How does the Level Up subscription billing cycle work?

Your subscription begins upon payment of the yearly or monthly amount. The next billing date depends on your subscription term:

  • Monthly: 30 days after your initial payment, at 00:00 UTC

  • Yearly: 365 days after your initial payment, at 00:00 UTC

What happens if I miss a recurring subscription payment?

If your selected payment method cannot be charged at your monthly billing cycle, we will send you a reminder to update your payment method via email and push notification.

If the payment is still unsuccessful, you will be downgraded to the Basic plan. You will need to resubscribe to reactivate the benefits of your previous tier.

What’s the difference between Level Up CRO Lockup and Level Up CRO Staking?

Your ability to lock up or stake CRO depends on your jurisdiction. Here are the key differences between Level Up CRO Lockup and Level Up CRO Staking:

Level Up CRO Staking

Level Up CRO Lockup

Mechanics

When you stake CRO, your tokens are staked on-chain, allowing you to participate in securing the underlying blockchain. Learn more here.

Staking rewards are paid back to your staked amount, compounding your earnings over time.

Both staking and unstaking involve activation and unbonding periods, respectively.

Reward rates for CRO Lockup are set by Crypto.com based on market conditions and are not compounded.

Availability

The Crypto.com App allows CRO staking for residents of the following territories:

Eligible US* states, UK, EEA, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Bahrain, Oman, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Philippines, Taiwan, and Malaysia.

*Ineligible US states: New York, California, Maryland, New Jersey, and Wisconsin.

CRO Lockup is available for users who are not eligible for CRO Staking.

Can I increase my Level Up CRO Lockup or Stake to upgrade?

Yes. You need to lock up or stake the difference between the amount of CRO you currently have locked up or staked for your plan and the amount required for the upgraded plan.

For example, you currently have a US$2,000 CRO Lockup and wish to upgrade to Pro. You will need to lock up or stake an additional US$3,000 of CRO. The 365-day holding period will restart upon upgrading.

Follow these steps to upgrade your plan:

  1. Go to Level Up in the top-right corner of the home screen

  2. Tap Upgrade in the top-right corner of the Level Up screen

How do I know if my CRO stake is confirmed?

Follow these steps to view your staking status:

  1. From the bottom navigation, go to Accounts > Cronos

  2. Scroll down to view your transaction history, where your CRO Lockup and its status will be displayed

How do I unstake my CRO?

Please note that you can only unstake your CRO in full after the 365-day holding period ends. To unstake your CRO, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Accounts from the bottom navigation > Crypto > Cronos

  2. Under CRO Stake, tap Unstake

  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the transaction

Here’s what each staking status means:

Is my CRO at risk while it’s staked in the Crypto.com App?

When participating in Level Up CRO Staking, your CRO is staked programmatically on the underlying blockchain via third-party node validators.

Please read the applicable Crypto.com App Terms and Conditions carefully regarding the risks of ‘slashing’. Slashing may occur when a validator representing your assets incorrectly validates or fails to validate a transaction. This can result in the non-payment of validation rewards and may subject your staked assets to a penalty.

We recommend conducting your own due diligence before making any decisions, including whether to participate in on-chain staking and related transactions.

What are the differences between CRO Lockup/Cardholder CRO Stake (legacy) for the Crypto.com Card and Level Up?

Cardholder CRO Staking (legacy) and CRO Lockup (legacy) were legacy programs required for users to reserve a Crypto.com Prepaid Card before 6 November 2024.

Level Up launched on 6 November 2024, allowing users to join by locking up or staking CRO, depending on their jurisdiction. Level Up users are not eligible for the legacy Cardholder CRO Staking (legacy) and CRO Lockup (legacy) programmes.

From 2 September 2025, users will have the option to subscribe to Level Up (Plus and Pro plans) or by locking up or staking their CRO. Cardholder CRO Staking (legacy) and CRO Lockup (legacy) will be transitioned to Level Up from this date. This means users with an existing lockup or stake will automatically qualify for a Level Up plan depending on the amount:

For users who joined Level Up after 6 November 2024, there is no change to your CRO lockup/staking rewards. On 2 September 2025, the changes outlined above will be automatically applied.

*Staking rewards are determined by either the on-chain emission rate or the quoted rate above, whichever is lower.

Can I keep my Level Up CRO Lockup even if I am eligible for Level Up CRO Staking?

If you have an existing Level Up CRO Lockup (legacy), you can transition to Level Up CRO Staking for Level Up after your holding period by accepting the applicable terms and conditions.

If you choose not to accept the terms and conditions, you can keep your CRO Lockup; however, you will no longer receive rewards on the locked amount. Your other Level Up benefits will not be impacted.
