that verifies transactions and earns rewards.
- Unbonding Period
- The time required to withdraw staked assets from a blockchain protocol.
- Delegation
- The process of assigning your staking rights to a validator without transferring ownership.
- Slashing
- A penalty imposed on validators for misbehaviour. QuantaraEX selects validators with strong track records to minimise this risk.
Staking FAQ
Common questions about crypto staking on QuantaraEX.
What is crypto staking?
Staking is the process of locking up crypto assets to support the operations of a blockchain network (such as validating transactions). In return, participants earn rewards — similar to earning interest on a savings account. On QuantaraEX, staking is simplified: you hold eligible assets, opt in, and we handle the rest.
Which cryptocurrencies can I stake on QuantaraEX?
QuantaraEX currently supports staking for Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), Polkadot (DOT), Avalanche (AVAX), Cosmos (ATOM), Polygon (POL), and Near Protocol (NEAR). We regularly evaluate adding new assets based on network maturity and client demand.
How are staking rewards calculated?
Rewards are calculated daily based on your eligible staked balance. The APY (Annual Percentage Yield) varies by asset and reflects the reward rate of the underlying blockchain network, minus the QuantaraEX service fee. Rewards are distributed monthly in the same asset you are staking.
Can I unstake my crypto at any time?
For most assets marked as 'Flexible', you can unstake at any time with no penalty. Some assets have a protocol-defined unbonding period (shown in the asset table) during which your crypto is being released from the staking contract. During this period, you will not earn rewards.
Is there a minimum amount required for staking?
Yes, minimum staking amounts vary by asset and are generally quite low — starting from $25 for assets like ADA and ATOM. Check the staking table above for specific minimums per asset.
What fees does QuantaraEX charge for staking?
QuantaraEX does not charge a separate staking fee. Instead, the displayed APY rates already reflect the net reward after our service commission. The reward share percentage depends on your account tier: Standard (75%), Gold (85%), or Executive (90%).
Are staking rewards guaranteed?
No. Staking rewards are variable and depend on the conditions of the underlying blockchain network, including network participation rates, protocol changes, and validator performance. The APY rates shown are estimates based on recent network data and may fluctuate.
Can I trade my staked crypto?
Yes. On QuantaraEX, your staked assets remain tradable. If you sell a staked asset, the staking is automatically discontinued and your rewards up to that point are retained. This gives you full flexibility to respond to market conditions.
Important Information
Staking crypto assets involves risk. The value of your staked assets can go down as well as up, and you may receive back less than the value of your original holdings. Staking rewards are not guaranteed and may vary based on network conditions, protocol changes, and validator performance.
The APY rates displayed on this page are estimates based on recent network data and are subject to change without notice. Actual rewards received may differ from the estimated rates. Past performance and past reward rates are not indicative of future results.
Some staking assets have an unbonding period during which your assets cannot be traded or withdrawn. During this period, your assets may be exposed to price fluctuations without the ability to sell. Make sure you understand the lock-up terms for each asset before staking.
QuantaraEX does not provide investment, tax, or legal advice. Staking rewards may be subject to taxation in your jurisdiction. Please consult a qualified professional for advice specific to your circumstances.
