We bring AVAX staking and earning to our global customer base (see exceptions below), making it easy for millions of customers to earn rewards on their Avalanche holdings through a platform built on security, scalability and reliability. Customers can start earning in just a few clicks, with no technical setup or maintenance required.
The services are divided into three flavors. Bonded Staking offers rewards up to 10% APY for a limited time, then up to 7% APY. Auto-earn and flexible staking each offer up to 3.5% APY. Rewards are automatically reinvested to help grow holdings over time.
Kraken manages all underlying infrastructure, including validation operations and reward distribution, supported by the platform’s experience operating staking services on large-scale proof-of-stake networks.
John Zettler, Earn Product Director of Kraken: “Staking AVAX has always been possible, but for most holders it meant managing validators and technical complexity. We have made it simple for customers to participate in protocol staking through various Earn offerings. Kraken manages the infrastructure. Customers choose if and how they want to earn.”
John Nahas, Chief Commercial Officer of Ava Labs: “Making staking simple and accessible is key to broadening participation in the Avalanche ecosystem. Kraken’s integration removes the technical barriers that have historically limited users from directly interacting with the network, allowing more AVAX holders to contribute to the security of Avalanche while earning rewards. This is a significant step toward broader adoption of Avalanche.”
AVAX Earn is available globally at launch, including the United States (excluding residents of New York and Maine), United Kingdom, European Union, Canada, Australia and other markets.
Geographic restrictions apply. The projected annual rate is an estimate based on average staking rewards accrued over the past period, before commission, and is subject to change. Staking involves risks, including no guarantee of reward, potential loss due to discounts or hacks, and depreciation of asset value upon staking. Please refer to Kraken Terms of use for additional information.
For flexible staking, Kraken will only stake a portion of your assets. You will receive rewards up to 50% of the assets you choose to stake.
Staking is unregulated and is provided by Payward Commercial Limited.
