What is passive income?
Passive income is money you earn regularly without needing to put in a significant amount of effort to create it. It’s often referred to as making your money work for you.
Generally, you invest your money in something that will generate an income.
4 ways to make passive income with crypto
1. Yield farming
In simple terms, yield farming involves placing crypto assets to work in liquidity pools to generate returns.
Note that yield farming isn’t simple, and the most successful strategies are highly complex. If you don’t understand exactly what you’re doing, you could lose a significant amount of money.
Sites like yearn.finance make earning a yield in DeFi simpler.
2. Staking
Staking involves holding funds in a crypto wallet to support a blockchain network’s security. In return, stakers earn rewards.
Staking cryptocurrencies is the process of locking up a portion of your funds to help maintain a particular network. These networks are typically Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchains like Ethereum or Polkadot.
In return for helping to secure and maintain the network, stakers receive staking rewards in the form of interest. The annual interest rate or APR, can be anywhere from 0.05% to 100% a year. Usually, a higher interest rate comes with higher risks, so it’s important to do extensive research before staking your funds.
It’s also important to note that every coin has different rules. If you choose to stake Ethereum, for example, you’ll have to lock up your funds for an extended period of time. However, other coins come with shorter staking periods.
The simplest way for a beginner to stake is to use an exchange or a wallet. However, this does come with risks as you’re giving the exchange control of your funds. Also, most exchanges charge a fee for their staking services.
3. Mining
Crypto mining is how transactions are verified and added to the blockchain by a network of computers. The process involves a worldwide network of computers that act as virtual ledgers.
As a reward for their computing power, the miners on the network receive new coins. However, crypto mining has become a highly competitive business in recent years.
4. Crypto savings account
A crypto savings account allows users to generate interest by depositing crypto. Such accounts are provided by companies that will pay you interest for holding your funds on their platform.
However, this is not without risk, as you’ll have to give up control of your crypto to the account provider.
Examples of crypto savings accounts include Celsius Network and YouHodler.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
