Bonded Earn is now available directly in the Kraken app and on the web, giving you access to higher reward potential by temporarily committing your crypto for a set period. It’s a simple, guided way to grow your holdings faster, while staying fully informed every step of the way.
What is Bonded Earn?
Bonded Earn, including bonded staking and bonded Opt-In Rewards (OIR), allow you to lock your crypto for a defined time in exchange for better returns. Unlike flexible Earn options or our Auto Earn feature, which let you withdraw anytime with lower rewards, Bonded Earn rewards your commitment with higher, more powerful compounding potential.
And now, it’s all available in the Kraken app and on Kraken web; no advanced tools, no complexity, no Pro account required.
Why go Bonded?
Sometimes, a little commitment goes a long way. Bonded Earn is built for users who want more from their crypto without giving up visibility or control.
🔒 Boost your rewards
Choose from select assets and lock them for a short period to access elevated reward rates.
📅 Know exactly what to expect
From bonding to unbonding, we’ll show you clear timelines up front and notify you when your assets are available again.
📲 Track it all in one place
Monitor what’s bonded, what’s earning and what’s ready to withdraw – all from your Kraken portfolio.
