What is Soft Staking?
Soft Staking is a way to earn rewards (like interest or yield) on your crypto assets without locking them up. Unlike traditional (hard) staking where your coins are locked for days or weeks, soft staking gives you:
✅ Daily or flexible rewards
✅ No lock-up period
✅ Withdraw or trade anytime
✅ Still earn passive income
It's offered mostly by crypto exchanges (like Binance, KuCoin, OKX) where they stake your assets for you in a shared pool.

🧠 Example:
Let’s say you have 10 Solana (SOL).
You soft-stake it on KuCoin → You get daily rewards without losing access to trade or withdraw those SOL anytime.

🧨 Top Coins Available for Soft Staking:
Solana (SOL)
Cardano (ADA)
Polkadot (DOT)
Cosmos (ATOM)
Tezos (XTZ)
While it’s flexible, the exchange controls the keys. For full control, use a private wallet + native staking — but for convenience and easy earning, soft staking is best for beginners and casual holders.
