#SoftStaking

Soft staking is a method of generating passive rewards with cryptocurrencies, without completely locking them up. It is more flexible than traditional staking (or "hard staking"), which often imposes locking periods.

Definition of soft staking

Soft staking allows you to:

Keep your tokens available (you can withdraw or exchange them at any time).

Receive automatic rewards just by keeping them in your wallet or on a platform that offers this option.

How does it work?

It depends on the platform (e.g., Binance, KuCoin, OKX, etc.):

You hold supported tokens (e.g., DOT, ATOM, ADA).

The platform stakes these tokens in the background.

You receive daily or weekly rewards, proportional to your balance.

Advantages of soft staking

No locking period: you can sell or transfer at any time.

Passive rewards: without any action on your part.

Accessible: often enabled by default on some platforms.
