IOTA staking and TLN rewards: your questions
How do I stake IOTA with TokenLabs?
Select native staking in the panel on this page, connect your wallet, enter your IOTA amount and confirm the transaction. You can also select TokenLabs in the official IOTA wallet.
Why choose TokenLabs among IOTA validators?

Does the calculator include TLN and farming?
No. It estimates only one year of IOTA staking rewards using the available APY. TLN incentives and farming are calculated separately. Results vary and are not a guaranteed return.
Can I stake IOTA from the official wallet?
Yes. Open the staking section of the official IOTA wallet and select TokenLabs as your validator. You can also use the staking panel on this page.
Are native and liquid staking the same?

How can I earn IOTA by farming with TLN?
On the TLN page, explore farming pools that accept TLN and reward IOTA. Choose an available pool and deposit your TLN. This is separate from IOTA staking and subject to each pool’s terms.
What is the IOTA staking APY?
IOTA staking APY changes every epoch depending on total network stake and each validator’s performance. This page shows TokenLabs’ current APY, read from the chain, and the calculator uses it to estimate your yearly IOTA rewards.
Is it better to stake IOTA on an exchange or natively?
On an exchange, the platform holds your IOTA and sets its own terms. With native staking your IOTA stays in your wallet, you choose the validator and you receive rewards directly every epoch. With TokenLabs you also receive TLN.
