Staking has become one of the most accessible ways for crypto investors to generate passive income, and with the launch of SOL and CORE on On-chain Earn, users now have even more opportunities to earn real on-chain rewards with minimal effort. Starting December 14, 2023, at 11:30 UTC, OKX introduces these high-potential assets to its On-chain Earn platform, offering transparent, secure, and hassle-free staking experiences.
Whether you're a seasoned staker or new to decentralized finance (DeFi), this update brings powerful benefits: no subscription limits, simplified operations, and real-time on-chain reward tracking. Let’s dive into what makes this launch significant and how you can start earning with SOL and CORE today.
Why Stake SOL and CORE on On-chain Earn?
On-chain Earn stands out by delivering genuine on-chain staking—meaning your assets are actively participating in blockchain consensus mechanisms rather than being pooled into opaque financial products. This ensures full transparency and aligns with the core principles of decentralization.
With the addition of Solana (SOL) and CORE (CORE), users gain exposure to two innovative ecosystems known for speed, scalability, and developer activity. Both networks operate under proof-of-stake (PoS) models, making them ideal candidates for staking-based yield generation.

Understanding the Staking Mechanism
Timing plays a crucial role in when your staked assets start earning rewards.
Subscription Timing Rules
If you subscribe before 03:00 UTC daily:
- CORE: Begins accruing interest at 03:00 UTC the same day. Rewards distributed daily.
- SOL: Begins accruing interest at 03:00 UTC three days later. Rewards distributed every 3 days.
If you subscribe after 03:00 UTC daily:
- CORE: Interest starts at 03:00 UTC the following day.
- SOL: Still begins earning three days after the next cycle (i.e., four days from subscription).
This timing ensures alignment with on-chain validation cycles and maintains consistency across all users.
Redemption Process and Reward Calculation
Flexibility is a core feature of On-chain Earn—you can redeem your principal anytime.
Redemption Guidelines
- Redemption requests can be submitted 24/7.
During redemption:
- No rewards are earned.
- Principal is returned to your funding account after processing.
Processing times:
- SOL: ~3 days
- CORE: ~1 day
If you redeem before a reward distribution:
- OKX calculates pro-rated rewards based on actual staking days.
- These are credited on the next scheduled payout date.
This ensures fair compensation even for partial staking periods.
