How Capital Chain Works

Choose a supported cryptocurrency, review the staking conditions, confirm the transaction, and manage your staking position from one platform.

01

The staking journey

Capital Chain is built around a simple flow: decide what you want to stake, understand the conditions attached to that asset, confirm the staking action, then track what happens next.

The exact rules can differ between supported assets. Lock periods, reward calculations, network fees, unstaking requirements and withdrawal timing should always be reviewed for the specific option you choose.

02

Step by step

Eight stages take you from choosing an asset to completing an unstaking or withdrawal request.

01
Choose

Choose a supported asset

Start by selecting one of the cryptocurrencies currently available for staking on Capital Chain. Different assets can have different staking options, so the asset you choose determines which conditions apply.

Review Asset, staking option, availability
02
Connect

Connect your wallet

Connect the wallet you intend to use for the staking transaction. The wallet is used to identify the account initiating the action and to sign the transaction when you are ready to proceed.

Check Correct wallet, correct account, correct network
03
Review

Review the staking conditions

Before committing assets, review the information displayed for that option. This can include the staking period, whether the position is locked or flexible, the displayed reward range, applicable fees, unstaking rules and any waiting period that may apply.

Important Do not judge a staking option by the reward rate alone
04
Confirm

Confirm the staking transaction

Enter the amount you want to stake and review the transaction before signing it in your wallet. Depending on the asset and network, the transaction can include a network fee. Confirm only after checking the amount, wallet, network and transaction details.

Wallet signing Your signature authorizes the transaction
05
Stake

Your assets enter the applicable staking process

After the transaction is confirmed, the assets participate in the staking mechanism that applies to the selected option. The underlying process can vary by asset and should not be assumed to work the same way across every supported cryptocurrency.

Asset specific Mechanism and timing can differ
06
Earn

Rewards accumulate

Once the position is active, rewards can accrue according to the rules of the selected staking option. Displayed reward rates are not guaranteed returns. Actual rewards can change based on the relevant network, protocol rules, validator performance or other conditions.

Rewards Variable, not guaranteed
07
Track

Track your position and rewards

Use the platform to follow your active staking position, view the amount staked, monitor reward progress and review the conditions that still apply to the position.

Monitor Position, rewards, applicable terms
08
Exit

Unstake or withdraw according to the applicable conditions

When you decide to exit a position, follow the unstaking or withdrawal process shown for that asset. Some options may allow faster access, while others can have a lock period, cooldown, unbonding period or another waiting period before funds become available.

Timing Withdrawal availability depends on the selected option
03

What the key terms mean

These are the parts of the process you should understand before confirming a staking action.

01

Wallet connection

Connecting a wallet lets the platform interact with the wallet account you choose. Always confirm that you are using the intended wallet and network before signing a transaction.

02

Transaction signing

A wallet signature authorizes an action. Read the transaction details before approving it. Never share your private key, seed phrase or recovery phrase to complete a staking transaction.

03

Staking period

A staking option may be flexible or may require assets to remain committed for a defined period. The relevant condition should be reviewed before you stake.

04

Reward calculation

Reward amounts depend on the selected staking option and the rules that govern it. A displayed rate is an estimate or current figure, not a promise of a fixed return.

05

Network fees

Blockchain transactions can require network fees. The amount can vary based on the network and current activity, and is separate from any platform fee that may apply.

06

Unstaking and withdrawal

Unstaking begins the process of exiting a staking position. Withdrawal is the point at which the assets become available to move again. Depending on the option, these may not happen at the same time.

04

Before You Stake

Staking can generate rewards, but it also involves conditions and risks. Review the complete staking option before committing funds.

Confirm the cryptocurrency and staking option you selected.

Check whether the position is locked, flexible or subject to a waiting period.

Review the displayed reward information and understand that rewards can change.

Check any network fees or platform fees shown before confirming.

Understand how unstaking and withdrawal work for that specific option.

Make sure the wallet, account and network shown in the transaction are correct.
