Stake Your Crypto Assets and Earn Rewards

Staking is the process in which users of a blockchain put crypto assets at stake (hence the term ‘staking’) to perform tasks for the blockchain. It is an active way of securing the blockchain through the proof-of-stake consensus protocol.

After onboarding as a client of Bitcoin Suisse, ensure that you have a sufficient amount of stakeable currencies available from your trading account. Navigate to the “Staking” section of your Bitcoin Suisse Online account. Choose “Open New Account” and then choose the amount you wish to stake. After confirming, you will see information about when your holdings will be staked and how much you can earn.

Currently we support Tezos (XTZ), Ethereum 2 (ETH2), Dash (DASH), Cardano (ADA), Cosmos (ATOM) and Kusama (KSM) as well as Polkadot (DOT). We will continue to add more. Sign up to our newsletter to get informed when we release new PoS crypto assets for staking.

The fee is by default a fixed, flat and transparent percentage of the rewards. It may vary depending on the crypto asset, as the costs associated with staking are different on a blockchain protocol-level. It is by default denominated in the crypto asset which you are staking. Our fee will cover all costs regarding staking. Click on each crypto asset to see the fee applicable.

The crypto assets that you stake cannot be traded at the same time, but it is possible to use them as collateral for our loan product.

At any given time you can request to stop staking by contacting Client Services, but your tokens will only appear in your Bitcoin Suisse Online Account after processing and any applicable lockup period based on the protocol specification.
