This committed amount is called a <strong>stake<\/strong>. The network uses it as collateral: honest behavior is rewarded, while rule violations can result in a portion of the stake being destroyed through slashing.<\/p>\n<p>Staking can be done in several ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Solo validation:<\/strong> Running a full validator node requires meeting the network&#8217;s minimum stake requirement (for example, 32 ETH on Ethereum) and maintaining reliable uptime. This offers the full reward but demands technical knowledge and capital.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Liquid staking:<\/strong> Protocols such as Lido or Rocket Pool allow users to stake smaller amounts and receive a liquid token representing their staked position. This token can be used in DeFi while the underlying asset continues earning staking rewards.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exchange staking:<\/strong> Many centralized exchanges offer staking services, handling the technical requirements in exchange for a fee. Users give up direct custody of funds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Staking pools:<\/strong> Multiple participants pool their tokens to meet minimum thresholds, sharing both responsibilities and rewards proportionally.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Staking rewards are typically expressed as an annualized percentage and are paid in the network&#8217;s native token. Reward rates vary by network, total amount staked, and protocol parameters, and are generally not guaranteed to remain constant.<\/p>\n<p>Staking is distinct from earning interest in a traditional savings account. The underlying asset&#8217;s value fluctuates, the protocol&#8217;s rules can change through governance, and there is no deposit insurance.
