Staking

Staking means locking up cryptocurrency to help secure a proof-of-stake blockchain and, in return, earning rewards. It is broadly similar to earning interest, though rewards and risks vary by network. Stakers can still lose value if the token price falls, or face penalties on some networks for validator downtime.
