Staking at Bitvavo

Summary

This article provides an overview of Bitvavo Earn, a reward generating product suite combining the staking and lending of crypto-assets. The article explains the main differences between the Auto Earn and the Fixed Staking products, the basics of staking and lending, and how to manage your preferences in Bitvavo Earn.

Introduction to Bitvavo Earn

Auto Earn and Fixed Staking are reward programs. Bitvavo offers two distinct ways to participate in these reward programs. You can choose the option that best fits your trading style, but to use Fixed Staking, it is first required to enable Auto Earn.

• Auto Earn: Auto-Earn is a flexible reward program meaning your crypto-assets remain completely flexible and you can trade or withdraw your crypto-assets at any time without restrictions. This option groups together flexible staking and lending to generate your rewards and when you enable Auto Earn, you generate rewards automatically on all eligible crypto-assets in your Bitvavo account.

• Fixed Staking: This option allows you to lock specific crypto-assets for a fixed period of 30 calendar days. In exchange for locking your crypto-assets, you receive a higher reward rate compared to Auto Earn rates. During the locked period, you cannot trade or withdraw your crypto-assets that have been staked through fixed staking. Once the term ends, your staked crypto-assets and rewards become fully available again. To use Fixed Staking, first enable Auto Earn. Fixed Staking article

Auto Earn utilizes two methods to generate your rewards:

• Staking: Your eligible crypto-assets help support blockchain networks that use proof of stake. In return, you receive weekly staking rewards.
• Lending: Your eligible crypto-assets are lent to trusted partners on the Bitvavo platform to generate liquidity. Lending crypto-assets can also be utilised for on-chain staking and margin product provisions. In return, you receive weekly lending rewards.
