What is Staking?
Locking up coins to help secure a proof-of-stake network in exchange for rewards.
Validators put coins at stake as a guarantee of honest behaviour; misbehaviour can cost part of the stake. Holders who do not run a validator can delegate to one or use a staking service. Rewards are paid in the same coin, so they do not protect against its price falling, and staked coins can take days to withdraw.
