Dear imToken Users,
Compounding staking is now available for imToken ETH Native Staking.
To get started, update your imToken App to v2.18.0 or later. Then open your ETH account, tap Stake from the navigation bar, and select Native Staking on the staking page.
What is compounding staking?
Validators created in Compounding Staking automatically restake staking rewards back into the validator, allowing your rewards to compound over time and potentially generate greater long-term returns.
How is it different from auto withdrawal mode?
Following Ethereum's Pectra upgrade, Compounding staking introduces a new type of validator with significant improvements over the existing auto withdrawal validator in both reward distribution and staking flexibility.
| Auto Withdrawal Mode | Compounding Mode | |
| Stake Limit per Validator | 32 ETH per validator Maximum 3,200 ETH per staking transaction | 32–1,920 ETH per validator (whole numbers only) Maximum 1,920 ETH per staking transaction |
| Compounding Rewards | Not supported. Staking rewards are automatically transferred to your withdrawal address. | Supported. Staking rewards remain in the validator and are automatically restaked to compound over time. |
| Staking Flexibility | Lower. Additional ETH requires creating a new validator. | Higher. You can add more ETH to an existing active validator and use partial withdrawals. |
How to create a compounding validator
- Update your imToken App to v2.18.0 or later.
