What is staking?

Staking is a term used to refer to how much holdings are being staked, and the length of time that they’re being staked, a staker can earn a proportion of rewards. Staking is the process of locking up tokens to support a network while receiving a reward in return (rewards can be increased network utility, monetary compensation, etc.).

Staking is a way of earning interest on your cryptocurrency by depositing it for a fixed period of time. Staking works in a similar way to interest accounts with traditional banks.

Traditional banks pay interest because the bank uses your funds for things like loans and other investments. In staking, your cryptocurrency is put to use as well, in which deposited coins are used to verify transactions on the blockchain. You will be able to receive rewards in return (rewards can be increased network utility, monetary compensation, etc.).

Proof-of-stake crypto about $MEME

$MEME is a proof-of-stake crypto. Every time a block is added to the blockchain, new cryptocurrency coins are minted and distributed as staking rewards to that block’s validator. In most cases, the rewards are the same type of cryptocurrency that participants are staking. Staking involves validators locking up their coins so they can be selected at random by the protocol to create a block.

Participants pledge their coins to the cryptocurrency protocol. From those participants, the protocol chooses validators to confirm blocks of transactions. Your coins are still in your possession when you stake them. You’re essentially putting those staked coins to work, and you’re free to unstake them later if you want to trade them.
