Frequently asked questions

What is staking?

Staking is a method of verifying and securing transactions on proof-of-stake blockchains, like Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Polkadot and more. Proof-of-stake blockchains pay crypto asset owners to help verify onchain transactions and keep the network secure. Learn more.

What’s the tradeoff?

When staking, you can’t sell or move your assets until you unstake them. Blockchains have different unstaking periods. If you are a buy-and-hold crypto investor, then staking is for you. Find the estimated unstaking periods for supported assets on our help page.

How does staking work on Coinbase?

Staking your own crypto is a challenge for most asset holders. It requires running a node on your own hardware, syncing it to the blockchain, and funding the node with enough cryptocurrency to meet minimum thresholds. On the Coinbase app, you can opt in to stake your eligible crypto with a couple of taps and earn rewards directly from the blockchain.

Which Proof of Stake asset(s) earn staking rewards?

Visit our support center to see which assets earn staking rewards on Coinbase.

Who is eligible to stake on Coinbase?

To stake on Coinbase, you must have your identity verified with a valid TIN on file, and reside in a location where staking is allowed. Visit our help center page to learn more about eligibility.

What are some risks associated with staking?

One risk is the possible slashing of staked assets or rewards. Although it’s unlikely, there is a possibility you could lose your staked assets or rewards in case of a network or validator failure. We’ve taken measures to reduce these risks, but some events are outside our control.

What’s the difference between asset prices and APY?

The rewards earned by staking are not reflective of the asset price. The staking APY is independent from the asset price which is set by the market. The APY is determined by the blockchain, and comes from transaction fees and new coins.

Do staked assets ever leave my account?

While your assets are staked they remain in your account at all times. Although a common misconception, Staking rewards do not come from lending out your assets but from blockchain transaction fees and new coins. Learn more.

How do I transfer my crypto to Coinbase to earn rewards?

Eligible customers can earn rewards on any eligible assets they hold on Coinbase, regardless of where they purchase it. You can send assets from an external wallet to your Coinbase account with no Coinbase fees by following these instructions. You can also turn off staking at any time by going to your settings page.

Is there a fee associated with these services?

The rewards rate stated by Coinbase is a projection based on the rewards we received over the past 90 days. Each network sets the underlying return rate depending on the number of staking participants. We take a commission on all rewards received, and the return rate for our customers reflects this commission. You can find our current commission fee in our user agreement.

Will I be taxed on my staking rewards?

US customers who are subject to US tax reporting are required to report their earnings from Staking rewards. US customers that earn over $600 in staking rewards will receive a 1099-MISC from Coinbase. You can learn more about the 1099-MISC on the official website of the IRS.
