How Crypto Staking Works
What is Staking?
Staking is securing a blockchain network by locking up crypto. In return, the network pays you rewards. Proof-of-Stake blockchains need participants to validate transactions β you get paid for helping secure the network.

Do I Lose Money If I Unstake?
No. You get back what you put in, plus all rewards earned. There are no unstaking penalties with the methods Meton supports.
What If I Miss a Reward?
Rewards are automatic β you can't miss them. They accrue daily and are reflected in your balance or stETH automatically.

Very low risk with Lido/Rocket Pool. Smart contract risk exists, but both protocols are heavily audited. Solo staking has a small slashing risk (~0.1β0.5% annually).
How Much Can I Earn?
1 ETH at 3.5% β $3.50/month. 100 SOL at 6% β $3/month. 1,000 MATIC at 6.5% β $5.40/month. Earnings scale directly with your holdings.
Are Rewards Taxable?
Yes, in most jurisdictions. Staking rewards are taxable as income when received. Consult a tax professional for your specific situation.
