Staking is the process of locking up tokens in a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain to help validate transactions and secure the network. In return, participants earn staking rewards, often in the form of newly issued tokens or transaction fees.
On AstraBlox, staking is non-custodial, meaning you keep control of your wallet and private keys. You can stake supported tokens directly from your Web3 wallet and track rewards in the AstraBlox dashboard.
