What is KCS Staking?
Última atualização: 12/09/2025
1. What is KCS Staking?
KCS, the native token of the KCC network, was originally launched as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain in 2017 before migrating to KCC in 2021. KCS is central to the KCC ecosystem, functioning as both its core utility token and underlying fuel. KCS continues to drive new features and opportunities within the ecosystem.
KCS Staking lets users lock KuCoin’s native token, KCS, on the platform to earn daily rewards.

2. How much can I earn?
Your rewards depend on the amount staked and the staking duration. The annual percentage rate (APR) serves as a reference. The APR represents the estimated yearly reward rate distributed to stakers. It is calculated using your earnings over the previous two days, without compounding, and is updated every 24 hours.
Note: The annual percentage rate (APR) is not a fixed value. It varies from day to day to reflect market conditions and serves as a reference for that specific day only.
