A New Approach to Asset Appreciation

With the fast-paced evolution of the crypto market, investors are no longer forced to choose between liquidity and yield. Gate's newest Soft Staking feature empowers users to earn extra returns simply by holding tokens—while retaining the flexibility to trade or withdraw assets whenever they choose.

Wide Support for Leading and Emerging Tokens

The initial roster includes BTC, ETH, GT, SOL, POL, SUI, ALGO, DOT, ATOM, AVAX, INJ, APT, ZETA, and FLR. Whether you prefer established assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum or want to explore new public chain tokens, this service gives investors a straightforward way to boost passive income.

Earnings Calculation and Distribution

Gate's transparent earnings system guarantees an equal experience for all users:

• Daily Calculation: Earnings = Average Holdings × Annual Percentage Rate (APR) / 365

• Snapshot Process: Daily snapshots at 08:00 UTC; all data is publicly accessible

• Payout Schedule: Earnings start accruing the day after activation and the following day, Gate pays out between 00:00–08:00 UTC, with ongoing daily distributions.

Three Key Benefits

1. No Asset Lockup: Funds remain fully tradable and withdrawable without time restrictions.

2. Automatic Yields: Hold your tokens and the system calculates and pays interest automatically.

3. Daily Compounding: Earnings are added to your principal daily, driving long-term growth.

How to Start Soft Staking?

Users can activate Soft Staking in two ways:

1. Via Spot Account (Web)

Access your Spot Account, click the Soft Staking button under the desired token. When the button turns green, you have enabled Soft Staking.

1. Via Soft Staking Page

Go to the Finance page, select Soft Staking, and click Activate.

Important Considerations

1. To earn Soft Staking rewards, users must meet minimum holding requirements for each token. There is an upper cap for holdings eligible for rewards; excess amounts will not generate additional income. For more details, please refer to the Soft Staking page.

2. The Soft Staking APR may fluctuate daily. Actual rates are updated based on market conditions. Other factors may also affect rates to keep returns stable and competitive.

3. The first staking payout goes to your Spot Account the day after the snapshot (i.e., the second day after activation) between 00:00–08:00 UTC. Subsequent earnings are paid daily, but delays may occur due to network or system factors.

4. Soft Staking is currently available only on the Web platform.

5. Gate is committed to providing secure, compliant asset growth services. For assistance, please contact official customer support.
