Liquid Staking Fees

Liquid Staking fees

Ankr charges fees for Liquid Staking.

Here are the fees applied during staking and unstaking.

Staking

Ankr applies a fee deducted from your staking reward. It is deducted automatically each cycle Ankr receives total rewards from the validators — right before Ankr distributes the received rewards among the stakers.

  • AVAX — 2% from the staking reward; network gas fee.
  • BNB — 10% from the staking reward; a relayer fee is taken when staking for cross-chain asset transfer (0.002 BNB); network gas fee.
  • DOT — 2% from the staking reward; network gas fee.
  • ETH — 10% from the staking reward; network gas fee.
  • FTM — network gas fee.
  • KSM — network gas fee.
  • MATIC — 5% from the staking reward, either on Ethereum or Polygon; network gas fee.

Unstaking

  • AVAX — network gas fee.
  • BNB — network gas fee.
  • DOT — network gas fee.
  • FTM — a burnFee, which depends on the current liquidity and amount to unstake, calculated by the FantomPool smart contract, deducted from the amount the user unstakes.
  • KSM — network gas fee.
  • MATIC — network gas fee; also, for MATIC Liquid Staking on Ethereum, a fee of around 0.025 ETH and for MATIC Liquid Staking on Polygon, a fee of 0.5% of the unstaking amount.
