Kraken launches AVAX staking and Auto Earn, a simple way to put your idle AVAX to work
Meist gelesene Nachrichten
We are bringing AVAX staking and earning to our global client base (see exceptions below), making it simple for millions of customers to earn rewards on their Avalanche holdings through a platform built on security, scale, and reliability. Clients can start earning in a few clicks, with no technical setup or maintenance required. The services are broken into three flavors. Bonded Staking offers rewards up to 10% APY for a limited time, then up to 7% APY. Auto Earn and Flexible Staking each offer up to 3.5% APY. Rewards are automatically restaked to help grow holdings over time. Kraken manages all underlying infrastructure, including validator operations and reward distribution, backed by the platform’s track record of operating staking services across proof-of-stake networks at scale. John Zettler, Kraken Director of Earn Products : “Staking AVAX has always been possible, but for most holders it’s meant managing validators and technical complexity. We made it simple for clients to participate in protocol staking across various Earn offerings. Kraken runs the infrastructure. Clients choose whether and how they want to earn.” John Nahas, Ava Labs Chief Business Officer: “Making staking simple and accessible is core to expanding participation in the Avalanche ecosystem. Kraken’s integration removes the technical barriers that have historically limited users from engaging directly with the network, enabling more AVAX holders to contribute to Avalanche’s security while earning rewards. It’s a meaningful step toward broader adoption of Avalanche.” AVAX Earn is available globally at launch, including the US (excluding New York and Maine residents), UK, EU, Canada, Australia, and additional markets. Stake AVAX on Kraken Geographic restrictions apply. Projected annual rate is an estimate based on the average staking rewards accrued over the past period, before commission, and is subject to change. Staking involves risks including no guarantee of rewards, potential loss from slashing or hacks, and depreciation in the value of assets while staked. Please refer to Kraken’s Terms of Service for additional information. For Flexible staking, Kraken will only stake a portion of your assets. You will receive rewards on up to 50% of the assets you choose to stake. Staking is unregulated and provided by Payward Commercial Limited .
