So, first of all, what is Staking?

Crypto staking is the technique of locking up cryptocurrency holdings in exchange for rewards or interest. Blockchain technology is used to create a cryptocurrency, in which crypto transactions are validated, and the resulting data is kept on the blockchain. Validating those transactions on a blockchain is referred to as staking.

However, attaining that consensus requires the participation of others. Investors that actively maintain or lock up their crypto holdings in their crypto wallet are participating in the consensus-taking procedures of these networks. Stakers are the people who approve and verify blockchain transactions.

The networks reward those investors for doing so. The incentives will vary depending on the network. It may be beneficial to compare crypto staking to putting money in a savings account. While the money is in the bank, the depositor obtains interest as a reward from the bank, which utilizes the money for other reasons (lending, etc.). As a result, staking coins is similar to earning interest.

On Trader Joe, The JOE Ecosystem offers ‘Modular Staking’ to its users.
