Are there any costs involved with staking?
There are no direct or out-of-pocket costs for clients who use Finst’s staking service. Finst charges a commission based solely on the rewards generated by the relevant blockchain protocols. This commission is used to cover the operational costs of providing the staking service.
In addition to Finst’s commission, certain third-party costs—such as validator commissions—may also apply. These third-party costs are not part of Finst’s commission, but are already deducted before your rewards are paid out. As a result, the reward rates (APY) displayed on our platform and website are net of both Finst’s commission and any applicable third-party costs. Therefore, there are no additional fees or deductions beyond what is reflected in the stated APY.
Finst provides below an indicative range of its own commission per supported crypto-asset. Please note that, as staking rewards fluctuate constantly, this range and the staking APY might change over time.
