FAQ
What is cryptocurrency staking?
Staking is locking crypto to help validate transactions on proof-of-stake blockchains. In return, you earn rewards (new coins). Like earning interest on a savings account. Ethereum staking earns 3-5% APY, Cardano 4-5%, Solana 6-8%.
Is staking safe?
Risks include: price volatility (rewards in crypto, not dollars), lock-up periods (can't sell immediately), validator slashing (penalties for downtime), and smart contract bugs. Use reputable validators and never stake more than you can afford to lose.
Do I need 32 ETH to stake Ethereum?
No. 32 ETH required to run your own validator node. For smaller amounts, use liquid staking (Lido, Rocket Pool) or centralized exchanges (Coinbase, Kraken). Liquid staking gives you a token (stETH) you can trade while earning rewards.
