FAQ

What is the staking APY for Polygon?
Approximately 4.5% per year, depending on platform, network conditions and lock-up. Exchanges take a cut; staking direct from a wallet usually pays more but needs more setup.
Is staking Polygon safe?
Staking has risks: price volatility, lock-up/unbonding periods, and (on exchanges) custody risk. Staking from a hardware wallet keeps custody with you. Never stake more than you can lock up.
How do I stake Polygon?
Easiest: hold MATIC on an exchange that offers MATIC staking (above) and opt in. Self-custody: stake from a Ledger via Ledger Live for MATIC where supported.
