Staking is one of the best ways to earn passive income in the crypto market — and doing this is easier than you think, as you can get started in minutes with little capital.
Currently, due to high fees on the Ethereum network, it doesn’t make economic sense for small farmers to plug in on-chain to our profit sharing pool.
This is why we integrated with BINANCE to give everyone the opportunity to participate in the pool, even with just $100 to your name.
The Binance staking guide here is for absolute beginners — so for those of you out there waiting to step into the world of $FARMstaking, here’s the push you need!
Why Stake $FARM on Binance?
You might be wondering why you should choose to stake $FARM on Binance — especially if there are other platforms (like Harvest Finance itself) where the APY may be higher.
While there are multiple ways to stake $FARM, staking on Binance is great for beginners. You can choose a duration of 30/60/90 days, and the transaction fees are also zero.
Binance takes their cut to cover all the Ethereum gas fees along the way (hence lower APY than at harvest.finance)
There are a couple of on-chain transactions involved and sometimes it might fail, which is not the case at Binance as they bear all the risks.
Besides these two critical benefits, staking on Binance can also be set up in a few minutes and with as little capital as 0.2 $FARM. Together, these make Binance staking suitable for beginners.

Binance Supports Harvest’s Profit-sharing Pool
Some of you may be wondering about Harvest Finance’s profit-sharing mechanism, where fees generated from yield farming strategies’ performances are distributed to FARM stakers.
Binance has directly plugged this into our staking platform, so even if you stake via Binance, you are entitled to $FARM from the Profit Sharing mechanism! This is also subject to auto-compounding, which means less micromanaging on your part.
Happy staking!
