Ethereum uses a system called Proof of Stake to validate transactions and secure the network. When you stake ETH, you're helping run the blockchain and are rewarded in return. You don’t need to run your own validator node, NSTAR makes it easy by pooling your ETH with others and managing the technical side for you.
Once staked, your ETH is bonded to the network and begins contributing to block validation. Rewards accumulate automatically and are typically calculated based on how much you’ve staked and how active your validator is.
Ethereum has a short bonding period, and there’s also an unbonding period if you decide to withdraw later. During these times, your ETH is still locked and not earning or transferable.
