Frequently asked questions

What’s proof-of-stake?

Proof-of-Stake is a consensus mechanism used to verify transactions and events in a cryptocurrency network by requiring participants to put up (or stake) a certain amount of cryptocurrency in exchange for rewards.

What is a staking reward?

When your stake is used to validate a transaction effectively, you are rewarded with a staking reward in the form of the cryptocurrency you are staking, and will automatically be added to your staking wallet.

What are Luno’s fees?

Luno doesn’t charge a fee to stake or unstake your cryptocurrency, but we do take a service fee as a percentage of the reward. Our service fee has already been deducted from the stated reward, so the Annual Reward Percentage you see is what you earn after this deduction. Visit our Fees and Limits page to view the staking service fee.

What’s a validator?

When you stake your crypto to a cryptocurrency network, you are allowing it to be used as what is known as a block validator because you are validating transactions.

What is slashing?

Slashing happens on Ethereum when a validator pushes through a transaction that’s fraudulent in some way. If this happens, the network destroys, or ‘slashes’ the stake, and you will lose your money rather than be rewarded.
