Staking is the process of locking up your cryptocurrency to help support the security and operations of a blockchain network. In return, you earn rewards, similar to earning interest in a savings account. By staking your tokens, you’re contributing to the network’s consensus mechanism, which verifies transactions and maintains decentralization.
It’s most commonly associated with blockchains that use Proof of Stake (PoS) or similar models, like Ethereum, Solana, etc. Your staked assets are delegated to a validator node, which helps validate blocks of transactions. In return, the network distributes rewards based on your contribution.
