1. What is ETH staking?

Ethereum is a blockchain network that enables smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) through its decentralized virtual machine. Its native token is ETH. By staking ETH tokens and delegating them to validators on the Ethereum network, you can receive equivalent BETH and earn daily BETH rewards.

2. How do I participate in ETH Staking?

You can refer to this article to learn more about how to do ETH staking.

3. Will I lose money by staking ETH?

It’s not guaranteed whether you’ll earn or lose money.

It depends on the conditions of the Ethereum network. ETH Staking preserves your principal in ETH terms but exposes you to the price volatility of ETH.

4. What are the redemption rules for ETH staking?

  • While you can request a redemption at any time, standard redemption may currently take up to 11 days to fully process.

  • The standard redemption period is determined by withdrawal demand on the network at the time of redemption. It can change without prior notice and is not controlled by OKX. However, once your redemption order is submitted, the period is fixed for that redemption.

  • As standard redemption periods may be long, we offer fast redemption to shorten the waiting time and let you receive your funds gradually.

    • Fast redemption is subject to a daily limit, that’s the lower of either:

      • a fixed individual limit of 100 BETH, or

      • a variable platform limit

  • If there’s already a redemption queue, it may take some time before your start receiving your funds.

  • At the end of the standard redemption period, you’ll receive any outstanding amount all at once.

5. Does OKX charge any fees?

We charge a 5% service fee, which includes gas fees. The listed APR already takes this fee into account.

6. What are the rules for calculating and distributing ETH Staking returns?

The return distribution follows a T+1 system, with the return currency being BETH. Returns will be distributed to customers starting from the day after the lock-up, and will be automatically credited to the customer's funding account daily at around 11:30 (UTC+8).

7. How are my BETH rewards calculated?

Rewards depend on the amount of BETH you hold. We take hourly snapshots of your BETH holdings to calculate your rewards.

BETH rewards = (BETH holdings per hourly snapshot − Outflow) × Daily APR / 365

Note: outflow refers to BETH leaving your account, including withdrawals and transfers. This rule also applies in jurisdictions where only transfers are supported.

8. When will I receive my BETH bonus?

Your BETH rewards will be distributed to your funding account daily at 3:00 UTC.

9. Can I redeem my BETH bonus at any time?

Yes, you can redeem BETH bonuses at any time, but the redemption won't be credited immediately. The specific time depends on the Ethereum network conditions.

10. Is BETH withdrawal available on OKX?

Currently, we don’t support BETH withdrawal on OKX. However, you can make use of your BETH in various ways, such as:

  • BETH/USDT and BETH/ETH Spot trading

  • BETH as collateral for loan and trading

  • BETH as campaign entry to earn airdrop rewards

11. Can I receive rewards during the redemption period?

No, once you request for redemption, your BETH will be locked, and you won't receive any further rewards during that time.

12. Is ETH:BETH ratio always 1:1?

Yes, as long as you stake and redeem via OKX ETH Staking, the ratio is always 1:1.

13. Can I use BETH as collateral?

Yes, you can use BETH as collateral for Margin and Loan products while continuing to earn staking rewards.

14. Is ETH Staking proof-of-stake (PoS)?

Yes, ETH Staking is the process of participating in the Ethereum blockchain's Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, where you earn BETH rewards by contributing to the Ethereum network’s security and maintenance.

15. I have requested to redeem my ETH Staking, but the funds haven't arrived. What should I do?

Your funds are currently in the redemption process. If the redemption amount is within the individual and platform limits, it'll be credited immediately; any amount exceeding the limit will be credited within approximately 28 days after submitting the redemption request.
