The feature offers three core advantages: no lock-up requirements, allowing assets to remain tradable or withdrawable at any time; passive earning on held tokens to maximize capital efficiency; and daily payouts that are automatically compounded into the principal, enabling long-term growth through compounding. In its initial phase, Soft Staking supports a wide range of assets, including BTC, ETH, GT, SOL, POL, SUI, ALGO, DOT, ATOM, AVAX, INJ, APT, ZETA and FLR. Once activated, the system will take daily snapshots of eligible balances starting at 08:00 (UTC) the following day, calculate average holdings, and distribute rewards to users’ spot accounts, ensuring seamless compounding.
Users can enable the feature in two ways: by clicking the Soft Staking button under each supported token in their spot account. Once successfully activated, the button will turn green, indicating the feature is in effect; or by entering the Earn page, selecting Soft Staking, and activating it. To qualify for rewards, users must meet minimum balance requirements for each token. Reward calculations are subject to an upper limit, with excess holdings not generating additional yield. The annual percentage rate (APR) is variable and may adjust daily to ensure stable and competitive returns. The first payout will be distributed between 00:00 and 08:00 (UTC) on the second day after activation, with subsequent rewards delivered daily.
Looking ahead, Gate will continue to enhance the product experience and expand the range of supported tokens and assets, delivering secure, compliant, and diversified wealth management solutions. Through ongoing innovation and service upgrades, Gate aims to help users achieve long-term, sustainable growth while maintaining trading flexibility, further strengthening its leadership in the global crypto market.
