FAQ: Flexible Staking

Functionality & Basics

1. What is Flexible Staking?

   Flexible Staking allows you to earn returns on your eligible crypto assets while maintaining liquidity and the ability to trade them, instead of having them locked during the staking process ("Locked Staking").
   
   Tangany dynamically sets a percentage of your crypto assets to be used for staking. This percentage varies depending on the specific crypto asset and current market conditions.
   
   You can still access your crypto assets for trading purposes except in very rare market situations where trading could be temporarily halted.

2. How is Flexible Staking different from fixed (locked) staking?

   With locked staking, you determine which and how many of your crypto assets are staked. These crypto assets are then locked for the duration of the staking period, and you can only access them again once you have issued an unstake request and the blockchain's staking mechanism has released them. Crypto assets held in locked staking cannot be used for trading or transfer purposes

3. Which cryptocurrencies can I stake using Tangany?

   Tangany currently supports staking for Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and the NEAR Protocol (NEAR). Additional cryptocurrencies will be added over time.

4. Is there a minimum amount required to start staking?

   Tangany does not specify a minimum value. However, our partner platforms can define their own minimum values.

5. Can I disable my Flexible Staking consent at any time?

   You can withdraw your consent to Flexible Staking at any time via our partner platform. Alternatively, you can deactivate individual crypto assets for Flexible Staking.
