Staking & Yield

Earn the rewards proof-of-stake networks pay for securing them, without running a validator, managing keys or watching uptime. The rate is whatever the chain pays, shown net of our spread before you commit.

The mechanics

Where the reward actually comes from

Proof-of-stake blockchains pay people who lock up their coins to validate transactions. That payment is issued by the protocol itself. It is the most transparent source of yield in crypto, because anyone can read the rate off the chain.

When you stake through Vadix, your USDT is converted into the chosen asset at the allocation window and delegated to validators we have selected for uptime, commission and slashing record. The network pays rewards to that stake on its own schedule; we pass them through, less a disclosed spread, and show them in your dashboard as they accrue.

Because the reward is paid in the staked asset, your position's USDT value still moves with that asset's price. Staking adds to a position; it does not protect it.

The path of one allocation
1

Allocate USDT

Pick the asset and the term from your dashboard. The current net reward rate is displayed on the same screen.

2

Conversion and delegation

USDT is swapped for the asset and delegated to our validator set at the next window.

3

Rewards accrue

The network pays rewards on its own cadence. They are logged against your position as they arrive.

4

Exit

Request an unstake. After the chain's unbonding period (or at term end) the asset is converted back to USDT and credited.

Supported assets

Networks we stake on

Reward rates change with network conditions, so they are not printed here. The live net rate for each asset is shown in your dashboard.

Asset Network Reward paid Typical unbonding Terms offered Status
Ξ Ethereum ETH Ethereum mainnet Continuous Variable; queue-dependent Flexible, 90d, 180d Live
S Solana SOL Solana Every epoch (~2 days) One epoch Flexible, 90d Live
A Cardano ADA Cardano Every epoch (5 days) None (liquid) Flexible Live
D Polkadot DOT Polkadot relay chain Daily 28 days Flexible, 180d Live
P Polygon POL Ethereum (staking contract) Per checkpoint ~2 to 3 days Flexible Live
C Cosmos ATOM Cosmos Hub Per block 21 days Flexible Coming soon

Unbonding periods are set by each network and can change with protocol upgrades. The figure shown at the time you stake is the one that applies.

Choose your term

Flexible or fixed

Fixed terms pay a higher net rate because they let us plan delegation; flexible terms let you leave whenever the chain allows.

Flexible

Unstake at any time. Your exit begins immediately and completes after the network's unbonding period, during which no rewards accrue on the unbonding amount.

  • No commitment beyond the chain's own unbonding
  • Base net reward rate
  • Can be topped up at any window
Higher rate

Fixed term

Commit for 90 or 180 days in exchange for an enhanced net rate. At term end the position converts to USDT automatically, or rolls into flexible if you prefer.

  • Enhanced net reward rate for the term
  • No early exit; plan the money accordingly
  • Automatic conversion or roll-over at maturity
Risks specific to staking

What can go wrong, specifically

Staking is among the more transparent ways to earn in crypto. It is not risk-free, and the risks are different from trading.

  • Price riskYou hold the staked asset. If it falls 40%, a 5% reward does not save the position.
  • SlashingValidators that misbehave or go offline can be penalised by the network. We diversify across validators and absorb minor penalties, but a severe event could reduce principal.
  • Liquidity delayUnbonding periods mean you cannot exit instantly, including during a crash.
  • Rate changesNetwork reward rates fall as more coins are staked and change with protocol upgrades.
  • Smart-contract riskSome staking (such as Polygon) runs through contracts that could in theory contain bugs.
How we reduce them
  • Validator diversificationStake is spread across several operators per chain so one outage does not hit the whole position.
  • Operator due diligenceUptime history, commission, slashing record and key management are reviewed before delegation and re-checked quarterly.
  • Clear unbonding disclosureThe exact exit timeline is displayed when you stake and when you unstake.
  • Rate shown netWhat you see is what accrues. Our spread is disclosed, not hidden in the headline.
Questions

About staking on Vadix

Rewards accrue in the staked asset, which is how the network pays them, and your dashboard shows both the asset amount and its current USDT value. When you unstake, the whole position including rewards is converted to USDT and credited to your wallet.

Not yet. Deposits are accepted in USDT only, and the conversion happens at allocation. Direct deposit of ETH and SOL for staking is on the roadmap. Until then, if you hold those coins in your own wallet, many of their networks let you delegate directly; the Trader Desk team can point you to the official documentation.

It stays staked until the term ends. That is the trade you make for the enhanced rate, and it is why we suggest fixed terms only for money you are certain you will not need and for assets you would be comfortable holding through a bad year.

Each asset has a small minimum set by the practicalities of delegation and conversion. It is shown on the staking screen in your dashboard. There is no maximum, but very large allocations may be staged across several windows to avoid moving the market during conversion.

Yes. Allocated balances across all products count as business volume for the purposes of the referral programme's team levels and milestone rewards. See the Referral Rewards page for how volume is measured.
