How do I stake Zilliqa?

The easiest way to stake ZIL is to use a platform like Paybis to join a staking pool. The staking platform takes care of the technical side of things for you and pays out your rewards straight into your account at regular intervals, just like how a bank credits a savings account at the end of each month.

Once you’ve chosen a platform and created an account, you usually just need to send your ZIL to the built-in wallet. Sometimes you need to actively choose to stake, while with other platforms the Zilliqa is staked automatically once you have some in your account.

For example, with a service like Nexo, you start earning interest immediately, as soon as you have ZIL in your Nexo account. You then have the option to create fixed-term contracts which pay higher rates for a period of time.

But there are other platforms, like Binance or eToro, where you can buy a wider variety of coins but staking is either a more active process or the fees for doing so are considerably higher: between 35-45% on eToro or 25-35% on Binance.

How much can I make by staking Zilliqa?

Use the Zilliqa earn calculator to find out exactly how much you could make. However, in almost every instance staking ZIL pays a better rate of interest than keeping fiat currency in a bank savings account.

For example, if you have $1000 in a savings account paying 1% interest, over the course of the year you would earn $10. This is normally paid into your account on a monthly basis.

Zilliqa staking rewards are higher, more flexible, and can be paid out more frequently. For instance, if you spend $1000 to buy ZIL and deposit it onto a staking platform, then you may be able to earn significantly more and receive that money on a daily basis. If the ZIL reward was 8%, this would be the calculation:

$1000 x 8% APY rewards = $80

$80/365 days = $0.21 per day

Or in Zilliqa:

1 ZIL x 8% APY rewards = 0.08 ZIL

0.08 ZIL/365 days = 0.0002 ZIL per day

You can also choose to adjust your staking amount or withdraw your money at any time without losing out on your rewards. The trade-off is that the price of the coin is more volatile than fiat currency and the value of your holdings can fluctuate dramatically.
