What is "Hold to Earn"

For KuCoin Lite users, "Hold to Earn" allows you to earn rewards on tokens held in your account. It provides full flexibility: you can trade, withdraw, or use your tokens anytime while still earning rewards. 

 

How to Participate Hold to Earn?

To participate in Hold to Earn, simply click Enable on the Portfolio page. Once enabled, you'll automatically start earning staking rewards on any supported tokens held in your account. Please note that the supported tokens are subject to change. Please check the Hold to Earn page for the current list of supported tokens. 
 

 

How are rewards calculated and distributed

Hold to Earn rewards are calculated based on the daily average balance of eligible tokens in your account. Snapshot starts at 00:00 (UTC+8) on the day after you enable Hold to Earn.
The first rewards will be distributed to your account at 18:00 (UTC+8), two days after enabling Hold to Earn. The rewards will be distributed to your account on a daily basis. However, due to network delays, system calculations, and other unforeseeable reasons, reward distributions might be delayed.
Daily Rewards = Hold to Earn Amount × APR ÷ 365 (Calculated to certain decimal places, depending on cryptocurrency.)
Please note that the APR for your Hold to Earn amount is not fixed and is subject to change on a daily basis, unless otherwise stated. The APR for Hold to Earn is set based on various factors to ensure sustainable and competitive rewards. If you disable Hold to Earn, no rewards will be calculated for the day you disable it.

Yes, there is a minimum holding requirement. In addition, there is a cap on the eligible holding amount for earning rewards, any excess will not accrue further rewards. Both of these can be found on the Hold to Earn page.

 

Can I select which individual tokens will participate in Hold to Earn?
