What Is Staking in Crypto, and How Does It Generate Rewards?
Staking is the process of locking up cryptocurrency to support a blockchain network and earn rewards:
How It Works – Users stake their coins in Proof-of-Stake (PoS) networks like Ethereum 2.0, Cardano (ADA), and Polkadot (DOT) to help validate transactions.
Rewards – Stakers earn staking rewards (like interest) based on the amount staked and network conditions.
Methods of Staking:
Direct Staking – Running a validator node (requires technical knowledge).
Delegated Staking – Delegating coins to a validator (simpler for users).
Staking Pools – Groups of stakers combining funds for better rewards.
Risks – Lock-up periods, potential slashing penalties, and validator failures.
Popular Platforms – Binance Staking, Lido (liquid staking), and native blockchain staking services.
