Staking Types Explained

Flexible staking lets you withdraw anytime with no lock period. Fixed staking locks your funds for a set period (7, 14, 30+ days) but usually pays a higher APR. On-chain (DeFi) staking delegates tokens to blockchain validators or protocols — your funds join network consensus and earn protocol rewards. CEX staking is custodial and gas-free; DeFi is non-custodial but needs a wallet and on-chain fees.

FAQ

DAI Staking FAQ

What is the best staking rate for DAI?

Is DAI staking safe?

Staking DAI on centralized exchanges carries platform risk — if the exchange is compromised, your funds may be at risk. On-chain staking is generally safer as tokens remain on the blockchain. Always consider the trade-off between higher APR and security.

What is the difference between flexible and fixed staking?

Flexible staking allows you to withdraw your DAI at any time with no lock period, while fixed staking locks your tokens for a set duration (e.g., 30, 60, 90 days). Fixed staking typically offers higher APR as compensation for the lock period.

How often are DAI staking rates updated?

We update staking rates every 10 minutes from official exchange APIs. Rates can change frequently based on market conditions, exchange promotions, and overall demand for staking products.
