Algorand Rewards FAQ

Algorand Foundation's staking rewards program is over as of May 2022. Since Algorand Foundation no longer offers automated rewards to Algo holders, Pera Wallet's rewards display functionality will also be removed in the upcoming releases.

Going forward, you can still earn rewards by participating in the Algorand Foundation's Governance Program by staking Algo in each Governance Period. In addition, other DeFi solutions on Algorand such as Tinyman, Algofi and Pact are also offering staking rewards.

You can connect Pera Wallet to any of these platforms and easily stake your Algos. Rewards and staking information for these platforms will also be visible in Pera Wallet in upcoming releases.

How to create a New Algorand Account on Pera Wallet?

Background Info

The Pera wallet itself is made up of accounts, each with their own unique address, backup phrase, and assets. If you haven't heard these terms before I recommend checking out our other tutorials. However, here's a quick run through:

◾️Your address is a unique string that is used to publicly identify your account. This is what you'll use if you (or others) want to send assets to your account. Your address will look something like this: RL6VDLXCN5G7N2GRTS7YLVDSFT4PVBBUOVTVS7T26OQ5MLXYQKRMI5ADXY

◾️Your recovery passphrase (also called backup phrase or recovery phrase) is the 25-word string that allows you to recover your account. || *It is CRUCIAL to record your backup phrase correctly and store it securely. The only way to recover an Algorand account is with this backup phrase. *Never share your backup phrase, as anyone with access to it can take full control of your account*. The Pera Wallet support team will never ask for your passphrase.

◾️Your assets will include Algos and other Algorand Standard Assets (ASAs) such as USDT, USDC, etc.
