How Crypto Staking Works
Staking is the process of locking up crypto tokens to participate in a blockchain's Proof-of-Stake validation mechanism, earning periodic rewards in return. This calculator uses simple interest: Rewards = Principal × APR × Time.
Typical staking APRs: Ethereum via Lido ~3–5%; Solana ~6–8%; Cosmos ~15–20%. Rewards are paid in the staked token — always evaluate returns net of price risk and lock-up periods.
Frequently Asked Questions
APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is simple interest — rewards don't compound. APY (Annual Percentage Yield) assumes rewards are reinvested, resulting in higher effective returns. This calculator uses APR. If your protocol auto-compounds, your actual yield will be slightly higher.
Yes. Staking rewards are classified as income from VDAs and taxed at 30% flat rate plus 4% cess when sold. The cost basis of staking rewards is typically zero, so the entire sale value is taxable.
Key risks: (1) Price risk — the staked token can fall in value; (2) Lock-up risk — funds may be inaccessible for days or weeks; (3) Slashing — some networks penalise validators for downtime; (4) Smart contract risk in DeFi protocols.
Depends on the protocol. Ethereum unbonding takes 1–5 days; Cosmos 21 days; Solana ~2 days. Liquid staking tokens (stETH, rETH) can be traded immediately on DEXs, bypassing lock-up periods.
Staking rewards are denominated in the staked token, not in INR. Showing a rupee figure would require a price assumption that could be misleading. Multiply your token rewards by the current market price for an approximate INR value.
It varies by blockchain. Ethereum solo validation requires 32 ETH, but liquid staking protocols like Lido allow staking with any amount. Many Indian exchanges (CoinDCX, WazirX) offer staking with no minimum.
