<p>Terra&#8217;s native token, LUNA, is used to vote on governance proposals and to collateralize the UST stablecoin. UST is an algorithmic stablecoin pegged to the value of USD. Whenever a user wants to mint UST, they need to burn an equivalent amount of LUNA, this back and forth system forms the basis of the demand and supply of LUNA. By the end of this staking guide, you will know the ins and outs of how to stake LUNA on the non-custodial Terra Station Wallet and be on your way to set up another stream of passive income. If you want to better calculate how much you can earn from staking LUNA, check out our <a href="https://www.stakingrewards.com/earn/terra/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LUNA Staking Calculator</a>.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2>



<p>When users stake their LUNA, they secure the network and get paid a portion of the swap fees between LUNA and UST. In addition, it qualifies to receive airdrops from many Terra Ecosystem projects. Delegators of Luna can on average earn up to 8.5% APR on their LUNA. <br>Furthermore, as the demand for UST goes up, LUNA is burnt which makes LUNA deflationary, adding to the user&#8217;s return. Ultimately, staking LUNA allows users to earn passive income on a deflationary token, quite an attractive prospect compared to the sub 0.5% interest rate in savings accounts.  </p>
