Staking & Proof of Stake
Staking is the process of locking up cryptocurrency to support blockchain operations such as validating transactions and securing the network. In return, stakers earn rewards.
- 02
How Proof of Stake Works
- Validators: Selected to create new blocks based on the amount of tokens they have staked and other factors
- Slashing: A penalty mechanism where validators lose a portion of their staked tokens for malicious behavior or downtime
- Delegation: Users can delegate their tokens to a validator without running their own node
- Epoch: A fixed time period in which validator duties are assigned and rewards are distributed
- 03
Types of Staking
- Native Staking: Directly staking on the blockchain's protocol (e.g., staking ETH on Ethereum)
- Liquid Staking: Staking while receiving a liquid derivative token (e.g., stETH from Lido) that can be used in DeFi
- Exchange Staking: Staking through a centralized exchange that manages the process for you
- Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS): Token holders vote for delegates who validate transactions on their behalf
