What is staking on Paribu and how does it work?

On Paribu you can earn yield by locking the crypto assets or Turkish lira you hold for a certain period. Your amount is put to work during the lock period and earnings accumulate according to the yield percentage. On the website this product is called Earn; you start the flow from the Earn page and see your estimated earnings before the transaction.

What is Earn?

Earning yield is a method where you lock an asset you hold for a certain period and accumulate earnings in return. As the interface itself defines it: Earn is a method where users lock the crypto assets they hold for a certain period, contributing to the operation of the relevant blockchain network and earning yield in the process.

On Paribu this is offered through pools: you choose a pool whose terms suit you and lock your amount. When the term ends, your earnings are transferred to you according to the pool's terms and your position continues automatically.

How do I reach the Earn page?

Click the Earn link in the top navigation to open the Earn page. The page lists the supported assets including Turkish lira, Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Alternatively you can use the Earn button in the wallet card that opens when you hover over the wallet icon, or in an asset details window.

How do I earn yield?

The flow has three steps: asset selection → pool selection → amount entry. For the step-by-step walkthrough, see How to stake on Paribu.

Core concepts

Yield percentage

The Yield percentage expresses a pool's estimated annual yield as a percentage. It is not fixed; it can change depending on participation in the pool, network conditions and the distribution mechanism. If the net and gross rates differ, the position details show Gross earning rate and Net earning rate as separate rows.

Withholding tax

In some pools a legal withholding tax is deducted from the yield you earn. The position details include a withholding tax row, and the gross and net earning rates are shown separately.

Pool

A pool is the structure where amounts under the same asset and the same terms are gathered. You may see three badges on a pool card:

• High yield: a pool offering a yield percentage that stands out from the others
• Joined: a pool where you have an active position
• Full: a pool whose capacity is complete; no new participation is accepted

If a pool is full, a message appears saying the pool has reached its maximum reward amount and that you can participate through a different pool.

Term (reward period)

The Term sets how long one reward cycle lasts and varies by pool. The term is not your position's end date: when it ends your position does not close, it continues with a new cycle and stays open until the pool closes. You receive a notification when the pool closes.

If you cancel before the term ends, your estimated earnings are not realised.

Note: This information appears as Term in the pool list and as Reward period in the amount step. Both describe the same duration

Participation limits

Every pool has a minimum and a maximum stake amount. If you enter an amount below the limit, the minimum you can lock is shown on screen; if you exceed the upper limit, you are told the most you can stake in that pool.

Earn requires a separate agreement

Earn transactions require you to accept a separate agreement from your account verification agreement. The transaction cannot be completed without it; the screen shows an Agreement not accepted warning with the explanation that you need to accept the agreement to continue.

You can read the agreement text in the window that opens during the transaction.

How does my position appear in my balance?

The amount you lock is deducted from your available balance and moves to your blocked balance; in the blocked balance breakdown it appears under the Staked heading.

You can reach your active positions in three places: the Your earning assets section on the Earn page, the Earn tab in your transaction history, and the details window of the relevant asset.

Does Earn carry risk?

Yes. The FAQ section in the interface states this clearly: the value of assets may change depending on market conditions, assets stay locked throughout the Earn period and may not be withdrawable during that time, and yields are not guaranteed.

Warning: Earning yield is not investment advice. Displayed earnings are estimates and may differ due to network conditions and periodic changes

Things to know

• Earn requires a separate agreement to be accepted
• The amount you lock cannot be used in any other transaction during the term
• Your position does not close when the term ends; it continues until 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 to your balance and the estimated earnings are not realised
• The yield percentage is not fixed; it is the estimated annual rate valid at the moment you start the transaction
• In some pools a legal withholding tax is deducted from the earnings
• Pools that reach capacity are marked Full and accept no new participation
• The list of supported assets changes over time; check the current list on the Earn page

Frequently asked questions

Which assets can I earn yield on?

You can earn yield with Turkish lira and some of the crypto assets. Supported assets are listed with their yield percentages on the Earn page and in the asset selection step. Because the list changes with pool and network updates, checking the current version on screen is the most reliable approach.

Is the yield percentage fixed?

No. The yield percentage can change depending on the network participation rate, pool capacity and the distribution mechanism. The rate shown on the pool card is the estimated annual rate valid at the moment you start the transaction.

Is tax deducted from my yield?

In some pools a legal withholding tax is deducted from the yield you earn. You can see the withholding tax row and the gross and net earning rates separately in the position details.

Can I withdraw my principal early?

Yes, you can cancel the position before the term ends. In that case the estimated earnings are not realised; only the principal returns to your balance. For details, see How to cancel an active staking position.

When do my earnings reach my balance?

Reward distribution varies from pool to pool. You can see the relevant dates in the reward distribution time and reward end fields of the position details.

Are Earn and DeFi the same thing?

No, they are different products. Earn is fully available on the website. On the DeFi side the website is view-only; DeFi transactions are carried out in the mobile app.

On Paribu, you can earn staking rewards by locking your crypto assets or Turkish lira for a specified period. During the lock period, your amount accrues a reward calculated based on the annual percentage yield. You can start the transaction with the Earn quick action button on the Wallet tab, and view your estimated rewards before the transaction.

What is staking?

Staking is a method by which you lock your asset for a specified period and earn a reward in return. On Paribu, this is offered through pools: you choose a pool whose conditions suit you and lock your amount. When the reward earning period ends, your reward is credited to you according to the pool's conditions and your position continues automatically; all the technical work in the background is handled by Paribu.

