Crypto staking is the activity of placing and locking crypto on a platform for a specified period of time, whether in a wallet, crypto exchange, or DeFi protocol, with the aim of generating passive income by acquiring new coins. (Crypto staking works similarly to a bank deposit).
The types of coins or tokens that can be staked are those that adopt the PoS mechanism, allowing validators to participate in validating transactions on the blockchain.
Some Advantages of Crypto Staking include:
1. Easy and environmentally friendly.
2. Generating passive income in the form of crypto.
3. Double profits if the price rises.
Some Disadvantages of Crypto Staking include:
1. If the price drops drastically, you will lose money if you sell the coins.
2. Lock-up periods prevent coins from being traded.
3. Lack of liquidity, especially if stakers need funds urgently.
