Staking definition
Definición
Locking up cryptocurrency to support network operations and earn rewards in PoS systems
Staking democratizes validation by basing selection on economic stake rather than hardware; Ethereums transition to PoS in 2022 reduced energy use by 99.95%. Staking Platforms (2025): Lido: 30% of ETH staked, liquid staking tokens. Rocket Pool: Decentralized, 16 ETH minimum. Ankr: Multi-chain staking, yields 4-12%. Risks: Slashing for downtime/misbehavior, opportunity cost of locked funds, centralization via large pools.
