Everyone says “just stake your tokens and earn” — but what’s actually happening under the hood? 🧵
Let’s unpack what staking really does in Proof-of-Stake networks...
When you stake, you’re locking tokens to support network consensus.
Those tokens become economic security — giving validators something to lose if they cheat. 🛡️
Your stake isn’t idle; it’s the backbone of trust.
- Validators propose and verify blocks.
- Delegators lend their stake to these validators, helping them secure the network and share in rewards.
On Cronos POS Chain for example, staking $CRO maintains finality for payments and governance. ⚡
So every time you stake on Cronos, you’re not just earning yield — you’re literally fortifying the multi-chain infrastructure powering the Cronos economy. 💪
Next: how does PoS stay secure without mining? That’s all game theory. ⚙️
