What Is Staking?

Staking is locking crypto with a protocol or exchange to help secure the network and earn periodic rewards (usually paid in the same token). In Navexa, these rewards are recorded as Income on the existing holding, not as trades.

What You Can (and Can’t) Do

  • No sync via integrations: Staking rewards don’t come through exchange/broker connections right now.

  • No bulk upload/import: You can’t import staking in a spreadsheet or file at the moment.

  • Add it manually as Income: Staking is not a trade. You record it on the holding’s Income tab.

💡 Tip: The key is treating staking rewards as income on an existing holding, which is why you won’t see “Staking” in the Trade Type menu.

Before You Start

  • Make sure the crypto holding exists in your portfolio.

  • Have the quantity received and the AUD fiat price at the time you received it.


Add a Staking Reward (Step-by-Step)

  1. Go to PortfolioHoldings and click the crypto holding (e.g., ETH).

  2. Open the Income tab and select Add.

  3. In Income Type, choose Staking.

  4. Complete the fields (see “Field Reference” below).

  5. Click Add Income to save.

Field Reference

  1. Income Type: Select Staking.

  2. Received Date: The date the reward was received to your wallet/exchange.

  3. Quantity Received: The number of coins/tokens credited from staking.

  4. Fiat Price (AUD): The AUD spot price at the time you received the reward.

  5. Notes (Optional): Add any reference (wallet, tx hash, period, etc.).

  6. Total Income Received: Auto-calculated from quantity × fiat price.

FAQs

Why isn’t there a “Staking” option under trades?
Staking rewards aren’t buy/sell transactions. They’re income credited to your holding, so you’ll find Staking under Income.

Can I bulk add or import staking rewards?
Not yet. There’s currently no bulk upload or file import for staking. Add each reward manually on the holding’s Income tab.

Do staking entries change my units?
Yes. Recording a staking reward increases the quantity of the holding by the amount received and records the AUD value at receipt time, which contributes to performance reporting.

What if rewards are paid in another token?
Add the income to the holding for the token you actually received. If you don’t have that holding yet, create it first, then add the staking income.


Remember, this is general information, not personal financial advice. For tax treatment of staking, check official ATO guidance or speak with your tax adviser.
