    Staking crypto exposes you to potential risks such as slashing. Slashing is a penalty imposed on stakers for misbehavior, such as double signing or going offline for an extended period. This can result in a loss of a portion of the staked tokens. It is important to carefully choose the staking platform and understand their slashing policies to mitigate this risk.

    When staking crypto, there is a risk of smart contract vulnerabilities. If the staking platform has a poorly designed or audited smart contract, it can be exploited by attackers, leading to the loss of staked funds. It is crucial to research and choose a reputable staking platform with a secure smart contract to minimize this risk.
