Introduction to the On-chain Earn Service
The On-chain Earn Service provides a streamlined way for users to earn rewards on their digital assets through staking. This service allows you to stake your digital assets on various supported protocols directly through the platform interface, generating potential returns while maintaining the security and convenience of a centralized service.
When you use this service, you enter into an agreement that governs how your assets are handled, how rewards are calculated and distributed, and what responsibilities both you and the service provider have. Understanding these terms is essential for anyone looking to participate in staking digital assets through this platform.
Key Definitions and Terminology
To properly understand how the On-chain Earn Service works, it's important to familiarize yourself with several key terms:
- DeFi Protocol: A third-party protocol based on one or more decentralized financial applications
- Estimated Rewards: The currently projected rate or amount of rewards, which may differ from actual rewards received
- Fast Redemption: An option to redeem digital assets without waiting for the standard release period (subject to availability)
- Liquid Staking Token (LST): A type of token representing assets staked on certain protocols
- Rewards: Benefits users may receive through staking and redeeming digital assets
- Service Fee: Charges paid to the platform for using the service, typically deducted from rewards
- Staking: The process of locking digital assets in a protocol to support network operations and earn rewards
Eligibility Requirements for Service Use
Before using the On-chain Earn Service, you must meet certain eligibility criteria and acknowledge important conditions:
You confirm that you have the necessary experience and risk tolerance to invest in non-guaranteed digital asset products and that your use of the service complies with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction. You must be the legal owner of all digital assets in your account with legitimate sources of funds.
Additionally, you agree not to use the service for any prohibited activities including money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, market manipulation, or any other illegal purposes. The platform reserves the right to verify your identity and source of funds at any time.

Understanding Service Risks
Participating in digital asset staking involves significant risks that you must acknowledge:
- Market volatility: Digital asset prices can fluctuate dramatically, potentially resulting in substantial losses
- Redemption delays: You may not be able to immediately access or convert your staked assets
- Reward variability: Estimated rewards are not guaranteed, and actual returns may differ
- Technology risks: Technical difficulties may prevent access to your assets or the service
- Protocol risks: Changes to staking protocols or their removal from the platform may affect your investments
- LST limitations: Liquid Staking Tokens may have limited functionality or market availability
Historical performance does not indicate future results, and the platform does not guarantee any specific returns on your staked assets.
How to Use the On-chain Earn Service
Manual Staking Process
You can manually stake your digital assets by selecting a staking protocol and specifying the amount you wish to stake. The platform will display estimated rewards and minimum staking requirements for each protocol. Once you place a staking order, it typically cannot be canceled, revoked, or edited.
Auto-Earn Feature
The platform offers an Auto-Earn feature that automatically stakes idle assets from your funding account. This optional service requires you to explicitly enable it through your account settings. When enabled, eligible digital assets that haven't been transacted for six hours may be automatically staked according to the platform's scanning schedule.
Auto-Earn subscriptions aren't created in real-time but are processed during regular scanning intervals. You can opt out of Auto-Earn at any time, preventing new automatic subscriptions, but must manually redeem any previously staked assets.
Reward Calculation and Distribution
Rewards begin accruing from the Reward Calculation Day, which may not coincide with when you placed your staking order. Rewards are typically calculated daily based on a 365-day year and distributed according to the specific staking protocol's schedule and market conditions.
For certain protocols, rewards may accrue as Liquid Staking Tokens rather than the original staked asset. Reward rates are determined by the chosen staking protocol and can vary based on market conditions and protocol mechanics.
Redemption Process and Options
To access your staked assets, you must submit a redemption request through the platform. Depending on the protocol, partial redemptions may not be permitted, requiring you to redeem your entire staked amount. Once submitted, redemption requests generally cannot be canceled, and processing times may vary significantly.
The platform may offer Fast Redemption when sufficient liquidity is available, but this feature isn't guaranteed and may be suspended without notice. Standard redemption times can range from immediate processing to several days or weeks, depending on protocol requirements and market conditions.
Service Modifications and Termination
The platform reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the service or your access to it at any time. This includes adding or removing staking protocols, changing terms and conditions, or imposing new limits on staking amounts or durations.
Service suspension or termination may occur in various circumstances, including legal or regulatory requirements, suspicious activity, or your failure to provide requested information. The platform typically provides updated terms on its website when changes occur, and continued use of the service constitutes acceptance of these changes.
Limitations of Liability and User Responsibilities
The platform disclaims liability for various situations including service interruptions, technical failures, force majeure events, third-party actions, or changes in applicable laws or regulations. You acknowledge that these factors may lead to abnormal transactions, market conditions, or price fluctuations.
You agree to indemnify the platform against losses arising from your use of the service or violation of the agreement terms. This protection extends to affiliates, associates, and their respective personnel.

How does Fast Redemption work?
Fast Redemption allows users to access their staked assets without waiting for the standard protocol release period, but only when sufficient liquidity is available. This feature isn't guaranteed and may be suspended without notice, requiring users to use standard redemption processes instead.
