  Staking is a consensus mechanism used by Proof of Stake (POS) coins to secure the network and validate transactions. Instead of miners solving complex mathematical problems like in traditional mining, stakers hold a certain amount of coins in a wallet and lock them up as collateral. By doing so, they become eligible to validate transactions and create new blocks. Stakers are chosen to validate transactions based on the number of coins they hold and the length of time they have been staking. This process is more energy-efficient compared to traditional mining and allows coin holders to earn rewards for participating in network security.

  Staking is like earning interest on your savings account. When you stake your coins, you are essentially lending them to the network to help secure it. In return, you earn rewards in the form of additional coins. The more coins you stake and the longer you stake them, the higher your chances of being chosen to validate transactions and earn rewards. Staking is a popular way for coin holders to earn passive income and participate in the network's governance.
