• How to stake Curve Dao Token (CRV)?

  CRV can be staked in the Curve Finance DAO Locker. There is no minimum requirement.

  Go to the Curve DAO Dashboard and choose the preferred lock-up period to stake your CRV.

  Then confirm the transaction. You will receive interest-bearing veCRV.

  Now you are entitled to regularly claim your 3CRV rewards. This is manual process. Please consider transaction costs for each claim.

  You can claim your rewards anytime and they do not get lost ever. So for small rewards you might want to wait to accrue some more in order to save GAS cost.

  If you stake a lot of CRV, it is advised to claim weekly in order to compound your rewards.

  Please note that CRV is not accessible during the lock-up time and there is no early withdrawal function.

• How to farm Curve DAO Token (CRV)?

  Anyone who supplies liquidity to any Curve DEX Pool (Curve Y, Curve Compound, Curve PAX, Curve sUSD, Curve bUSD) will receive CRV tokens proportionally to the size and length of the deposit.

• How much can I earn Staking CRV?

  CRV can be staked for any timeframe between 7 days and 4 years directly on Curve Finance.

  The effective APY is generated by the fees collected from the protocol, which come from trading 50% of all trading fees on Curve as well as any other fees. Thus a higher trading volume on Curve results in higher APY for stakers.

  The protocol fees are being distributed between all participating stakers.

  Please note that those locking-up their stake for 4 years receive the highest possible APY. The longer you lock-up, the higher your APY. Locking-up stake for 1 year results in an APY less by a factor of 4. Please see the below examples:

  1 CRV Locked for 4 years: 1 veCRV

  1 CRV Locked for 2 years: 0.5 veCRV

  1 CRV Locked for 1 year: 0.25 veCRV

  1 CRV Locked for 0.5 years: 0.125 veCRV
