Basically, crypto staking is the process of securing and validating a blockchain network by freezing or locking a certain amount of crypto for a certain period. But the crypto that the user keys becomes illiquid or cannot be used for other purposes, which is different from liquid staking where users can use or maintain liquidity by issuing wrapped tokens as a representative of the crypto that is being staked. If users use the LIdo platform they will get stETH and using the Rocket Pool platform they will receive rETH equivalent to the amount of ETH that is being locked.
