Breaking the Boundaries of Traditional Lock-Up
In the crypto space, investors frequently face a dilemma between maximizing returns and maintaining liquidity. Gate’s Soft Staking rewrites the playbook: simply keep your tokens in a spot account and earn rewards automatically—without sacrificing the freedom to transfer, trade, or withdraw at any time. With this design, you continue to grow your assets’ value while maintaining full access.
Supported Asset Types
At the time of publication, Soft Staking supports a diverse selection of both major and emerging tokens, including BTC, ETH, GT, SOL, POL, SUI, ALGO, DOT, ATOM, AVAX, INJ, APT, ZETA, FLR, and more. Whether you’re holding Bitcoin and Ethereum for stability or looking to capture opportunities on new public chains, this feature enables you to earn additional passive income on your holdings.
Yield Calculation Method
Gate employs a fully transparent calculation process:
- Formula: Average Balance × Annual Percentage Rate (APR) ÷ 365
- Snapshot: Assets are snapshotted daily at 08:00 UTC to ensure fairness
- Distribution: Once activated, earnings start accruing the next day. They are automatically distributed to your account between 00:00 and 08:00 UTC the following day.
This structure gives investors clear insight into their returns and minimizes operational uncertainty.
Three Key Advantages
1. Instant Asset Access: No lock-up—trade or withdraw at any time.
2. Effortless Passive Income: Automatically earn yields just by holding tokens.
3. We add your earnings to your principal every day to amplify long-term growth.
How to Enable Soft Staking?
You can activate Soft Staking in two ways:
1. Through Your Spot Account (Web)
Go to your spot account, click the Soft Staking button under the token. When the button turns green, the feature is active.
2. Via the Soft Staking Page
Navigate to the Finance page, select Soft Staking, and click Activate to enable the service.
Important Notes
1. To receive Soft Staking rewards, users must meet the minimum holding requirement for each token. Rewardable balances are also subject to an upper limit; balances above this cap do not earn additional rewards. For more details, visit the Soft Staking page.
2. The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) for Soft Staking may change daily, as rates are adjusted based on market conditions and other factors to maintain stable and competitive returns.
3. The first distribution of staking rewards is credited to your spot account between 00:00 and 08:00 UTC on the second day after activation (the day after the first snapshot). Subsequent rewards are distributed daily. Please note that delays may occur due to network latency, system processing, or other unforeseen factors.
4. Soft Staking is currently available only on the web platform.
5. Gate is committed to delivering secure and compliant asset growth solutions. If you need assistance, contact official customer support.
