KIN is a Solana blockchain token in the Solana Program Library (SPL) token collection.
Crypto platform AscendEX has added support for Kin (KIN) staking, a Solana SPL token, according to a crypto news release the trading venue shared on Monday.
It means investors can begin staking KIN tokens on 19 September 2022 at 1:00 pm UTC, adding to the many other opportunities available on the platform.
KIN staking on AscendEX Earn
KIN holders can stake their tokens via AscendEX Earn, the centralised crypto trading venue’s staking feature, the release noted. On it, investors will be able to earn up to 5% APR on their delegated KIN deposits.
AscendEX Earn offers access to several Earn products across staking and decentralised finance (DeFi) yield farming, with users benefiting from near-zero gas fees. Minimum delegation amount will be 1,000,000 KIN.
As other suite of products, Kin is also available for “compound mode” – a feature that lets users automatically compound their staking rewards when targeting higher returns, the platform wrote.
Kin is now one of over 90 crypto assets with staking support on AscendEX Earn, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Shiba Inu. Others are stablecoins USD Coin (USDC) and Tether (USDT).
