FAQ

1. How do I use this calculator?

Enter the amount of coins you want to stake and the staking period in years. The calculator shows both nominal rewards (before inflation) and real rewards (after inflation).

2. What is the difference between Nominal and Real APY?

Nominal APY shows earnings before considering token inflation. Real APY subtracts inflation to show your true purchasing power gain.

3. Where do I find the inflation rate?

Token inflation rates are available on CoinGecko or official blockchain documentation. Ethereum ~1%, Polkadot ~12%, Solana ~6-8%.

4. What if inflation is higher than APY?

If inflation exceeds your APY, your real return will be negative - your tokens lose purchasing power despite earning rewards.

5. Is staking safe?

Staking carries lower risk than leverage trading but has risks: validator slashing, lock-up periods, and smart contract bugs.
