This article walks through placing a staking request, unstaking, and finding your accumulated staking rewards in your account.
What you'll need
A funded Retired.com account holding an eligible staking asset at or above its minimum (see "What are the staking eligibility requirements?")
Steps / Explanation
How to stake
From a desktop browser
Log in to your Retired.com account in a web browser.
Click Staking in the left-hand navigation menu.
Find the asset you want to stake in the Stakeable Assets table, then click Buy (if you don't yet hold enough of it) or Stake.
On the Asset Details page, scroll to the Staking section and click Stake.
Enter the quantity you want to stake and select Review Order.
Review the order details and select Place to submit your staking request.
From the mobile app
Open the Retired.com mobile app and sign in.
Select the stakeable asset from your holdings.
In the Staking section, tap Stake.
Enter the quantity you want to stake and select Review Order.
Review the order details and select Place Order to submit your staking request.
Staking requests are processed on a regular batch cycle rather than instantly — see "How does staking work?" for what happens between placing the request and your asset actually earning rewards.
How to unstake (browser or mobile app)
Sign in to your account on the web portal or mobile app.
Select the staked asset you want to unstake from your holdings.
On the Asset Details page, in the Staking section, select Unstake.
Enter the quantity you want to unstake and select Review Order.
Review the details and select Unstake to confirm.
Your asset becomes available to trade again once the unstaking request is processed and any network unbonding period completes.
How to view your staking rewards
Total rewards for an asset: Sign in and go to your Current Holdings, select the asset, and scroll to the Staking section of the Asset Details page. Total Net Rewards shows everything the asset has earned from staking, minus fees.
Individual reward payments: Go to Transaction History and look for entries labeled Reward. Select one to view the receipt for that specific payment.
Important Information
Staking rewards vary by asset and may fluctuate over time. You can find the current estimated rate in the Staking section of the Asset Details page or under the Stakeable Assets tab on the Live Prices page.
The USD value of the staking reward reflects the value of the asset at the time the rewards are issued.
Common questions
Can I cancel a staking or unstaking request after I submit it?
Once a request enters processing, it generally can't be cancelled — check the confirmation screen when you submit for the current cutoff. Contact the Service Team if you need to ask about a request already in progress.
Can I stake from a linked account I haven't funded yet?
No. You need to already hold the eligible asset in your Retired.com account at or above the staking minimum before you can stake it.
Does staking or unstaking cost anything upfront?
No upfront fee is charged to place the request. Custodial and staking-provider fees are deducted from the rewards themselves, as described in "Staking overview."
