Ok, let me explain it this way:
Think of it like a gym membership deposit-
You pay $100 deposit → Get access to gym → Follow rules → Get deposit back later + rewards.
Now to farcaster-
You stake 100 DEGEN tokens → Get voting power → Participate in votes → Earn extra tokens as reward.
Super Simple:
It's like putting money in a savings account - you can't touch it for a while, but you earn interest for keeping it there.
Tell me this helped?
