Trust Wallet Token

<p><a href="https://trustwallet.com/download" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Trust Wallet</a>, available as a mobile app and Chrome Extension, is a simple-to-use, self-custody crypto wallet and gateway to Web3 for people who want to fully own, control, and leverage the power of their digital assets. Trust Wallet allows you to store and manage your crypto and NFTs, buy, sell, and stake crypto to earn rewards, access dApps securely and much more—all in one place. In this guide, we’ll focus on the <a href="https://blog.trustwallet.com/blog/what-is-staking" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">staking</a> feature, and specifically how to stake NEAR.</p><h2 id="header-0">Key details for staking NEAR using Trust Wallet</h2><ul><li><strong>Minimum amount required for staking: </strong>0.1 NEAR</li><li><strong>Lockup period for staking:</strong> 2 days</li><li><strong>Staking yield (APR): </strong>Please see rates listed in the ‘Earn’ section of the Trust Wallet app.</li></ul><p>Trust Wallet does not control the minimum amount, lockup period, or staking rate.</p><h2 id="header-1">What is staking?</h2><p><a href="https://trustwallet.com/earn/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Staking</a> is a method of supporting a proof-of-stake (PoS) or a delegated proof-of-stake (dPoS) blockchain network by holding and &#34;staking&#34; a specific cryptocurrency. This activity contributes to various functions within the network such as transaction validation, upholding the network&#39;s security, and refreshing the blockchain. In return for their staking commitment, participants can earn staking returns, somewhat like earning interest in a traditional banking system.</p><h2 id="header-2">What is Near Protocol?</h2><p>NEAR Protocol is a layer-one blockchain designed as a community-run cloud computing platform. It addresses limitations seen in competing blockchains by focusing on enhanced transaction speeds, improved throughput, and better interoperability. The protocol uses human-readable account names, contrasting with cryptographic wallet addresses commonly used in platforms like Ethereum. It also introduces solutions to scaling problems with its consensus mechanism known as “Doomslug.”</p><p>Managed by the NEAR Collective, the protocol aims to provide a platform that&#39;s secure for managing high-value assets and efficient enough for daily use. Projects such as Flux, a market creation protocol, and Mintbase, an NFT minting platform, exemplify the applications being built on NEAR Protocol. NEAR token holders participate in the network&#39;s governance model and can stake their tokens to secure the network and <a href="https://trustwallet.com/earn/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">earn rewards</a>.</p><h2 id="header-3">Before you stake NEAR using Trust Wallet</h2><p>Before we dive into how to stake NEAR using Trust Wallet, you’ll need to create a wallet if you don’t already have one.

You can check the current rate anytime from within the app.</p><p><strong>Note: </strong>Validators and delegators help secure the network through staking and will sometimes charge a commission for their services. This is neither controlled by Trust Wallet nor does Trust Wallet take any proportion of this commission.</p><h3 id="what-is-the-minimum-amount-to-stake-near">What is the minimum amount to stake NEAR?</h3><p>The minimum stake amount is 0.1 NEAR.</p><h3 id="when-do-i-start-receiving-rewards-when-i-stake-near">When do I start receiving rewards when I stake NEAR?</h3><p>The time to your first reward is: 12 hours.</p><h3 id="what-is-the-reward-frequency-when-i-stake-near">What is the reward frequency when I stake  NEAR?</h3><p>With each epoch (12 hours).</p><h3 id="what-s-the-minimum-reward-amount-in-order-to-claim">What’s the minimum reward amount in order to claim?</h3><p>You claim when unstaking.</p><h3 id="are-my-near-staking-rewards-automatically-restaked">Are my  NEAR staking rewards automatically restaked?</h3><p>Yes.</p><h3 id="what-is-the-lockup-period-when-i-stake-near">What is the lockup period when I stake NEAR?</h3><p>The lockup period is 2 days.</p><h3 id="can-i-use-my-near-while-they-are-staked">Can I use my NEAR while they are staked?</h3><p>No, you won’t be able to use your tokens while they are staked/locked.
