Staking / PoS (Proof of Stake) / Staking / Locking
What Is It?
Staking (Freezing) is a process involving the locking ("freezing") of a certain amount of cryptocurrency funds in a digital wallet or on a cryptocurrency exchange. This mechanism is part of the Proof of Stake (PoS) algorithm, designed to support the operations and security of a specific blockchain network. Users who engage in staking receive rewards from the network in return, which serves as compensation for their contribution to maintaining and securing the network.
Why Is It Important for Cryptocurrency Traders?
Staking presents an attractive option for those who not only want to invest in cryptocurrencies but also actively contribute to the operation and development of a blockchain network while receiving compensation for their efforts. This strategy is particularly recommended for individuals planning long-term investments and are willing to lock their funds for a specified period.
