What Is Crypto Staking?

Staking allows you to earn rewards by participating in the operation of a blockchain network. When you stake crypto, you temporarily lock your assets to help secure the network, validate transactions, and maintain blockchain operations.

Many blockchains use a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. By staking your tokens, you contribute to the network and receive rewards in return.

With Trust Wallet, staking is simple and accessible. You can stake supported cryptocurrencies directly from the app or browser extension and monitor your rewards in one place.

⚠️ Important:

Staking involves locking your funds for a period of time. During this time, your tokens may not be immediately transferable.

How to Unstake Your Crypto

If you decide to stop staking, you can unstake your assets directly from Trust Wallet.

On the Trust Wallet Mobile App

1. Open Trust Wallet and select Discover.
2. Tap My Earn Portfolio.
3. Select the asset you currently have staked.
4. Tap Unstake.
5. Review the amount being unstaked and tap Continue.

On the Trust Wallet Browser Extension

2. Navigate to Earn.

4. Choose Unstake and follow the instructions.

After the unstaking request is submitted, the funds usually become available after the current epoch, which typically lasts around 4 days, depending on the network.

Important Things to Know About Staking and Unstaking

Staking and unstaking are on-chain transactions, meaning they occur directly on the blockchain.

Because of this, several important factors apply:

• Network fees apply: Each staking or unstaking transaction requires a network fee paid to validators.
• Unstaking waiting periods: Some networks require a waiting period before assets become claimable.
• Two-step unstaking process:
  • First: Submit the Unstake transaction.
  • Second: Submit a Claim transaction once the waiting period ends.

The claim transaction makes the assets transferable again, and it also requires a network fee.

⚠️ Important:

Unstaking timelines depend entirely on the blockchain network and its validators. Trust Wallet cannot speed up or change these waiting periods. Most networks require 2–4 days, but this may vary.

Explore Available Staking Programs

You can explore the latest native staking opportunities directly in the Earn section of Trust Wallet.

Staking options may vary depending on the blockchain network and wallet integrations.

Always review the staking details, validator information, and reward structure before committing your assets.

FAQ

Q: Do I keep control of my crypto when staking with Trust Wallet?

Yes. Trust Wallet is a non-custodial wallet, which means you remain the sole owner of your assets and private keys.

Q: Can I unstake my crypto at any time?

You can initiate unstaking anytime, but many networks require an unstaking period before the assets become available.

Q: Why do I need to claim my tokens after unstaking?

Some networks require a second Claim transaction to make the tokens transferable again after the unstaking period ends.

Q: Are staking rewards guaranteed?

No. Rewards depend on network conditions, validator performance, and protocol rules.

Q: Do staking transactions require fees?

Yes. Since staking actions occur on-chain, you must pay network fees for staking, unstaking, and claiming transactions.

⚠️ Key Takeaway

Staking lets you earn rewards while helping secure blockchain networks.

However, because Trust Wallet is non-custodial, you are fully responsible for your staking decisions, validator choices, and understanding network rules.

Always review staking terms carefully before locking your assets.
