Staking SOL on Hata, is it worth it?
How to stake and unstake SOL, the service fee for each lock period, activation and deactivation, rewards lost if you unstake early, and a net reward calculator.
Quick answer
- Only SOL can be staked. Choose a lock of 14, 30, 60 or 90 days.
- Hata takes a service fee from your rewards, from 35% (14 days) down to 15% (90 days).
- If you unstake early, unpaid rewards are forfeited, and your SOL waits a few more days before it can be sold.
What you need
- SOL in your crypto wallet (minimum 0.1 SOL)
- SOL you really do want to hold for a long time
Read this first, before you look at the rates
Staking SOL is not a fixed deposit. The reward is an estimate, and Hata deducts a service fee from the reward: 35% if you lock for 14 days, 15% if you lock for 90 days. More importantly, the price of SOL itself can fall by more than the reward you earn. If you want to sell next month, do not stake.
On 22 Sep 2026, Daus’s Earn balance was RM0, which means Daus is not staking SOL right now. Daus DCAs into SOL, but holds it in a regular wallet.
Service fee by lock period
| Lock period | Service fee from rewards | Estimated APR in the app |
|---|---|---|
| 14 days | 35% of rewardsStaking service fee, 14-day lock: 35% of rewards | ≈3.39%Estimated SOL staking APR, 14-day lock: about 3.39% a year |
| 30 days | 30% of rewardsStaking service fee, 30-day lock: 30% of rewards | ≈3.66%Estimated SOL staking APR, 30-day lock: about 3.66% a year |
| 60 days | 25% of rewardsStaking service fee, 60-day lock: 25% of rewards | ≈3.92%Estimated SOL staking APR, 60-day lock: about 3.92% a year |
| 90 days | 15% of rewardsStaking service fee, 90-day lock: 15% of rewards | ≈4.44%Estimated SOL staking APR, 90-day lock: about 4.44% a year |
The estimated rate Hata shows in the Earn tab already has this service fee taken out. That’s why longer locks look higher: their service fee is lower. Hata does not charge anything to stake or unstake on the blockchain.
Work out your net reward
Estimated SOL reward in the Earn tab: about 3.39% (14-day lock) to 4.44% (90-day lock) a year, estimatedEstimated SOL staking reward: about 3.39% (14-day lock) to 4.44% (90-day lock) a year, estimated. The calculator uses the app’s rate for each lock period. If the rate in your app has changed, type the new one; the calculator won’t accept a rate higher than that period’s rate.

- Unstake. Tap Unstake. Unpaid rewards are forfeited if you unstake early, and SOL goes into deactivation.
Activation, lock, deactivation
- Activation: after you tap Stake, your SOL is sent to a validator. The app shows this takes 2 to 4 daysActivation period after staking: 2 to 4 days, and the estimated date appears before you confirm. There are no rewards during this period, and the stake cannot be cancelled.
- Lock period: starts from the activation date, not from the day you tap Stake. Example in the app on 22 Sep 2026: 90-day lock, activation 26 Sep, maturity 25 Dec. Rewards build up, and your SOL cannot be sold or sent.
- Maturity date: the lock period ends. If auto-subscribe is on, the next cycle starts without another activation.
- Deactivation: after you unstake, your SOL has to wait before it can be sold. Hata’s help centre says this takes a few days to a few weeks, depending on the networkDeactivation after unstaking: a few days to a few weeks, depending on the network depending on the network; for SOL, the app shows 2 to 4 daysSOL unstaking period in the app: 2 to 4 days.
Unstaking early: what happens
You can unstake at any time once activation is over. But:
When staking suits you, and when it does not
It suits you if you really do want to hold SOL for a long time, you will not need that SOL for a few months, and you understand that the reward is not guaranteed.
It does not suit you if you might want to sell soon, if you will panic when the price falls while your SOL is locked, or if you are hoping the reward will cover a price loss.

How much is the staking reward?
The rate is an estimate Hata shows in the Earn tab, based on past data, and it can change. It already has Hata's service fee deducted. Rewards are not guaranteed, and SOL's price can fall by more than the reward you earn.

What is the staking service fee?
Hata takes a share of staking rewards: 35% on a 14-day lock, 30% for 30 days, 25% for 60 days and 15% for 90 days. There is no other fee to stake or unstake on the blockchain.
How long does unstaking take? Why so slow?
After unstaking there is a deactivation period set by the network, not by Hata. Hata's help centre says a few days to a few weeks; for SOL, the app shows an unstaking period of 2 to 4 days. No rewards are earned during that time.

Can I unstake early?
Yes, once the activation period is over. But all accrued rewards that haven't been paid out are forfeited. Rewards already paid to your wallet stay.

Can I sell SOL while it's staked?
No. Locked SOL cannot be sold or sent until the deactivation period after unstaking has ended.

Is staking Shariah-compliant?
Hata's Shariah page says staking rewards follow the Ujrah principle, and the structure is endorsed by Amanie Advisors. SOL itself carries a Shariah badge. If unsure, ask a scholar or Shariah adviser you trust.
