Go beyond basic staking to maximize your returns.
**Compound Staking**
• Regularly reinvest rewards
• Monthly compounding vs annual makes a real difference
• Automate where possible
**APY Hunting**
• Monitor rates across platforms
• Move to higher yields when beneficial
• Factor in fees and lock-up periods
**Timing Strategies**
• Lock tokens when rates are high
• Use flexible staking during uncertainty
• Build a ladder of lock-up periods
**Dollar-Cost Averaging Stakes**
• Stake regularly rather than all at once
• Smooths out entry price
• Reduces timing risk
**Portfolio Rebalancing**
• Quarterly review allocations
• Sell outperformers, buy underperformers
• Maintain target ratios
**Yield Stacking**
• Combine staking with other yield sources
• Use liquid staking tokens in DeFi
