Lisk

Lisk doesn't have native staking. Liquid staking and DeFi alternatives further down still let you earn yield.

Staking natif Non disponible

Lisk uses Proof-of-Work — there is nothing to stake natively. See DeFi alternatives below.

Rollup maturity & risk

How Lisk stacks up as a rollup

Stage 0 Other

Aggregated 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

Self sequence

In the event of a sequencer failure, users can force transactions to be included in the project's chain by sending them to L1. There can be up to a 12h delay on this operation.

State Validation

Fraud proofs (INT)

Fraud proofs allow actors watching the chain to prove that the state is incorrect. Interactive proofs (INT) require multiple transactions over time to resolve. Only one entity is currently allowed to propose and submit challenges, as only permissioned games are currently allowed.

Data Availability

Onchain

All of the data needed for proof construction is published on Ethereum L1.

Exit Window

None

There is no window for users to exit in case of an unwanted regular upgrade since contracts are instantly upgradable.

Proposer Failure

Cannot withdraw

Only the whitelisted proposers can publish state roots on L1, so in the event of failure the withdrawals are frozen.

Comment gagner du rendement sur

Comme Lisk n'a pas de staking natif, la façon de gagner sur est via les pools DeFi — en prêtant, fournissant de la liquidité, ou en wrappant sur une chaîne avec staking. DeFi ajoute des risques de smart contract et (pour LP) d'impermanent loss.

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 Lisk staking

What does staking on Lisk mean?

Staking on Lisk means locking your 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 Lisk 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 Lisk 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.
