Review

Pros

  • Supports flexible and bonded staking across a broad selection of assets, with rewards paid weekly.
  • Auto Earn can keep eligible assets available for trading or withdrawal while automatically allocating them to supported rewards programs.

Cons

  • Flexible Staking and Auto Earn generally deduct 30% of rewards, while the entry bonded tier deducts 25%.
  • Flexible staking may generate rewards on only up to half of the selected balance for assets with an unbonding period.
