Crypto staking is the process of actively participating in transaction validation on a proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain. By staking your coins, you help secure the network and earn rewards in return.
Unlike mining which requires expensive hardware, staking allows you to earn passive income simply by holding and locking up your cryptocurrency in a staking wallet or platform.
Earn regular rewards just for holding your coins, similar to earning interest in a savings account.
Your staked coins help secure the blockchain network and validate transactions.
Benefit from potential price appreciation of your staked assets while earning rewards.
