When should I stake CRO to secure the Crypto.com Visa card?
Staking CRO will give you the staking benefits stated above.
You need to stake enough CRO for your metal Crypto.com Visa card. When the stake is locked, we will review your application and as soon as your card status is changed to "Shipped", the card will be on its way to you.
Can I increase the staking amount (upgrade)?
Yes. During the initial 180-days staking period, you can increase the amount of staked CRO, by going to your CRO wallet in the app and selecting the Upgrade button.
You will be prompted to add the difference between your existing stake and the one you are going for (so, for example, if you've currently staked 2,000 CRO and would like to increase to 20,000 CRO, you will need to add 18,000 CRO).
The new stake will reset the timer and another 180-days period will start. To increase your staking amount after your Crypto.com card has been issued, please follow this upgrade process (U.S.) (Singapore) (E.U & U.K) (Canada)(Brazil)(Australia).
How can I unlock my CRO?
After the 180-days staking period is completed, you'll be able to unlock your CRO. Simply go to the CRO wallet in your App and tap the “Unstake” button.
Note, that by unlocking CRO you will be losing a number of wallet benefits that come with CRO staking, for example:
However, your Crypto.com card benefits (e.g. Card Cashback (of up to 2%), LoungeKey™ Access, fee-free ATM withdrawal limits, and Interbank Exchange Rates) will not be affected by un-staking CRO.
How to restake CRO tokens?
Users that have unstaked their CRO following the initial 180 days staking period can restake in the app to enjoy CRO staking benefits.
How to restake CRO
Go to your CRO Wallet in the App.
Tap on the Stake button and follow the guided steps.
Staking a higher tier will make you eligible for that tier's Crypto.com Visa Card.
There is an option* to have it issued at the end of the restaking process.
Note:
Requires App Version 3.50 iOS/Android or later.
The new stake will reset the timer and another 180-days period will start.
