Tokens or dollar value you plan to lock up.
The yearly reward rate your validator or platform advertises.
How many months you intend to keep the stake active.
Re-staking rewards more often grows your balance faster.
Staking 1,000.00 at 8.0% APY for 12 months with monthly compounding grows to 1,083.00.

How Staking Rewards Are Projected
Convert your duration into years, then apply the yearly rate. With a simple payout, rewards are paid linearly. When you re-stake your rewards, each period earns on the previous balance, so the rate is split across compounding periods and applied repeatedly — that compounding is what lifts the effective yield above the headline APY.
Staking Terms Worth Knowing
| Concept | What it means |
|---|---|
| APR | The simple rate, with no compounding applied. |
| APY | The rate including the effect of compounding. |
| Risk | Yield is variable and not guaranteed. |
Frequently Asked Questions
APY, or annual percentage yield, is the yearly return on a stake once compounding is included. Unlike a simple rate (APR), it reflects rewards earning further rewards, so a higher compounding frequency produces a higher APY for the same headline rate.
When rewards are re-staked, each new period earns on a larger balance than the last. The more often this happens — daily versus monthly — the more your effective yield climbs above the stated rate. Switch the compounding option to see the gap for your own numbers.
No. Advertised APY is an estimate, not a promise. Real rewards shift with network participation, validator performance, and protocol changes, and the token's own price can fall. Treat any projection here as a planning figure, not a fixed return you are owed.
Many networks lock staked tokens for a bonding or unbonding window, during which you cannot sell or move them. If the price drops, you may be unable to exit until the lock ends. Check the exact lock and unbonding terms before committing funds you might need sooner.
