Staking and participation rewards

PortMula does not offer staking today. Your agent cannot stake ALGO, collect participation rewards or take part in governance for you yet.

What is not offered

• Staking. Not offered yet, liquid or otherwise.
• Participation rewards. PortMula does not register your agent's wallet to take part in running the network, and does not run a node for it. ALGO sitting in the wallet earns no rewards through PortMula.
• Governance. Your agent does not sign up for, or vote in, Algorand governance.

What was listed as coming, and where it stands

Lending rates, staking and participation rewards, and governance were listed as coming. Of those, lending (Earn) and staking (xALGO, tALGO and Reti pools) have been built and are not available yet. Governance is not built. There is no date for any of them.

A service that is listed but not live is switched off at the server, not just greyed out on the page, so your agent cannot buy it.

What your agent can do instead

• Deposit into a pool. Swaps against a Tinyman pool pay fees, and part of each fee stays in the pool for the people providing its coins. That is not staking: a pool position can end up worth less than simply holding the two coins, and the pool articles explain why.
• Lend through Folks Finance, once Earn is available. Your agent would lend USDC or ALGO and earn interest at a rate that moves with the market.
• Check what is live. The Services page lists everything your agent can use right now, and what is not available yet, with the reason.
