This list features the top sites for where to go to stake your crypto to earn interest and rewards from hodling.

Lido 5.0 The Lido Blog publishes updates and deep dives on protocol developments, community staking, governance mechanics, multichain expansions, institutional features, and research. Content includes technical guides, governance explainers, ecosystem reports, roadmap progress, and features aimed at both advanced users and newcomers.

ApeX 5.0 ApeX Omni Staking (Staking 4.0) lets users stake the native $APEX and its escrowed version ($esAPEX) to earn weekly rewards paid in APEX tokens. Rewards are drawn from the platform’s fee revenue, which is partially used to buy back APEX tokens for distribution. The staking program has migrated fully into the ApeX Omni arena, and participants benefit from higher yields and a streamlined experience compared to earlier versions.

Coinbase 5.0 Coinbase Earn enables users to earn crypto through staking and learning programs. Staking supports assets like ETH, SOL, and ADA, offering up to 14% APY to secure blockchains, with no Coinbase-imposed lock-up periods. The learning rewards program provides free crypto for completing short educational videos and quizzes on cryptocurrencies. Available in eligible jurisdictions, it’s secure, flexible, and starts with just $1.

Crypto.com 5.0 Crypto.com DeFi Staking enables users to lock tokens in DeFi protocols, earning up to 34.99% in rewards with no staking limits. Supporting over 30 tokens like ETH, SOL, and CRO, it offers a user-friendly app and web platform. Users maintain control via non-custodial wallets, with flexible lock-up periods and real-time reward tracking.

Hyperliquid 5.0 Hyperliquid Staking allows holders of the platform’s native token (HYPE) to delegate their tokens to validators and earn passive rewards, while also helping secure the network. Delegation happens via a staking account that is separate from the spot account. Once staked, HYPE is locked for a short minimum period, and when you move it back to spot, there is a 7-day undelegation (unstaking) queue. Rewards are accrued continuously (by the minute) and paid out daily, with automatic compounding (redelegation) to the chosen validator. The overall yield depends on how much HYPE in total is staked in the system — for example, at a staking pool size of ~400 million HYPE, the annual reward rate is roughly 2.37%.

Kamino Finance Earn

Kamino Finance Earn 5.0 Kamino Earn is a Solana DeFi protocol for earning yields through lending, liquidity provision, and leverage.

Rewards are paid weekly or twice a week depending on the asset, and users can choose whether they want their assets locked with unbonding periods (bonded staking) or available for trading/withdrawal (flexible). Kraken takes a commission on staking rewards, and offerings vary based on region and the particular token.

MEXC 5.0 MEXC offers staking and savings services that let users earn yield on their crypto through both locked and flexible options. Locked staking requires a fixed holding period with higher potential returns, while flexible staking allows withdrawals at any time with proportional rewards. The platform also supports liquid staking solutions, such as for Solana, where users receive tradable tokens that accrue value along with staking rewards.
