Why should you stake your assets?

Staking is one of the safest and most predictable ways to get rewarded in the crypto space as the value originates from the blockchain’s native currency inflation, which makes it forecastable. You help secure the network and earn rewards by staking your KAVA.

If you do not stake, your assets token share will be diluted among other people’s tokens that are being staked and accumulating new tokens into the network.
