High-yield staking meets global fintech's world-class UX, combining the best of blockchain and traditional banking
25, November 24, 2025 - Polkadot , the most scalable, secure, and resilient Web3 platform has today announced the launch of high-yield staking for Polkadot (DOT) and Kusama (KSM) available through the global fintech Revolut , which has more than 65 million customers globally.
By taking zero platform commission, Revolut will pass 100% of on-chain staking rewards directly to users(*1), who can now stake DOT and KSM in just a few clicks, earning competitive DeFi yields while maintaining the security and simplicity of a regulated financial platform.
The staking feature allows users to buy, sell, and exchange digital assets directly within the Revolut app. Revolut's crypto offering combines simplicity with transparency, offering exchange fees as low as 0%, depending on plan and trading volume(*2).
Ongoing fees are based on a customer's Revolut plan, while all conversions, including stablecoins, such as USDC to USD, are processed at a true 1:1 rate with no added fees. This integration allows users to move between fiat and crypto, while managing both savings and staking activity from one place.
For traders seeking deeper liquidity and more advanced tools, Revolut X, the fintech's dedicated crypto exchange for experienced traders, delivers some of the most competitive rates in the market, featuring 0% maker fees and 0.09% taker fees for all, regardless of trading volume. Together, Revolut and Revolut X empower users to save, trade, and spend across both fiat and crypto from a single, integrated ecosystem.
Revolut remains the only banking app in the EEA offering a fully integrated crypto experience, including seamless on-chain transfers and a unified balance between fiat and digital assets.
Dave Sedacca, Lead at Polkadot Capital Group and Director of Finance at Parity , commented: "Greater regulatory clarity enables platforms such as Revolut to help educate users on how participation in decentralized networks enhances their security and resilience, serving as a gateway for more people to understand and explore what Polkadot's blockchain technology has to offer."
By seamlessly combining everyday banking with the borderless opportunities of Web3, including Polkadot and Kusama staking, Revolut is redefining what a financial super app can be, offering a unified experience built for the future of finance.
"Revolut's mission has always been to make money work better for everyone," added Emil Urmanshin, Director - Crypto & New Bets at Revolut . "With DOT and KSM staking, customers can earn genuine DeFi-style yields directly through Revolut, without losing a percentage to third parties. It's the perfect bridge between the open blockchain economy and a regulated TradFi experience."
(*1) A small validator fee of up to 3% of gross staking rewards is deducted on-chain by a third party validator. This is taken before staking rewards reach Revolut.
(*2) Exchange fees as low as 0%, depending on plan and trading volume. Exchange rate and plan fees apply.
