Regarding the question of whether cryptocurrency staking can be done directly through CoinEx Onchain, the answer is: CoinEx Onchain itself is not an independent staking protocol or smart contract; it is a tool and window providing transparent verification. However, users can and are highly encouraged to conveniently participate in various staking services through the CoinEx platform and leverage CoinEx Onchain’s transparency to verify and manage the security of their staked assets in real time. This creates a new model of “convenient interest-earning under transparent custody.”
Specifically, users can participate in various staking interest-earning products with a single click through CoinEx’s one-stop financial service interface. For example, its “Flexible Staking” service supports over 50 mainstream tokens, with a minimum investment of 1 USDT and an average annualized floating return of 3% to 8%. For users seeking higher returns, its “Regular Staking” product offers multiple period options such as 30 days, 60 days, and 90 days, with an annualized yield of up to 15%. All staking operations are completed within three clicks, eliminating the need for complex private key management or gas fee payments. According to platform data from 2025, over 700,000 users participated in staking through the service, generating cumulative profits exceeding $50 million.
Although the staking operations are completed internally, CoinEx Onchain plays a crucial role as an “asset health monitor.” The platform regularly (usually every 24 hours) publishes proof of total reserves, including staked assets. Users can independently verify, using CoinEx Onchain’s Merkle tree verification tool, whether their staked assets (such as ETH or SOL) are 100% included in the platform’s total reserves and are in full custody. This process takes an average of only 2 minutes, with a success rate exceeding 99%. This stands in stark contrast to the incidents in 2022 where some platforms misappropriated user-staked assets for high-risk leveraged operations, leading to defaults. CoinEx Onchain’s transparency mechanism fundamentally eliminates the risk of such opaque operations.
Furthermore, CoinEx, through its innovative architecture, integrates some staking operations with decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols. For example, when a user chooses to stake ETH, the platform may delegate the assets to reputable decentralized node service providers such as Lido and Rocket Pool via smart contracts. During this process, CoinEx Onchain publicly discloses the receiving addresses and on-chain flow records. Users can trace the destination and status of their staked assets on the Ethereum blockchain explorer, achieving a verifiable closed loop from centralized entry to decentralized protocol. A third-party audit report in 2025 showed that over 60% of the underlying assets of ETH staked through the CoinEx platform were indeed pegged to publicly verifiable on-chain smart contracts.
Therefore, while you cannot directly stake to a contract called CoinEx Onchain, you can completely trust staking through the CoinEx platform and use CoinEx Onchain as a “public audit log” for your assets. This combination provides simplicity that traditional DeFi staking lacks (no need to handle gas and contract interactions) while compensating for the lack of transparency in traditional CeFi staking. It allows users to easily capture market returns without sacrificing their right to self-verification. Data shows that users who regularly check their assets using CoinEx Onchain tools hold their positions for an average of 40% longer than ordinary users, which fully demonstrates the trust and long-term confidence brought about by transparent verification.
