Understanding the staking opportunity
In PoS blockchains, staking consists of locking native tokens to earn the right to help secure the chain via a validator. Validators review transactions on the blockchain and bundle them together to propose new blocks. Through these activities, validators earn rewards for stakers who commit part of their assets.
Staking is considered a natural way to earn rewards in the crypto space as it derives value from the inflation of the blockchain's native asset, and transaction fees, where the protocol is the counterparty.
By staking, token holders can earn rewards and grow their digital asset holdings. Staking plays a crucial role in network security, governance, and contributes to the growth of the Web3 ecosystem as a whole.
Why SwissBorg chose Kiln as its staking provider?
