Does XLM Have Staking?
Does Stellar (XLM) Have Staking? The Truth in 2026Short Answer: No, Stellar (XLM) does not have native staking.
Unlike Ethereum or Solana, Stellar uses the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), not Proof of Stake. This means you cannot stake XLM to validators and earn traditional staking rewards.
Why Platforms Call It "XLM Staking":
- Marketing simplification — "staking" is familiar to crypto users
- Actually means lending, savings, or yield strategies
- Can be misleading — know what you're actually signing up for

Transfer XLM
Send XLM from your wallet (Lobstr, Trust Wallet) or exchange (Binance, Coinbase) to the platform's deposit address.
IMPORTANT: Verify network before sending:
• Network: Stellar (XLM) — XLM operates exclusively on the Stellar network. Do not use ERC-20, TRC-20, or BEP-20 — funds sent on the wrong network will be lost.
• Memo is required — Always include the Memo/Tag provided by EarnPark. Sending without a Memo may result in funds not being credited to your account.

Select Your Strategy
Choose between flexible and fixed terms:
• Flexible (Lower APY): Withdraw anytime, no lock-up. Good for emergency funds.
• Fixed (Higher APY): 30 day lock-up for 1-3% higher returns. Better for long-term holds.
4.

Your XLM begins earning immediately. Interest compounds daily.
Monitor performance:
• Check daily/weekly returns
