❓ Staking Rewards FAQ

🟢 Low Risk Staking

Native blockchain staking (ETH, SOL, ADA) and regulated CEX staking. Smart contract risk is minimal or zero. Best for conservative investors.

🟡 Medium Risk Staking

DeFi liquid staking protocols with audits (Lido, Rocket Pool). Smart contract risk exists but protocols have proven track records.

🔴 High Risk / High Reward

Yield aggregators and newer protocols offering 15%+ APY. Higher smart contract risk, potential for liquidations, or less-tested code.

⚠️ Disclaimer: APY rates are indicative and change constantly based on network conditions, market demand, and protocol parameters. Past yields are not indicative of future returns. Always verify current rates on the protocol's website before staking. Staking involves risk including loss of principal. This is not financial advice.
