#SoftStacking
Soft Staking is a type of cryptocurrency staking where users earn rewards for holding crypto in their wallet without locking it up or committing to a fixed staking period. It's different from traditional (or "hard") staking because your assets remain liquid and accessible, allowing you to withdraw or trade them at any time.
Key Features of Soft Staking:
No lock-up period
You can access and use your funds whenever you want, unlike in traditional staking where tokens are locked for a set duration.
Automatic rewards
Rewards are usually calculated and distributed automatically to your wallet (often daily or weekly).
User-friendly
Ideal for beginners, since it doesn't require complex setup like running a validator node.
Offered by exchanges
Many centralized platforms like Binance, KuCoin, and Coinbase offer soft staking as a service, making it easy to participate.
