WHAT IS STAKING?

Passive income while you “hodl”

Lock your crypto assets for a set period through Proof of Stake (PoS) and earn passive rewards. You choose the duration, and your staked tokens generate potential returns automatically – transforming idle digital assets into income-producing investments.

Powering blockchain security

Your staked assets serve as validators that verify transactions and secure the network. This eco-friendly consensus method replaces energy-intensive mining, creating faster transactions on a greener blockchain while rewarding you with new coins.
