What is staking?

Staking is the process of locking up a digital asset to provide economic security for a public blockchain.

There are mainly two types of stakes: -

1) Proof of Work (PoW): You use high-end computers to solve difficult mathematical puzzles, and whoever solves them first (according to the specs) gets rewarded. An example of such staking is Bitcoin (BTC).

Proof of Stake (PoS): To secure the network, you lock up your cryptocurrency in a pool. In return, you get paid the transaction fee.

Halal Staking: When you lock your crypto assets to support and secure the network and operations of that particular project, you get rewarded with a transaction fee to support the network. It’s also called “Proof of Stake.” The more coins you stake, the more secure the network becomes. You are never guaranteed a confirmed return as the value of the cryptocurrency keeps on changing. An example of such a project is Tezos XTZ.

Forbidden Staking in Islam: If you lock a crypto asset for a particular time period on the blockchain and that particular blockchain lends it out to others, in return, they get paid interest, and that interest is divided and paid back to you according to the amount you contributed. This type of stake is completely forbidden in Islam. AAVE & CAKE are two examples of such blockchain projects. Most Binance staking is not all staking Binance actually doing like a bank module, such as lending, borrowing, and paying interest to customers.

What is Proof of Stake?

A newer consensus mechanism called Proof of Stake has emerged, with the idea of increasing speed and efficiency while lowering fees. A major way Proof of Stake reduces costs is by not requiring all those miners to churn through math problems, which is an energy-intensive process. Instead, transactions are validated by people who are literally invested in the blockchain via staking.

What are the advantages of staking?

Many long-term crypto holders look at staking as a way of making their assets work for them by generating rewards, rather than collecting dust in their crypto wallets.

Staking has the added benefit of contributing to the security and efficiency of the blockchain projects you support. By staking some of your funds, you make the blockchain more resistant to attacks and strengthen its ability to process transactions. (Some projects also award “governance tokens” to staking participants, which give holders a say in future changes and upgrades to that protocol.)

Some of the best stake options in Crypto

Staking is a great way to generate passive income. One amazing tool that you can use to search for projects and their staking potential is www.stakingrewards.com/earn.

Here are some of my favorite projects for staking:

There are different ways in which you can stake your crypto in order to obtain staking rewards rather than holding crypto idle in your wallet

  1. Use Centralized exchange to stake (Like Binance, FTX, Coinbase, OKEX Kraken, etc.)
  2. Stake through Defi Wallets (Like Trust Wallet, Meta Mask, ThorRune, Algo, etc)

1)-Solana (SOL)

This is one of my favorite projects, You can simply keep Solana on Binance and they assign you to their partner validator and you start earning. You can also download Exodus wallet and start staking Solana in Exodus wallet, my favorite app to stake SOL in Phantom just a few clicks Phantom is Defi wallet it’s very safe and secure to stake and placed your assets.

2)-Cosmos (ATOM)

Currently, ATOM offers staking rewards ranging from 7% to 11%. You’ll only need 1 ATOM to begin staking with Atomic Wallet, which equates to around $37 at the moment (though this price is subject to changes daily). You can also find a staking calculator on the Cosmos website that allows you to find out how much you’ll earn in rewards depending on how much ATOM you decide to stake.

It’s important to note that Atomic Wallet charges a network fee for staking, but this fee changes depending on the network load or traffic. On top of this, your funds will be locked for the duration of the staking period, and it’ll take 21 days for your funds to be released if you decide you no longer wish to stake your funds during the staking window.

3)-Tezos (XTZ)

You can stake Tezos by simply holding this coin on Coinbase, Binance or even Ledger Nano X. Current annual yield on Tezos is around 6% minus a validator’s fees. When you start delegating, it will take almost 5 weeks for you to receive your first rewards.

4)-Algorand (ALGO)

Again, this is another good project for which you can take part in PoS staking by holding the coin on Coinbase or Binance. Coinbase is currently offering 6% APY whereas Binance is offering 8% to 10%.

5)-VeChain (VET)

This project is one of my favorites in supply chain management. This network has two coins, the main coin VET which acts as a store of value, and VTHO which is needed to interact with the VeChain network. You can buy VET on Binance, transfer it to VeChainThor (you can download this app on both iOS and android), and start staking. The staking APY is around 3%

6)-The Graph(GRT)

Binance Provides staking of GRT through its trading platform

  • Head on to the “Locked Staking” option and then click on the “View more” button.
  • Select GRT from the list of assets that you can stake, fix the duration and then click on “Stake Now”.
  • Confirm the details of GRT such as Duration and Available amount.
  • Enter the amount you would want to stake and click on ” Confirm purchase”.
  • To view past locked staking activities select “Wallet”, then click on “Earn” and select “Locked Staking”.
  • You can redeem your assets in advance by selecting the “Redeem Earlier” option. However, you won’t receive the earned rewards if redeemed earlier in case of locked staking.

7. Staking $MINA

There are only two wallets that offer Mina staking. The first is clor.io, and the second is https://www.aurowallet.com/.For the purpose of this demo we will be using auro wallet as it offers a more user-friendly approach for staking.

  • Next setup the wallet as you would do in any other wallet setup procedure and store your seed phrase in a secure way
  • Once the setup process is over you need to send $Mina from your exchange wallet to the Auro wallet that you just setup
  • Once you’ve received your $MINA, select “Staking” in the bottom menu of the extension dashboard, a screen like the one illustrated below will show you all the current details of staking on Mina. Select “Go to Staking” to continue.
Press enter or click to view image in full size

You will now see the “Block Producer List”. In the list, select the validator of your choice, and then select “Next”. Fill out the fee you’d like to pay and leave a memo if needed. Then, select “Next” once again.

  • Finally, you will be asked to confirm the transaction and it is done ✅

These are some of the projects that I personally love. There are many projects out there that you can search and evaluate. As long as you are holding your coins on an exchange that finds the delegator to do the staking work for you, it’s fine and you need not worry about it. However, when you select a staking provider on your own, please be very careful and only go for a trusted staking provider. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Have fun staking:)
