How to stake on Paribu

To stake your crypto assets or Turkish lira on Paribu, you follow the steps of asset selection, pool selection, and amount entry. As long as you have an eligible asset, you can complete the flow in a few taps and view your estimated rewards before the transaction starts.

Before you begin

To start the transaction, the following conditions must be met:

• Your identity verification must be completed
• You must have an available balance of an asset supported by the pool
• The amount you want to stake must not be below the pool's minimum
• The pool must not be in Full status (its capacity must not be filled)

How to access the flow

There are three ways to start the flow:

• Wallet tab: Tap the Earn quick action button on the Wallet tab to go directly to the asset selection screen.
• Asset detail: Tap the Earn button on the detail screen of the crypto asset you want to stake to go directly to the pool list for that asset.
• Turkish lira detail: Tap the Earn button on the Turkish lira detail screen to go directly to the Turkish lira pools.

Step 1: Asset selection

The supported assets are listed on the Choose your asset screen that opens. Next to each asset, the highest annual percentage yield of the available pools for that asset is shown. Using the Assets I own filter at the top of the list, you can limit the view only to suitable assets in your portfolio.

1. Tap the asset you want to stake from the listed assets
2. The pool list screen opens when the asset is selected

The screen displays different empty state messages depending on your situation:

• Assets I own filter is on and you have no eligible assets: "You do not have an asset you can stake."
• No match in search: If your input in the search box at the top does not match any asset, the message "No asset matching … was found" is displayed.
• No eligible asset overall: "There is no asset available for staking."

Note: If you do not have a suitable asset, you can turn off the Assets I own filter to view all supported assets, then buy an asset and continue with the flow.

Step 2: Pool selection

All pools for the asset you have selected are shown in the pool list. Pools are listed in the following order:

1. Featured pools labeled High yield
2. Pools open to participation (unlabeled) — sorted from highest to lowest annual percentage yield
3. Full pools — no new participants are accepted because capacity is filled
4. Joined labeled pools — your active positions

Each pool card includes the following information:

• Annual percentage yield: The pool's estimated annual reward
• Lock period: The period during which your amount will remain locked in the pool

By tapping the card of the pool you want to join, you can navigate to the amount entry screen.

Note: If only one pool is available for the asset you have selected, the pool selection screen is skipped and you go directly to the amount entry screen.

Step 3: Amount entry

On the amount screen, you are expected to enter the amount you want to stake. The screen displays the pool's min/max participation amount, lock period, reward end, and annual percentage yield fields. In pools subject to tax (for example, Turkish lira pools), a Withholding tax row is also shown; in these pools, your estimated rewards are calculated as the after-tax (net) amount.

1. Type the amount you want to stake in the large input field
2. In the Estimated rewards section, the expected reward based on the amount you entered and the pool's annual percentage yield is listed by period; for each period, the date range, principal, period reward, and total cumulative reward are shown (in pools subject to tax, this amount is the after-tax net value)
3. Keep the amount within the pool's minimum and maximum limits
4. To proceed, tap the Stake {asset} button shown with the asset name (for example, Stake ETH; in Turkish lira pools this button appears as Lock TRY)

Note: By tapping the All option next to the input field, you can quickly enter the entire available balance as the amount.

Timeline

The Timeline link on the amount entry screen shows four important points by date:

• Investment time: The moment you opened your position
• Reward start: The date the reward begins to be calculated
• Reward end: The date the reward calculation ends
• Estimated withdrawal time: The date the principal is expected to be returned to your balance

Note: If you make your investment now, your rewards begin to be calculated when the next period starts. There may be a waiting time between when you deposit your amount and the reward start date.

After the transaction

When the transaction is confirmed, a confirmation window titled Staking transaction completed opens. From this window, you can:

• Navigate to the position details
• Start a new flow directly with the Stake another asset button

After the transaction, your information is updated as follows:

• The amount you staked is shown under the Staked sub-category of the locked balance on the asset detail you open from the Wallet tab
• The transaction is added to the Completed tab of the screen that opens from the Transactions icon at the top of the screen as a Stake type transaction
• Your active position is listed in the Pending tab of the same screen; from there you can access its details or cancel it

When you want to end your position, you can cancel early before the term ends. However, the estimated reward is not earned in early cancellation. For details, see the how to cancel an active staking position article.

Warning: The amount you lock throughout the term cannot be used in another transaction. It is recommended to evaluate the term of your amount and your risk profile together.

Frequently asked questions

Can I join multiple pools at the same time?

Yes. You can hold multiple positions open at the same time in different assets or different pools of the same asset. Each position is listed as a separate Joined labeled pool.

Can I add additional amount to an existing position?

You cannot add additional amount to an existing position. You can open an additional position by starting a new transaction in the same pool.

How can I join a full pool?

Full-capacity pools do not accept new participants. When capacity is reopened, the pool returns to open-to-participation status and the Full label is removed; you can then join.

What is the minimum amount?

The minimum amount varies from pool to pool. The pool's minimum and maximum limits are shown on the amount entry screen; if your amount is outside this range, the transaction cannot be completed.

Where can I track the status of my position?

You can track your active positions in the Pending tab of the screen that opens from the Transactions icon at the top of the screen. Completed or cancelled transactions are listed in the Completed tab of the same screen as Stake type transactions; the row description indicates whether each was completed or cancelled.