How to stake on Paribu

The staking flow on Paribu consists of three main steps:

1. Asset selection: Supported assets are listed together with their annual percentage yield information. Featured assets are presented as horizontal cards at the top of the list; Turkish lira is always first.
2. Pool selection: Different pools may be offered for each asset. Pool cards display the annual percentage yield, the reward earning period, the minimum and maximum participation amount, and the pool fill rate; depending on the pool's status, a High yield, Joined, or Full badge appears.
3. Amount entry: You set the amount you will stake within the pool's minimum and maximum limits. Paribu shows the estimated reward by period based on the amount you enter.

To start the transaction, tap the Earn quick action button on the Wallet tab. For step-by-step instructions, see the how to stake on Paribu article.

Key concepts

Annual percentage yield

Annual percentage yield expresses the estimated annual reward of a pool as a percentage. For example, an 8% rate indicates that the amount you stake will earn approximately 8% reward when held in the pool for one year. The annual percentage yield is not fixed; it may vary depending on pool participation, network conditions, and the distribution mechanism. In pools subject to tax, the estimated reward shown is the after-tax net amount. If the net and gross rates differ, the position details show Gross yield percentage and Net yield percentage as separate rows; for Turkish lira positions only the gross rate is shown.

If you have a yield boost based on your Loyalty level, the rate is shown highlighted next to the struck-through original value.

Withholding tax

In some pools (for example, Turkish lira pools), a statutory withholding tax is deducted from the reward you earn. In pools where this deduction applies, a Withholding tax row appears on the amount entry screen, and your estimated rewards are shown as the after-tax (net) amount. This row does not appear in pools that are not subject to tax.

Pool

A pool is a structure where amounts under the same asset and the same conditions are combined. Paribu offers staking processes on networks through pools. You may see three different labels on a pool card:

• High yield: A pool that offers a notable annual percentage yield compared to others
• Full: A pool whose capacity is filled; no new participants are accepted
• Joined: A pool in which you have an active position

Unlabeled pools are open to participation.

Reward earning period

The reward earning period determines how long one reward cycle lasts. All pools operate with a fixed period; the duration varies depending on the pool.

The period is not your position's end date: when it ends your position does not close, it continues with a new cycle and stays open until the pool closes. You receive a notification when the pool closes. If you cancel before the period ends, the estimated reward is not earned. For detailed information, see the how to cancel an active staking position article.

Note: This information appears as Reward earning period on the amount entry screen and as Maturity on the pool list. Both refer to the same duration

Capacity

Each pool has a maximum amount it can collect. When capacity is filled, the pool is marked as Full and no new participants are accepted. When space opens up in full-capacity pools, the pool returns to open-to-participation status and the Full label is removed.

Organising the asset list

By using the Assets I own filter on the asset selection screen, you can limit the list to only suitable assets in your portfolio. When you turn off the filter, all supported assets on Paribu are displayed.

With the Yield percentage sorting, you can order the list by yield rate in ascending or descending order. Popular assets show a badge, and assets you own show a fill ring indicating how much of your balance is earning.

When do rewards begin to be calculated?

The moment you join the pool, your rewards begin to be calculated not immediately, but when the relevant pool's next reward period starts. The Timeline on the amount entry screen shows the investment time together with the reward start and end dates; you can also track the estimated withdrawal time on this timeline. The warning on the screen summarizes this: "If you make your investment now, your rewards will begin to be calculated when the next period starts."

How does your position appear on your balance?

The amount you lock 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. In the Wallet list, a fill ring appears around the asset's logo — the ring shows how much of your balance is earning.

You can reach your active positions from three places: the Pending tab of the Transactions screen, the active earning card on the relevant asset's detail screen, and the Staked assets section of the Asset analysis screen. For details, see the portfolio overview article.

Important notes

The amount you lock stays in the pool throughout the reward earning period; during this period, it cannot be sold or used in another transaction. If you cancel before the period ends, only the principal is returned to your balance, and the estimated reward is not earned. For details, see the how to cancel an active staking position article.

Warning: Staking does not constitute investment advice. When choosing a pool, it is recommended to evaluate the annual percentage yield, the reward earning period, and your own risk profile together.

Frequently asked questions

Which assets can I stake?

You can earn rewards with a selection of crypto assets and with Turkish lira. Supported assets are listed with their annual percentage yields on the Choose your asset screen. The list changes over time as networks and pools are updated, so viewing the current list from within the app is the most reliable approach.

Is the annual percentage yield fixed?

The annual percentage yield may vary depending on the network's participation rate, pool capacity, and the distribution mechanism. The annual percentage yield shown in the pool details is the estimated annual rate valid at the moment you start the transaction.

Is tax deducted from my rewards?

In pools subject to tax (for example, Turkish lira pools), a statutory withholding tax is deducted from the reward you earn. In these pools, you can see the Withholding tax row on the amount entry screen, while the Estimated rewards field shows the after-tax net amount. No deduction is made in pools that are not subject to tax.

Can I withdraw my principal early?

Yes, you can cancel the position before the reward earning period ends. However, in this case, the estimated reward is not earned; only the principal is returned to your balance. For details, see the how to cancel an active staking position article.

When are my rewards reflected in my balance?

Reward distribution varies from pool to pool. In some pools, rewards are distributed in periods throughout the earning period; in others, they are credited to your balance in a single payment at the end of the period. You can view the relevant dates from the Reward end field on the pool detail screen and the Reward distribution time field in the active position detail.
