Staking is a process where you lock up your cryptocurrency to help maintain the blockchain network and, in return, earn rewards.
By staking, you contribute to validating transactions and securing the network, which is similar to how miners work in systems like Bitcoin.
In exchange for your participation,
you’re rewarded with more cryptocurrency. It’s a bit like earning interest on money you keep in a savings account, but for crypto.
However, not all cryptocurrencies allow staking — it’s specific to those that use the “Proof of Stake” system.
