FAQ

Why is a purchase price required for staking income?

Staking theoretically represents an interest with automatic reinvestment.

For this reason, staking is actually "interest income" first and then a purchase of new shares is made for this interest.

Therefore, of course, a purchase price is required in order to be able to record accordingly how the increase in value of the shares thus obtained takes place.

The transaction type "Staking" combines these two processes into one and records both the income and the shares received as a result.
