Case summary
What happened
Luno currently offers staking to eligible customers in Malaysia, Nigeria and South Africa, with supported assets and interface labels varying by region. Current first-party help material states that Luno connects customers to a selected staking service provider and moves staking-wallet crypto into dedicated validator-node blockchain addresses. Luno's current Staking Terms state that staked cryptoassets are not transferred to the third-party validator, Luno continues holding them on the user's behalf, and the user remains beneficial owner. The terms also document warm-up periods, protocol rules, variable network/validator rewards and slashing risk that may affect rewards or principal. The current Terms are dated June 2023 but are not treated as proof of the service's original launch date, so launch_date remains unresolved.
