In the crypto world, holding Bitcoin (BTC) and waiting for its price to rise has long been the classic strategy for most investors. However, as Proof-of-Stake (PoS) mechanisms gain traction, a new dimension is capturing the attention of more and more "diamond hands"—letting your assets generate yield on their own.
Gate has keenly identified this trend and launched a suite of one-click yield products, including "On-Chain Earn." Now, BTC isn’t the only mainstream asset that shouldn’t just sit idle.
Liquidity Meets Yield: Earning 12% on SOL
Solana, a leading high-performance public blockchain, has seen remarkable ecosystem growth. On Gate, holding SOL is no longer just about betting on price swings. According to the latest data from Gate, its SOL staking product stands out, with total staked SOL reaching 517,300—clear evidence of strong market participation.
By staking SOL, users can earn an estimated annual yield of up to 12%. This rate is highly competitive among major Layer 1 staking options. What’s more, the product’s design is particularly noteworthy: after staking SOL, users receive an equivalent amount of GTSOL, a liquid staked asset. This means your assets aren’t "locked away"—GTSOL remains tradable and can be used for other DeFi activities or trading within the Gate platform. This "earn yield while staying flexible" approach significantly boosts capital efficiency.
Beyond SOL: A Full Spectrum of Yield Opportunities for Major Assets
Gate’s yield services aren’t limited to a single blockchain—they cover a wide range of mainstream crypto assets. Whether you’re a long-term BTC believer or a stablecoin arbitrageur, you’ll find a yield solution that fits your strategy.
BTC & ETH: Breathing New Life into "Blue-Chip" Assets
For Bitcoin (BTC) holders, there’s now a better alternative to simply leaving assets in cold storage. Gate’s GTBTC service lets users stake BTC and earn an estimated annual yield of 5.99%. During market rebounds or periods of volatility, this means you can earn steady on-chain returns while waiting for price appreciation—effectively enhancing your long-term holding returns. Likewise, as the backbone of the PoS ecosystem, Ethereum (ETH) staking on Gate offers an annualized yield of 6.20%, keeping this "veteran" asset productive.
Stablecoins & Ecosystem Tokens: Balancing Stability and Opportunity
In the stablecoin space, Gate provides users with low-risk yield options. Both USDT (pegged to the US dollar) and GUSD (Gate’s ecosystem stablecoin) offer estimated annual yields of 3.43% and 3.20%, respectively. For those seeking steady asset growth and shelter from market volatility, these serve as ideal "ballast" allocations.
Gate continues to expand its "On-Chain Earn" lineup as well. For example, the newly launched Conflux (CFX) staking requires as little as 20 CFX to participate, with an estimated annual yield of 6.21%. These low-barrier, flexible products make it easy for users to capture growth opportunities across different blockchain ecosystems.
Why Choose Gate for "Mining" and Yield Generation?
On-chain operations can be daunting, with complex node voting, gas fee management, and lock-up periods deterring many users. Gate’s solution is to simplify everything.

- Professional Risk Management: Gate rigorously reviews protocols to select high-quality projects, reducing the risk of smart contract vulnerabilities or protocol failures.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is PoS staking?
A: PoS (Proof-of-Stake) allows token holders to support blockchain network operations (such as transaction validation) by staking their tokens. In return, the network distributes newly minted tokens as rewards. It’s similar to earning interest by depositing funds in a bank.
Q: Is my asset safe after staking?
A: On Gate, your asset security is protected by the platform’s risk management system and partnerships with high-quality projects. Gate itself does not perform on-chain operations; it acts as a gateway connecting users to on-chain yields, with transparent mechanisms to ensure asset safety.
Q: Are staking yields fixed?
A: No. The annual yields mentioned in this article (e.g., BTC 5.99%, SOL 12%) are reference rates. Actual yields fluctuate daily based on factors like staking participation, block rewards, and network congestion. Final returns are determined by actual distributions.
Q: How do I start my first staking position?
A: Visit the "Earn" section on Gate’s official website, find "On-Chain Earn" or a similar entry, search for the asset you want to stake (such as SOL, CFX, or BTC), click to subscribe, and review the relevant rules to complete the process.
