How to stake on Paribu

To earn yield on your crypto assets or Turkish lira on Paribu, you follow three steps: asset selection, pool selection and amount entry. As long as you hold an eligible asset you can complete the flow in a few steps and see your estimated earnings before the transaction starts.

Before you start

• Your account verification must be complete
• You need an available balance in an asset the pool supports
• The amount you want to stake must not be below the pool's minimum stake amount
• The pool must not be Full
• You need to accept the Earn agreement

How do I reach the flow?

You can start the Earn flow from three places:

• Earn page: Click the Earn link in the top navigation and use the button to earn yield
• Wallet card: Hover over the wallet icon in the top navigation and click Earn in the card
• Asset details: Click an asset on the wallet page and use the Earn button in the window that opens

Note: The flow opens in a window; the page you are on does not change

Step 1: Asset selection

The Select an asset step lists the supported assets. You can narrow the list in two ways:

• Use the Search assets field to search
• Use the filter for the assets you own to limit the view to your own portfolio

Clicking the asset you want to stake takes you to the pool list.

Depending on your situation, different empty list messages appear: if you have no eligible asset, if there is no stakeable asset at all, or if your search does not match anything, the list tells you so.

Tip: If you have no eligible asset, you can turn off the filter for assets you own to see every supported asset, then buy one and return to the flow

Step 2: Pool selection

The {asset} pools step lists the pools for the asset you chose. Each pool card shows:

• Yield percentage — the pool's estimated annual earnings (shown together with the term in pools that have one)
• Term — how long your amount stays locked
• Minimum stake amount and Maximum stake amount

You can sort the pools by yield percentage. The cards carry badges showing their status: High yield, Joined and Full.

Full pools state that the pool has reached its maximum reward amount and that you can participate through a different pool; no new participation is accepted. If no pool is available, the list tells you that no suitable pool was found.

Click the card of the pool you want to join to move to the amount step.

Step 3: Amount entry

In the amount step you enter the amount you want to lock. The screen shows:

• Estimated earnings — the expected earnings based on your amount and the pool's rate
• Reward period — how long your amount stays locked
• Reward end — the date on which the current reward cycle ends
• Min/Max stake — the pool's lower and upper limits

After entering the amount, click the stake button to complete the transaction.

Note: In pools where tax applies, Estimated earnings shows the net amount after withholding tax

Warnings you may see

• If you enter an amount below the lower limit, the minimum you can lock is stated
• If your balance is not enough, a warning tells you that your balance is insufficient for the transaction
• If you exceed the upper limit, you are told the most you can stake in that pool and you may continue with that amount if you wish
• If the pool is closed to new participation at that moment, you are told that the pool is currently closed to new stakes

Accepting the agreement

Earn transactions require you to accept a separate agreement. The transaction cannot be completed without it; the screen shows an Agreement not accepted warning. You can read the agreement text in the window that opens.

After the transaction

When the transaction is complete, a confirmation appears. From that screen you can start a new flow directly to lock another asset.

Your information is updated as follows:

• The amount you locked is deducted from your available balance and moves to your blocked balance; it appears under the Staked heading in the blocked balance breakdown
• The position is listed in the Your earning assets section on the Earn page
• The transaction is added to the Earn tab of your transaction history

You can cancel your position before the term ends, but in that case the estimated earnings are not realised. For details, see How to cancel an active staking position.

Warning: The amount you lock cannot be used in any other transaction during the term. It is recommended that you consider the term length and your own risk profile together

Things to know

• Your account verification must be complete to earn yield
• A separate agreement needs to be accepted
• No new participation is accepted once a pool reaches capacity
• Estimated earnings are not guaranteed; they may differ due to network conditions and periodic changes
• In some pools a legal withholding tax is deducted from the earnings
• Your position does not close when the term ends; it continues with a new cycle and stays open until the pool closes. You receive a notification when the pool closes
• To get your principal back you need to cancel the position yourself
• If you cancel before the term ends, only the principal returns

Frequently asked questions

Does my position close when the reward earning period ends?

No. When the period ends your position does not close; it continues automatically with a new reward cycle and stays open until the pool closes. You receive a notification when the pool closes. If you want your principal back sooner, you need to cancel the position yourself.

Is identity verification required to earn yield?

Yes. Your account verification must be complete to start the Earn flow.

Can I join more than one pool for the same asset?

More than one pool may be offered for an asset, and you can join any pool whose terms suit you. Pools you have joined are marked with the Joined badge on their cards.

Are estimated earnings guaranteed?

No. Displayed earnings are estimates and may differ due to network conditions and periodic changes. The information in the interface also states that yields are not guaranteed.

The pool looks full — what can I do?

No new participation is accepted in a full pool. If another pool is available for the same asset you can join through it, or you can wait for capacity to open up. The Full badge is removed once capacity becomes available.

Is the Earn agreement the same as the account verification agreement?

No, it is a separate agreement. The agreement you accepted while verifying your account is not enough for Earn transactions; you need to accept the Earn agreement separately.

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. The yield rate for each asset is shown highlighted next to it. Featured assets sit as horizontal cards at the top of the screen; Turkish lira is always first.

You can organize the list in three ways: search with the Search asset box, limit the view to assets in your portfolio with the Assets I own filter, and order the list by yield rate with the Yield percentage sorting.

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 earn rewards with."
• 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. Pool cards carry badges indicating their status:

• High yield: The pool offering the highest annual percentage yield
• Joined: A pool in which you have an active position
• Full: A pool that accepts no new participants because its capacity is filled. These pools show the message "The pool has reached the maximum reward amount. You can participate through a different pool." and the card becomes inactive

Each pool card includes the following information:

• Annual percentage yield: The pool's estimated annual reward
• Maturity: The period during which your amount will remain locked in the pool — the same information appears as Reward earning period on the amount entry screen
• Minimum and maximum participation amount
• Pool fill rate

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, Reward earning 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. Set the amount by turning the circular dial, or tap the field and type it with the keyboard; tapping outside the field while the keyboard is open returns you to the dial view
2. In the Estimated rewards section, the expected reward based on the amount you entered and the pool's annual percentage yield is 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: With the 25%, 50%, and All quick selection buttons, you can enter part or all of your available balance in a single tap

If you enter an amount above the pool's upper limit, the Maximum amount you can stake screen opens and shows the most you can stake in that pool; you can continue with that amount if you prefer.

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 current reward cycle ends
• Estimated withdrawal time: The date the principal is expected to become withdrawable at the end of this cycle

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 deducted from your available balance and moves to your blocked balance; you can see this breakdown in the My status section of the asset detail screen
• A fill ring appears around the asset's logo in the Wallet list
• 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; you can also reach it from the active earning card on the relevant asset's detail screen, and from there open the details or cancel it

When you want to end your position, you can cancel early before the reward earning period 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 reward earning period cannot be used in another transaction. It is recommended to evaluate the length of the period and your risk profile together.

Frequently asked questions

Does my position close when the reward earning period ends?

No. When the period ends your position does not close; it continues automatically with a new reward cycle and stays open until the pool closes. You receive a notification when the pool closes. If you want your principal back sooner, you need to cancel the position yourself.

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 canceled transactions are listed in the Completed tab of the same screen as Stake type transactions; the row description indicates whether each was completed or canceled.
