🟣 What’s NFT Staking? How It Really Works
NFT staking is one of the newest ways people are earning passive income with crypto. Instead of selling their NFTs, holders can **lock them up** on certain platforms and get rewards in return — just like staking crypto coins.
The idea is simple: when you stake an NFT, you’re locking it on a platform that pays you rewards for keeping it there. You still *own* the NFT, but it works for you while you hold it. Rewards depend on things like how long you stake, how many NFTs you have, and what project you stake with.
Some projects doing this include MOBOX, where you stake NFTs called MOMOs to earn the MBOX token, or Zookeeper, where you can stake ZooBoosters to get more rewards from liquidity pools. Binance itself has something too — the **NFT PowerStation** lets fans stake team NFTs to earn extra Fan Token rewards and get closer perks with their favorite sports clubs.
Most NFT staking is happening in play-to-earn games and fan ecosystems for now, but it’s opening up new ideas for NFTs beyond just art and collecting. Think of it like giving your digital collectibles a job — earning you more while you keep them.
It’s still early days for NFT staking, so always check how it works and whether your NFT is eligible. But as more tools and games pop up, staking could become a normal way to get more from NFTs.
