👉 Discover how easy it is to start earning rewards with your crypto holdings.
What Is BNB Staking?
BNB staking involves locking your Binance Coin to support the operations of the Binance Smart Chain, such as validating transactions and maintaining blockchain integrity. In return, participants receive staking rewards—typically distributed in BNB—as compensation for their contribution to network consensus.
This process is powered by the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) mechanism, a modern alternative to energy-intensive mining systems. PoS allows coin holders to become validators or delegate their stake to trusted nodes, ensuring faster, greener, and more scalable blockchain operations.
As one of the leading smart contract platforms, Binance Smart Chain relies heavily on staking to maintain decentralization and security. By participating, you're not just earning rewards—you're helping power a global financial infrastructure.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Stake BNB in Tangem Wallet
Follow these simple steps to begin earning rewards on your BNB:
1. Update or Install the Tangem Wallet App
Ensure you have the latest version of the Tangem Wallet app installed from the App Store or Google Play. Regular updates include critical security patches and feature enhancements.
2. Add Binance Coin (BNB) to Your Portfolio
If BNB isn’t already in your wallet, go to the Markets section, search for “Binance Coin,” and add it to your portfolio view for easy access.
3. Acquire at Least 1 BNB
You’ll need a minimum of 1 BNB to begin staking. You can either:
- Swap other tokens within the app
- Receive BNB via transfer from an external wallet or exchange
Make sure you also have a small amount of BNB left aside for transaction fees.
4. Initiate the Staking Process
Navigate to your BNB token page and tap the Stake button displayed prominently on the screen.
5. Review Staking Details
Before proceeding, check important metrics like:
- Current Annual Percentage Rate (APR)
- Unbonding period (the time required to withdraw staked funds)
- Validator performance history
This information helps you make informed decisions about risk and return.
6. Enter Staking Amount
Input the amount of BNB you'd like to stake. Remember: you cannot stake less than 1 BNB.

7. Select a Validator
Choose from a list of reputable validators responsible for securing the network. Consider factors such as:
- Uptime reliability
- Commission rate
- Historical performance
A well-performing validator increases your chances of consistent reward payouts.
8. Confirm and Sign the Transaction
Tap Continue, then Stake to initiate the transaction. Authenticate using your access code or biometric ID (fingerprint/face recognition), then tap your Tangem card to sign the transaction securely.
9. Completion
Once confirmed, tap Close. Your BNB is now actively staking.
Monitoring Your Staking Rewards
After successful delegation, you can track your accumulated rewards directly within the Tangem app on the BNB token page. Rewards are typically distributed incrementally and may vary based on network conditions and validator performance.
To maximize returns:
- Regularly review validator performance
- Rebalance stakes if underperforming nodes are detected
- Keep an eye on APR fluctuations across cycles
While BSC transaction fees are minimal, they still apply when staking or unstaking. Always ensure you have enough BNB available to cover these small costs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I unstake my BNB at any time?
A: Yes, but there is an unbonding period—typically several days—during which your funds are locked while being withdrawn from the network.
Q: Is my private key ever exposed during staking?
A: No. Tangem’s hardware-based security ensures your private keys remain offline and never leave your physical card.
Q: Are staking rewards guaranteed?
A: No. Rewards depend on network conditions, validator performance, and overall participation levels. They can fluctuate over time.
Q: Do I need internet access to keep my BNB staked?
A: Once staked, no further action is needed. Your funds continue earning rewards even if your device is offline.
Q: What happens if a validator misbehaves?
A: In rare cases of misconduct (like double-signing), validators may be "slashed"—penalized by losing part of their stake. However, Tangem’s staking partner Yield.xyz covers these losses for users.
Q: Can I stake fractional amounts of BNB?
A: No. The minimum staking amount is 1 BNB. You cannot stake partial amounts below this threshold.
