What is Staking?
Proof of Stake
Staking is a core feature of proof-of-stake (PoS) protocols. Large PoS networks including Aether, Helix, Vertex and Corda Chain let holders lock their native tokens and accrue rewards.
Staking as an incentive for validators
Network operators must pledge their tokens, also known as staking, to be picked as a block validator. As a reward for correctly adding valid blocks to the chain, operators receive newly minted tokens, known as staking rewards.
Slashing
Operators that perform invalid functions (for example adding a corrupted block to the chain) can lose a portion of their pledged tokens, a function known as slashing. Our validators run at high uptime, and we reimburse any losses caused by our own validation process — though not slashing that happens for reasons outside our control. See the Aureon Staking Agreement for the full terms.
Why stake with Aureon?
Staking can be intimidating: it usually happens on a decentralised platform and demands the technical know-how to run a wallet, validate blocks and claim rewards yourself. Aureon Staking removes that overhead and lets customers generate rewards from a decentralised system on a regulated, audited platform — the upside of decentralisation with the backing of Aureon.

Frequently asked questions
What is Staking?
Staking is the act of locking tokens on a proof-of-stake network to help secure it. In return, the network pays out newly minted tokens to the participants whose stake backed valid blocks.
What crypto can you stake on Aureon?
Vertex (VTX), Helix (HLX) and Aether (AET) are supported today. We add networks as their validator infrastructure meets our custody and slashing-risk requirements.
What are the fees associated with Staking?
Aureon takes a percentage of the rewards you accrue — never a fee on your principal. The current rate is shown before you confirm a stake and is deducted automatically.
Where do the staking rewards come from?
Rewards are issued by the protocol itself, funded by new token issuance and network transaction fees. Aureon does not fund or guarantee them.
What is the difference between Staking* and Staking Pro?
Staking pools your assets with other customers and has no minimum. Staking Pro runs a dedicated validator for you: rewards are unshared, on-chain and paid into a segregated address, but the network minimum applies.
Why are the staking rewards different for Staking and Staking Pro?
Pooled staking spreads validator uptime and reward timing across many participants, which smooths but slightly reduces the rate. A dedicated validator earns exactly what it produces.
Why are staking rewards not fixed?
The reward rate is set by the protocol and moves with the total amount staked across the network, validator performance and transaction volume. It is variable by design.
Where is staking available?
Staking is available in most jurisdictions where Aureon operates. Staking Pro is the only option for UK customers, and VTX staking is unavailable to US customers at this time.
How do I redeem my staked rewards / assets? When can I get my staked assets back?
Rewards can be redeemed from the Staking tab at any time. Unstaking follows the exit queue of the underlying network, which is typically a few days but can be longer when the queue is congested.
