Everything You Need to Know About Staking on MultiversX 📢

The massive popularity of decentralized finance solutions opened a new realm of possibilities in which anyone, anywhere in the world is able to easily gain a blockchain-based source of passive income 💸. Many people consider DeFi to be the next step in the evolution of blockchain technology. But what exactly is so profitable about DeFi, and how can MultiversX Network help you improve your decentralized finance earnings?

What Is Staking? 🤔

Staking is by far the most popular way of receiving money in the DeFi ecosystem.

Originally, the only way to profit from traditional cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum was mining crypto. However, mining is not for everyone: it requires a massive energy consumption, expensive dedicated hardware called “mining rigs”, and a lot of technical knowledge.

Staking allows you to gain a source of blockchain-based income comparable to mining, but without any of the requirements of mining. Simply put, delegating to a staking pool is like mining but it doesn’t require any hardware for the delegator, it doesn’t have a high energy cost, and it’s really easy to do.

How Does Staking Work? 🛠

The word “staking” simply means sending a certain amount of funds to a certain address of a smart contract, and keeping your funds there for a period of time.

As long as you keep your funds locked and don’t move them, you are eligible to earn rewards. However, you are still in total control of your tokens: you can withdraw them anytime you want.

When you withdraw your funds you stop staking, which means that from that moment you won’t be able to get any more interest – but you will keep anything that you’ve received until that point.

The Benefits of Staking 📈

Compared to crypto mining, which is costly and complicated, staking is much easier and more efficient. The advantages of staking cause many people to resign from mining, and meanwhile staking is becoming more and more popular.

Simplicity 🧮

The main reason for the immense popularity of crypto staking is how easy it is to profit from it. All you have to do is send some funds to a smart contract and keep the funds locked there for as long as you want. No further action on your part is needed, as you can simply sit back and enjoy your new source of blockchain-based passive income.

Security 🔐

Staking is considered a very safe way of profiting from blockchain technology. Unlike risky methods of earning crypto income such as trading, staking doesn’t include a significant risk. Funds that you keep locked while staking remain protected by advanced cryptographic algorithms securing the blockchain, and it’s practically impossible for anyone to steal them.

Profitability 🏧

Traditional fiat currency systems are very inefficient and costly to maintain, so they don’t allow people to earn a lot. Keeping money on your bank’s savings account will earn you almost nothing. Decentralized technologies are very cost-efficient, so the rate of interest you will be able to receive is higher.

How Can You Benefit From Staking? 🔍

Staking doesn’t require you to have any technical knowledge, and you don’t have to make a significant initial investment either. All it takes to start receiving rewards as a passive income from staking are some cryptocurrency coins like EGLD.

Not all cryptocurrencies support staking. For example, Bitcoin (BTC) doesn’t include the staking feature.

When it comes to the digital assets which enable staking, not all of them are equally profitable. If you want to assure the highest possible rate of income, it’s essential to pick the most innovative DeFi assets that you can stake.
