Staking is a process of locking up funds in order to receive rewards. The mechanics of staking vary depending on the type of asset being staked and the platform it is being staked on. Generally, users will need to deposit the asset into a staking platform or wallet, and then the platform will automatically take care of the staking process, including distributing rewards. The amount of reward received is typically proportional to the amount of asset being staked, with the rewards being paid out in the same asset or another asset. Additionally, the length of time that the asset is staked for can also affect the amount of rewards that are earned.
