Staking Rewards
Also known as: PoS Rewards, Crypto Yield
Incentives earned for locking cryptocurrencies in a blockchain to support consensus.
Staking Rewards are periodic incentives distributed to participants who lock their cryptocurrencies in a proof-of-stake (PoS) or delegated PoS blockchain. By staking, users help secure the network and validate transactions. Rewards are typically issued in the native token and vary depending on the total network stake, inflation schedule, validator performance, and lock-up duration. Staking rewards can compound over time and form a passive income stream, but may involve slashing, token volatility, and liquidity risks.
