Injective Staking Calculator

Using the Injective Staking Calculator

This calculator estimates what staking INJ pays over a period you choose, in both coins and dollars. The reward rate is prefilled at 11% — roughly low-to-mid teens, moving inversely with how much INJ is staked — 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 INJ: Delegate INJ to a validator from an Injective or Cosmos wallet; rewards accrue continuously and are claimed manually. Liquidity matters as much as the rate. Unbonding takes 21 days, during which the tokens earn nothing and cannot be moved. 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, INJ has a small supply relative to its market cap, which cuts both ways: rallies are sharp, and so are the reversals. A 11% yield does not protect you from a price move several times that size, so judge staking on total return, not on the APR alone.
