Frequently Asked Questions
What is Crypto Staking?
In laymen’s terms, staking is the process of keeping funds in a cryptocurrency wallet (or staking pool) to help the underlying proof-of-stake blockchain network operate more efficiently and securely.
But let’s briefly break this down starting from first principle. In the English dictionary, the word “stake” is used in the context of “supporting” – think of the word “stakeholders” which makes reference to those people internally supporting a particular business (shareholders, customers, employees, etc) to grow and prosper. In the context of cryptocurrency, the term “staking” has the same meaning. Its crypto origins come from the term proof-of-stake, which is a consensus algorithm that is supported by a cluster of nodes that purchase a stake (through buying pre-mined tokens) in a particular network. The point here is that nodes play an important stakeholder role in supporting the growth and prosperity of a particular network. If you want to explore this topic further, read our comprehensive staking guide.
Why was Proof of Stake (PoS) developed?
Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism was born in 2011 as a way to use far less energy than Proof of Work (PoW) to validate transactions on the blockchain, and thus make the process significantly more sustainable.
Proof of Work vs Proof of Stake: what’s the difference?
In Proof of Work (PoW), miners with specialized hardware ASICs try to solve complex cryptographic problems in order to receive the block reward + transaction fee as an incentive for solving the puzzle.
However, solving these increasingly difficult mathematical puzzles is extremely energy-intensive.
With Proof of Stake (PoS), no mining is required to solve complex mathematical puzzles to validate transactions, and therefore the process is significantly less energy-intensive. In proof-of-stake mechanisms, new blocks are created through a process known as ‘forging‘ or ‘minting‘ (not ‘mining’) through a pseudo-random selection process. Unlike proof-of-work systems whereby a miner is awarded a block reward plus the transaction fees, in a proof-of-stake system the chosen node that helps to protect and run the network is rewarded with only the transaction fees.
How does the Proof of Stake (PoS) mechanism work?
Essentially, in a Proof of Stake consensus mechanism, nodes participating in the forging process of a particular blockchain network will be required to purchase pre-mined tokens (locking a certain amount of tokens) as a stake.
The nodes that are successful at validating a transaction are selected through a pseudo-random process that is based on numerous factors such as the size of the stake. The means a bigger stake has a higher probability of being selected to validate a transaction (and earning the transaction fee) although newer staking mechanisms are adding a greater weighting to other factors such as node age, wealth, and specific behaviors to ensure nodes are always acting in the best interest of the network.
What are crypto staking rewards?
Staking rewards are the tokens that are received (as an incentive) for helping to protect and support a blockchain network that is governed by a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism. These tokens are actually a proportion of the newly minted tokens in the network.
The value of these freshly minted tokens is essentially derived through the interplay of supply and demand of the network’s listed token on a cryptocurrency exchange.
How does crypto staking inflation work?
When a Proof-of-Stake network issues new tokens to compensate nodes for protecting the network, the new supply of tokens dilutes their relative ownership/participation in the network. Many refer to this as the staking inflation rate but what’s really happening here (all else equal) is dilution. Unless a node is maintaining its stake in the network, all else equal, a constant increase of new token supply will dilute a node’s stake in the network. This, in turn, lowers the probability of being selected to validate the next transaction (and therefore earn the transaction fees) and also dilutes the price of all the tokens traded on the secondary market. This is why it is important to compare the annual inflation rate together with the annual yield or APR (annual percentage rate) for staking rewards.
How do you calculate the inflation /dilution rate?
Simply divide the number of newly minted tokens (expected in a year) by the total supply of tokens at the beginning of the year.
