Starknet
Starknet doesn't have native staking. Liquid staking and DeFi alternatives further down still let you earn yield.
Starknet uses Proof-of-Work — there is nothing to stake natively. See DeFi alternatives below.
Rollup maturity & risk
How Starknet stacks up as a rollup
Stage 1 ZK RollupAggregated rollup-maturity rating + 5-axis risk rosette. Stage 2 is fully decentralised; Stage 1 has guardian intervention windows; Stage 0 still has admin keys. Sentiment colours come straight from the source.
Sequencer Failure
Log via L1
Users can submit transactions to an L1 map, but can't force them. When users “complain” that their transaction is stuck on L1 and not picked up by the sequencer, the Security Council minority can bypass the sequencer by posting a state root that includes it.
State Validation
Validity proofs (ST)
STARKs are zero knowledge proofs that ensure state correctness.
Data Availability
Onchain (SD)
All of the data (SD = state diffs) needed for proof construction is published onchain.
Exit Window
7d
Standard upgrades are initiated on L1 and go through a 8d delay. In case users are censored, the Security Council minority can be alerted to enforce censorship resistance by submitting a new state root. This process is assumed to take 1d.
⚠ The Security Council can upgrade with no delay.
Proposer Failure
Security Council minority
Only the whitelisted proposer can update state roots on L1, so in the event of failure the withdrawals are frozen. The Security Council minority can be alerted to enforce censorship resistance because they are a permissioned Operator.

Wie verdiene ich Rendite auf ETH
Da Starknet kein natives Staking bietet, verdienen Sie auf ETH über DeFi-Pools — durch Verleihen, Bereitstellen von Liquidität oder Wrapping auf eine Chain mit Staking. DeFi bringt Smart-Contract- und (bei LP) Impermanent-Loss-Risiken mit sich.

What does a validator actually do?
Validators run the chain. Pick a healthy one and your rewards arrive on schedule; pick a bad one and you can lose part of your stake.

Frequently asked
What people ask about Starknet staking
What does staking ETH on Starknet mean?
+
Staking on Starknet means locking your ETH with a validator that helps run the network. In return, the network pays you a share of newly created tokens — similar to how a savings account pays interest, but the rate is set by the protocol, not a bank.
How much can I earn?
+
Right now the top validators on Starknet pay varies by validator per year, after their commission. The rate moves with the chain's inflation schedule and how much of the supply is staked overall.
Is staking safe?
+
Your tokens stay in your wallet — you never hand them over. The two real risks are slashing (the network can shrink your balance if your validator misbehaves, which is rare) and lock-up (you can't sell instantly during the unbonding period). Pick a validator with a track record and you sidestep 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. Liquid-staking tokens (like stETH for Ethereum) sidestep this by giving you a tradeable receipt token.
What wallet do I need?
+
Any non-custodial wallet that supports Starknet works — Phantom or Solflare for Solana, Keplr for Cosmos chains, MetaMask for Ethereum and EVM chains, Yoroi or Eternl for Cardano. Connect, choose a validator, click delegate. The whole flow takes a couple of minutes.

Terms used on this page
-
Validator
A computer that processes transactions and votes on the blockchain's state. In return for keeping the network honest it collects fees and staking rewards.
-
Slashing
An automatic penalty where part of a validator's stake is destroyed for misbehaviour or extended downtime. Real risk for delegators too.
-
Unbonding Period
The waiting time after you unstake before tokens become liquid again. Ranges from minutes (Ethereum LSTs) to 21+ days (Cosmos chains).
-
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.
-
Real Yield
Yield paid in revenue-bearing assets (ETH, USDC, fees) rather than newly minted protocol tokens. The non-inflationary part of the rate.
