About IO Staking
Staking IO lets you earn passive income by locking or delegating your tokens. We track IO staking across 4 exchanges (Binance, Bitget, Bybit, Gate.io), with rates refreshed every 10 minutes. APR varies widely — from flexible savings with instant withdrawal, to fixed-term products with higher yields, to on-chain staking that delegates directly to blockchain validators.
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.
