Staking FAQs

How are staking rewards calculated?

Staking rewards will depend on your staked amount, the warm-up period, and the reward rate set by the blockchain protocol. Operational fees, validator performance, and network conditions can also affect the net amount you receive.

How often are rewards distributed?

Rewards are distributed on an epoch basis and credited weekly in your Newton account after the initial 2–3 epochs. The exact timing depends on when you stake and the epoch cycle length of each specific coin.

Can I access my staked assets anytime?

No. Staked assets cannot be traded, transferred, or withdrawn while they are staked. In addition, assets are locked during the warm-up period before rewards begin, and again during the cool-down period after you choose to unstake.

How does market volatility affect staked assets?

Staked assets remain subject to market price fluctuations throughout the staking period. The value of your holdings may rise or fall with market conditions, which affects the amount you receive when unstaked.

Are staking rewards guaranteed?

No. Rewards may vary with network performance, validator efficiency, market conditions, and activity levels. In some cases, Newton may (in its discretion) pre-fund wallets to reduce warm-up periods, which can change when rewards begin and may affect reward yields. Learn more here.

Can I lose my staked assets?

Yes. Depending on the asset, staked assets may be lost due to validator slashing (penalties for network issues) or technical errors. Please ensure that you review the applicable risks in the applicable token’s Crypto Asset Statement before staking any assets.

Are staking rewards taxable in Canada?

The CRA may tax staking rewards in different ways depending on your situation. For clarity, review CRA guidance or consult a tax professional.
