In March / April 2011 Crypto Exchange,  Coinlist offered the first real chance for most people to purchase MINA in an ICO. Over 300,000 people registered on their website and on Apr 13th 2021 approx 40,000 people were able to purchase 2000 MINA worth $500 for the price of $0.25c each.

Many of this 40,000 decided to leave their tokens on the exchange and benefit from the estimated 24% Supercharged Rewards. Below is information taken directly from the Coinlist website regarding Staking Mina on Coinlist.

1. What is MINA staking?

MINA is the native utility token for the Mina blockchain. Instead of using miners and a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism to verify transactions and maintain the integrity of the Mina blockchain, Mina uses a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism. This means that network participants are able to stake a certain amount of MINA for the right to honestly verify transactions on Mina and receive rewards for doing so. Additionally, MINA owners are able to lock their tokens and vote for these network participants, known as validators. MINA holders that lock and vote their tokens receive additional MINA as a reward for voting for honest and active validators on the network. CoinList manages the locking and voting for users who deposit MINA into their CoinList wallet so they can passively receive additional MINA.

2. How do I earn MINA staking rewards on CoinList?

When you deposit or purchase MINA on CoinList, you may be eligible to receive staking rewards by keeping MINA in your CoinList Wallet. Once you deposit MINA into your CoinList Wallet, you are automatically opted into staking rewards. There is no action on your end required to participate. Please note that MINA held on CoinList Pro do not earn staking rewards.

3. How much are MINA staking rewards?

The MINA network currently has an estimated 24% in rewards for users that have MINA deposited into their CoinList wallets. Please note that this estimated APY is not guaranteed, is subject to change, and does not take into account the CoinList commission fee.

4. What fees are charged for this staking service?

A 15% fee will be taken from your earned staking rewards. Your staked principal will not be affected by the fee.

5. Do I have to buy my MINA on CoinList to earn staking rewards?
