In order to stake tokens, you must meet several eligibility requirements. Coinbase does not guarantee that you’ll receive staking rewards, any specific reward, or any staking return over time.
Eligible tokens
Depending on the token you stake, the reward value will differ. You can view these values by going to the Earn tab on Coinbase.com or the Coinbase mobile app.
Any assets that are eligible to earn staking rewards will have both a primary and an earning balance.
Primary balance: the amount that isn’t staked and isn’t currently earning rewards
Earning balance: the amount that you have staked, including any automatically restaked rewards
