Read the full Binance Guide


What is Binance Earn?


Binance Earn is the umbrella term for all passive income opportunities on Binance.


The difference to trading is that you do not need to actively buy and sell to make money.


The amount of cryptocurrency you invest in Binance Earn works for you even when you do nothing.


You have different options depending on your risk tolerance and flexibility.


It is ideal for long term holders who want to continuously generate returns.


Binance Earn & Staking Guide

Flexible Savings


With Flexible Savings you deposit an amount of crypto and receive APY in return.


APY stands for Annual Percentage Yield. You can withdraw at any time and therefore have maximum flexibility.


In return you have a lower APY than with Locked Staking. It is therefore ideal for users who want flexibility and do not necessarily want to maximize their returns.


It works very simply, you deposit an amount of crypto and receive rewards credited daily.


Example: you deposit 1000 USDT at 5% APY and receive a small amount of interest every day.


Locked Staking


With Locked Staking you lock your crypto for a fixed period of time.


You receive higher APYs than with Flexible Savings, with various lock up periods such as 30 days, 60 days, 90 days and so on.


The only downside is that you have no access to your coins during this period, hence "Locked" Staking.


It is ideal for long term holders who want to maximize their returns. Example: you lock 1 BTC for 90 days at 8% APY and receive daily rewards in return.


DeFi Staking


With DeFi Staking, Binance stakes the invested amount on DeFi protocols in the background.


You benefit without having to manage your own wallet. Partially higher APYs are possible compared to Flexible Savings.


Binance handles the entire technical process and manages the smart contract risks in the background.


It is ideal for users who want to benefit from DeFi but do not have the technical knowledge themselves.


Binance Staking

Launchpool


With Launchpool you can farm new tokens by staking BNB or other tokens. It is free apart from the opportunity costs.


It is very simple, you stake BNB or other tokens for a certain period of time and receive new cryptocurrencies as a reward.


The cryptocurrencies you farm are often listed on Binance itself shortly after they launch on the Launchpool.


It is ideal for users who want early access to new cryptocurrencies that are being listed on Binance.


The "risk" is that not all coins that get listed always perform well.


Which option is right for you?


  • Flexible Savings — ideal if you want flexibility and access to your coins at any time


  • Locked Staking — ideal if you want to maximize returns and plan to hold your coins long term


  • DeFi Staking — ideal if you want to benefit from DeFi without any technical knowledge


  • Launchpool — ideal if you want early access to new projects and cryptocurrencies being listed on Binance


Risks


  • Locked Staking — no access to your funds during the lock up period


  • DeFi Staking — smart contract risks operating in the background


  • Launchpool — not all coins perform well after listing


  • General — crypto price risk, the value of your staked coins can decrease


  • Only invest what you are willing to lose
