How Flexible and Fixed Staking on Bitvavo Affect Your Diamond Pigs Wallet
If you're staking your crypto through Bitvavo while using Diamond Pigs for automated trading, it's important to understand how different types of staking—flexible and fixed—impact your wallet, performance fees, and trading activity on the Diamond Pigs platform.
What Happens When You Use Flexible Staking
Flexible staking has no impact on your Diamond Pigs experience. Your wallet stays fully functional with no disruption when using flexible staking.
✅ Still Visible to Diamond Pigs: Coins in flexible staking remain visible in your wallet.
✅ Fully Tradable: Diamond Pigs can continue to manage and trade your staked coins.
✅ No Fees or Rebalance Triggered: Flexible staking does not trigger performance fee events or wallet rebalances.
What Happens When You Use Fixed Staking
Fixed staking introduces temporary limitations to how your wallet functions within Diamond Pigs:
❌ Coins Become "Invisible" to Diamond Pigs
When you stake coins with a 30-day (or longer) fixed lock, those coins are no longer visible to Diamond Pigs during the staking period.
Example:
If you have 19 SOL and stake 10 SOL, Diamond Pigs will only see 9 SOL.
However, Bitvavo will still show all 19 SOL in your wallet (website and app).
Key Impacts on Your Diamond Pigs Wallet
Triggers a Performance Fee Event
Because Diamond Pigs sees this as a "withdrawal," it will:Calculate a performance fee (based on the high-water mark).
This is the same behaviour as if you manually withdrew funds.
Automatic Wallet Rebalance
With fewer coins available, your wallet will rebalance based on the new (lower) balance. This might affect your strategy's performance.Wallet Totals Mismatch
Since Bitvavo still shows your full balance (including staked coins), you might notice a mismatch between the total wallet amount you see on Bitvavo and what you see on Diamond Pigs.👉 This is expected and temporary—your staked coins aren’t gone, they’re just hidden from Diamond Pigs until the fixed period ends. We’re currently working with Bitvavo to ensure that the wallet totals shown on your screen match accurately across both platforms.
Return of Coins After Staking Ends
Once your fixed staking period expires:Diamond Pigs will see the coins again as a deposit
The high-water mark for those coins is reset (for the amount that came out of staking).
Your wallet will rebalance again to adjust for the new balance
In summary, fixed staking can temporarily disrupt performance tracking, trigger fees, and cause mismatched wallet views due to visibility limitations.
