We’re pleased to announce that starting today, customers can stake Polkadot (DOT) and earn up to 15% APY at launch — the highest on-chain staking rewards offered on any major U.S. crypto platform.
Since we released our enhanced Staking product in June 2022, we’ve committed to expanding our staking offering to include more highly-requested cryptocurrencies. Last month, we added Polygon (MATIC), as part of our quest to offer the widest selection of on-chain staking assets with the highest APYs.
Unlike other platforms, all Binance.US customers can qualify for class-leading APYs, with no minimum amount you have to stake and no mandatory lock-up periods. Please note depending on the asset you want to stake, an unstaking period may apply.
Binance.US customers can now buy, sell, convert, or stake DOT in minutes on the best crypto platform for low fees.
What is Polkadot (DOT)?
Polkadot is a decentralized protocol designed to enable different blockchains to transact with one another. The Polkadot ecosystem includes an ecosystem of parallel chains, or “parachains” that bridge to a single base platform known as the “Relay Chain”.
DOT, Polkadot’s native token, is used for governance in order to manage the protocol, as well as staking and bonding. The latter refers to the practice of bonding, or locking DOT in order to add new parachains.
