What is staking?
Staking refers to the act of committing digital assets to support the operation, governance, or security of a network. This can take different forms depending on the protocol — such as validating transactions, providing liquidity, locking assets in smart contracts, or participating in consensus mechanisms like Proof of Stake (PoS), Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS), or newer hybrid models.
How does staking work?
Participants lock or delegate a specific amount of cryptocurrency to a network mechanism, validator, or protocol module. These assets are typically subject to a defined lock-up or cooldown period before redemption. In return, participants help secure and govern the network, and are compensated with staking rewards proportional to their contribution.
What is the importance of staking?
By staking, participants play a critical role in maintaining the health, performance, and integrity of blockchain ecosystems. In exchange for their contribution — whether through securing the network, validating transactions, or providing capital to decentralized systems — they earn rewards, typically in the form of additional assets distributed by the protocol.
What are some of the risks involved?
Staking is the most secure way to strengthen the network and generate yield(rewards). The only risk comes in two forms: slashing and missed rewards. Blockchain Network/Protocol penalises for validator misbehavior (e.g., prolonged downtime, equivocation/double‑signing) that can reduce staked balances or missing block and participatory rewards.
How can I start staking?
If you do not need a custodial solution:
- Use a wallet that supports staking for the target blockchain.
- Hold the native token on the correct chain.
- In the wallet’s staking/delegation section, select a reputable validator (e.g., Hex Trust) and delegate your tokens.
If you do need a custodial solution:
- Reach out to us at https://hextrust.com/contact
How can I ensure my assets are safe when staking?
If you are using a self-custodial solution, do ensure that you only connect to trusted websites, and follow usual best practices for keeping your wallet safe.
A key benefit of using Hex Trust to stake your assets is you will be able to enjoy the benefits of staking, as well as the benefits of military-grade security from a fully-licensed digital asset custodian.
