Celestia Staking Calculator

Using the Celestia Staking Calculator

This calculator estimates what staking TIA pays over a period you choose, in both coins and dollars. The reward rate is prefilled at 10% — high single digits to low teens, declining as protocol inflation steps down each year — but treat that as a starting point, not a quote: staking rates move with participation and with validator commission, so put in the rate your own validator advertises.

How you stake TIA: Delegate TIA to a validator from a Keplr or Celestia wallet; rewards accrue per block and are claimed manually. Liquidity matters as much as the rate. Unbonding takes 21 days, and staked TIA cannot be moved during it. A high advertised rate on a coin you cannot exit quickly is a different product from the same rate on a liquid position, and that difference shows up exactly when you need it — during a sharp drawdown.

Two things the dollar figure cannot tell you. First, rewards are usually taxable as income when you receive them in most jurisdictions, at the value on the day — see the tax guide for your country. Second, TIA carried a very large unlock schedule after launch and has been sensitive to the modular-versus-monolithic debate swinging back and forth. A 10% yield does not protect you from a price move several times that size, so judge staking on total return, not on the APR alone.
