⚠️ Risks of Staking NEAR Protocol
Staking is not a savings account. Before staking NEAR, understand the downsides: the market price can drop while your funds are locked or unbonding; validators can be slashed for downtime or misbehaviour, costing you part of your stake; APY is variable and not guaranteed; and staking through an exchange or protocol adds custodial and smart-contract risk.

How much can I earn staking NEAR Protocol?

Is there a lock-up period when staking NEAR?

Is staking NEAR Protocol safe?
Staking NEAR Protocol carries real risks: the NEAR price can fall while your funds are staked or unbonding, validators can be slashed for misbehaviour, and staking through an exchange or third party adds custodial and smart-contract risk.
