Understand Crypto Staking in Less Than 1 Minute

Ethereum Staking

Cryptocurrency transactions can be validated by two ways: Proof of Work and Proof of Stake. Proof of Work is for mining and Proof of Stake is for Crypto Staking.

Both ways validate and confirm cryptocurrencies transactions onto the blockchain and in return validators get rewards in the form of cryptocurrency.

Crypto Staking is similar to earning interest on your bank account savings.

Therefore, Crypto Staking came into existence in which cryptocurrency holders stake their bought coins to support the blockchain transaction validation process.
