Frequently asked
What people ask about staking SDCRV
What is staking SDCRV?
+
Staking SDCRV means locking your SDCRV with a validator that helps secure the network. The network pays you new tokens as a reward — like interest on a savings account, but the rate is set by the protocol, not a bank.
How much can I earn from staking SDCRV?
+
Right now, staking SDCRV pays varies — check the validator list above, after the validator's commission. The exact number depends on which validator you pick. The list above is sorted by reward rate.
Is staking safe?
+
Your SDCRV stays in your wallet — you delegate trust, not custody. The two real risks are slashing (rare; the network can shrink your balance if your validator misbehaves) and lock-up (you can't sell instantly during the unbonding period). Picking a validator with a track record neutralizes most of the risk.
Can I unstake whenever I want?
+
Yes, but unstaking is not instant. Most chains have an unbonding period of a few days to a few weeks during which you don't earn rewards and can't sell. If you need instant exit, look for a liquid-staking option — you get a tradeable receipt token for your staked balance.
What wallet do I need?
+
Any non-custodial wallet that supports SDCRV. Connect, choose a validator from the list above, click delegate, sign the transaction. The flow is short and you don't transfer the tokens — you grant the validator the right to use your stake to vote on the network.

Terms used on this page
-
APY
Annual Percentage Yield — the yearly return on a deposit assuming rewards are continuously reinvested. Always slightly higher than APR.
-
Validator Commission
The fee a validator takes from staking rewards before passing the rest to delegators. Often 5–15%; lower means more of the reward reaches you.
-
Slashing
An automatic penalty where part of a validator's stake is destroyed for misbehaviour or extended downtime. Real risk for delegators too.
-
Liquid Staking Token (LST)
A receipt token issued by a liquid staking protocol that represents your staked position and accrues rewards. Examples: stETH, rETH, jitoSOL.
-
Unbonding Period
The waiting time after you unstake before tokens become liquid again. Ranges from minutes (Ethereum LSTs) to 21+ days (Cosmos chains).
