Staking rewards of 12-16% come to XTZ on Kraken
Thanks to improvements made to Tezos reward issuance mechanism, which were brought on by the Paris Protocol update, you can now earn more on your XTZ when you stake with Kraken.
Kraken is introducing Bonded staking for XTZ, which will allow XTZ holders to earn 12-16% APR on their coins. While Kraken has supported flexible staking for XTZ since December 2019, we are now allowing our clients to earn even more on the XTZ they hold in their Kraken accounts.
Already have XTZ in your Kraken account or in another crypto wallet? You can start earning additional rewards on your XTZ with lock up periods as short as 10 days.
You now have two options when earning rewards on your XTZ with Kraken:
- 12-16% on 10-Day Bonded Terms: Lock up your XTZ for just 10 days to maximize your returns and earn an industry leading 12-16% APR with Kraken.

What is Tezos (XTZ)?
Tezos is a cryptocurrency designed to run smart contracts and decentralized applications. Tezos is unique from other protocols, in that it can update its features without the need for a hard fork. It also uses a liquid proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, which allows XTZ owners to delegate validation rights to other token holders and still earn staking rewards without giving up custody of their cryptocurrency.

What is crypto staking?
Crypto staking allows holders of certain cryptocurrencies to earn a reward in return for helping to secure the blockchain network. Staking utilizes a series of incentives and penalties in order to ensure the reliable operation of proof-of-stake based blockchain networks.

What is Bonded staking?
Bonded staking is a way for you to earn even higher rewards on the crypto you hold. While you always have the ability to stake and unstake in moments with flexible staking on Kraken, Bonded staking allows you to earn higher rewards for locking-up your crypto for a short amount of time.
