Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I lose control of my coins when staking?
A: Not entirely—you retain ownership, but most assets are locked during the staking period. For example, TRX and LUNA cannot be moved until unstaked.
Q: Are staking rewards guaranteed?
A: Rewards depend on network performance and uptime. While estimates are provided, actual yields may vary slightly.
Q: How often should I claim my rewards?
A: Most require manual claims. It’s best to do so regularly to avoid missing out, especially on assets like HBAR that require claims at least once per year.

A: Yes—Atomic Wallet uses non-custodial architecture. Your private keys stay with you, ensuring full control over your assets.
Q: Which coin offers the fastest return?
