- Staking means locking a proof-of-stake coin (like ETH or SOL) to help secure its network, in return for rewards paid in that same coin.
- Native staking delegates the coin directly and often has a waiting period to unstake. Liquid staking gives you a receipt token you can sell instead of waiting. Restaking adds extra yield and extra risk.
- The rate is in the coin, so if its price falls you can lose money in dollars even while earning rewards.

How the native rate is calculated: reward rate 0.00160% per 2h epoch × 4380 epochs/yr = 7.00%. Source: chain API ↗. It's a network-wide estimate: your validator's commission comes out of it, and uptime or slashing can change what you actually get.
How APT staking works
Aptos pays a fixed reward rate per 2-hour epoch to staked APT, set on-chain. Delegation pools and liquid staking tokens (like Amnis) let you stake smaller amounts.
Lockups and unbonding
Stake is locked in 14-day cycles (read live from Aptos' StakingConfig).
What can go wrong
- Smart-contract risk: liquid staking and restaking tokens are contracts that can have bugs.
- Slashing: validators that misbehave or go offline can lose part of the stake, and stakers share the loss.
- Depeg / exit rush: in a panic, receipt tokens can trade below the coin they represent for a while.
- Price risk: the yield is paid in APT. If APT falls 30%, a 5% yield doesn't save you.
- Exchange-issued tokens depend on the exchange staying solvent and honest.
