Earn is designed to give users a clear and predictable custody experience.
You use a self-custodial wallet, approve each required action, and retain visibility and control throughout the staking process.
When you sign up with your email, a self-custodial wallet is created for you on Sats Terminal.
No KYC is required to create an account
No passwords or seed phrases to manage
Your assets are held in your own wallet
Earn cannot move funds without your approval.
This wallet holds your BTC, stablecoins, and any other supported assets used during the staking process.
Earn uses simple, passwordless authentication:
Enter your email
Receive a one-time verification code
Enter the code to sign in
Some steps in the staking process require Earn to perform specific actions on your behalf. Before these actions occur, you will be asked to approve the required permissions.
Permissions are limited to the operations needed for your selected vault
Earn cannot execute transactions without your explicit approval
You can review and manage permissions from your wallet interface
Earn only executes the actions you explicitly approve.
The custody of your BTC and stablecoin staking depends on the lender you choose:
Principal assets are supplied to a smart-contract-based protocol. These flows follow on-chain logic and do not rely on a centralized custodian.
Some vaults operate custodially. In these cases, your assets are held by the staking provider as part of the staking agreement.
Earn clearly indicates the lender type so you can make an informed decision before proceeding.
Throughout the staking journey:
You can track the status of each step
No actions occur without your approval
You maintain control over your wallet and all assets
You can stake or unstake your assets according to the vault’s terms
This structure ensures that you always understand how your assets are handled and what permissions are being used at each stage of the staking process.
